Abstract
An adjustable sub-base mounting assembly for installing a pump onto a concrete base includes a track assembly having at least one upper track member, wherein one or more cradles supporting the pump are mounted to a portion of the upper track member. The track assembly includes at least one lower track member disposed in sliding engagement with the upper track member(s) to allow the pump to be movable via the track assembly. A sub-base assembly has a sub-base and at least one track support member, the lower track member(s) secured to the track support member. The adjustable sub-base mounting assembly includes one or more one jacking bolts to adjustably secure the track support member(s) to the sub-base, allowing for adjustable positioning of the track support member(s) relative to the sub-base, thereby permitting precise alignment of the rotating unit with the volute of the pump.
