Goulds Pumps 3100 - IOM - Manual (Page 23)

GROUT BASEPLATE
1. Clean areas of baseplate that will contact grout.
Do not use an oil-based cleaner because grout
will not bond to it.
2. Build a dam around foundation (Fig. 7).
Thoroughly wet foundation.
3. Pour grout slowly until level with the top of the
dam. The use of non-shrink epoxy grout is
recommended; follow manufacturer’s
recommendations. If cementitious grout is
used, remove air by puddling or with a vibrator.
(Fig. 7).
4. Allow grout to set.
5. Fill remainder of baseplate with grout. Remove
air as before (Fig. 8).
6. Allow grout to set at least 48 hours.
7. Tighten foundation bolts.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
The Model 3100 is supplied in a close- coupled
configuration. As such, pump and motor alignment
are not required. It is important, however, that the
pump and motor are rigidly mounted such that no
external loading/vibration is present. It is
recommended that any “soft-foot” condition be
eliminated as follows:
1. Bolt the pump to the baseplate or mounting
plate at the case mounting feet.
2. Add or remove shims under each motor foot
such that a rigid support is provided. Prying of
the motor or the use of excessive force should
be avoided as this could result in damage to the
motor bearing and/or pump seal during
operation.
3. Tighten each of the motor mounting screws.
