FRAME-MOUNTED UNITS
• A flat substantial foundation surface MUST be provided to
avoid distortion and/or strain when tightening the
foundation bolts. A rubber mounting is acceptable to reduce
noise or excessive vibration.
• Tighten motor hold-down bolts BEFORE connecting piping
to pump.

• Baseplate MUST be grouted to a foundation with solid
footing. Refer to Figure 1.
• Place unit in position on wedges located at four points, two
below approximate center of driver and two below
approximate center of pump. Adjust wedges to level unit.
Level or plumb suction and discharge connections.
• Make sure bedplate is not distorted and final coupling
alignment can be made within the limits of movement of
motor and by shimming, if necessary.
• Tighten foundation bolts finger tight and build dam around
foundation. Pour grout under bedplate making sure the areas
under the pump and motor feet are filled solid. Allow grout
to harden 48 hours before fully tightening foundation bolts.
• Tighten pump and motor hold-down bolts before aligning
shaft or connecting the piping to pump.
• Allow grout to harden for 48 hours before tightening 4
foundation bolts.
SAE – Engine Driven Pumps
The SAE engine drive bearing frame is designed to bolt directly
to the flywheel housing for engines with an SAE no. 1, 2, 3, 4
or 5 mount. The pump shaft extension is sized for use with
couplings bolted directly to the flywheel. Goulds Pumps
optional couplings are sized for 6
flywheels. Although other flywheel mount couplings may be
used, it is recommended that the Goulds Pumps coupling be
used to ensure long and trouble-free operation from your
Goulds Pump.
INSTALLATION
• The pump may be installed horizontally, with the discharge
rotated to any position allowed by the casing bolt pattern
(371). It is recommended that the discharge be located
horizontally, above the suction.
• The casing must be supported on all pumps by a rigid
support which is anchored to the unit base or foundation.
• For M-Group pumps it is recommended that this support is
bolted to the motor adapter ring using 2 or more of the
casing bolts (371). It is likely that longer bolts will be
required for the additional support thickness. Use SAE grade
5 bolts, torqued as indicated in this manual.

• For L-Group pumps it is recommended that the pump is
supported beneath the two feet cast into the motor adapter
(108). These feet must be bolted to the support.
• Begin the assembly of the pump to the engine by thoroughly
cleaning the engine flywheel and flywheel housing.
• For Goulds Pumps optional couplings – Ensure that the
coupling hub set screw is backed out enough to ensure
clearance for the shaft key during assembly. Mount the
coupling assembly to the engine flywheel using the bolts
provided torqued as follows in a crossing sequence:

(For other couplings follow manufacturers

• Place the pump shaft key into the pump shaft (122) and align
the shaft to the coupling. Slide the pump into the coupling
until the engine adapter ring (340) contacts the engine
flywheel housing.
• Mount the pump to the engine using the bolts and lock-
washers provided, torqued as follows in a crossing sequence:
SAE #2, #3, #4, #5 – 20 lbs.-ft. (27 N . m)
SAE #1 – 50 lbs.-ft. (68 N . m)
• Install coupling guards (501N).
• Bolt motor adapter (108) to the rigid support described
above.

• Alignment MUST be checked prior to running. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
• Tighten all hold-down bolts before checking alignment.
• If realignment is necessary, always move the motor. Shim
as required.
• Parallel misalignment, shafts with axis parallel but not
concentric. Place dial indicator on one hub and rotate this
hub 360° while taking readings on the outside diameter of
the other hub. Parallel alignment is achieved when reading is
0.005" (0.127 mm) TIR, or less.
• Angular misalignment, shaft with axis concentric but not
parallel. Place dial indicator on one hub and rotate this hub
360° while taking readings on the face of the other hub.
Angular alignment is achieved when reading is 0,005"
(0.127 mm) TIR, or less.
