Method 1 – Straight Edge Alignment for Standard Sleeve Method 2 – For Orange Hytrel Inserts, 3500 RPM

Type Coupler with Black Rubber Insert (See Illustration 6A) Operation, or All Other Coupler Types (See Illustration 6B)
Before aligning the coupler, make sure there is at least 1/8" end a. Make sure each hub is secured to its respective shaft and
clearance between the sleeve and the two coupler halves. that all connecting and/or spacing elements are removed at
this time.
1. Check angular misalignment using a micrometer or caliper.

Final Alignment
Final alignment cannot be accomplished until the pump has
been operated initially for a sufficient length of time to attain
operating temperature. When normal operating temperature
has been attained, secure the pump to re-check alignment
and compensate for temperature accordingly. (See Alignment
Section.)

WARNING: Rotating Components Hazard
Do not operate pump without all guards in place.
CORRECT ALIGNMENT
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury or death and property damage.

OPTIONAL Alignment Procedure
If desired, the pump and motor feet can be doweled to the
base after final alignment is complete. This should not be
done until the unit has been run for a sufficient length of time
and alignment is within the tolerance. (See Doweling Section.)
