PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
Pioneer ElectricPAKs include a rigidly mounted electric motor and Pioneer pump in either a Pioneer prime
or a standard centrifugal configuration supported by a modular frame intended for fixed installations. The
rigid mount between pump and motor maintains coupling alignment during transportation and operation,
increasing the time between coupling inspections.
For portable applications, drag skid, lifting bail, and quick connect junction box accessories are available.
The drag skid adder is highly recommended.
Refer to the motor manuals and applicable guides for startup, installation, and maintenance. The package
as a whole is not under the same warranty. For warranty information, please see the owner’s manual of each
component.
UNPACKING & INSPECTION
Transportation and Storage
Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump during shipment and for storage up to three months. It
is recommended to store the unit in a clean, dry place, protected from the environment, dirt, and debris.
IMPORTANT: See manufacturer’s recommendations for motor, panel, and pump storage.
1. Ensure the bearings are packed with recommended grease or coated with oil to prevent moisture from
entering the bearing housings.
2. Ensure the suction and discharge flanges are covered to prevent entry of debris.
3. Periodically check oil levels.
4. For cold weather storage, fully drain casing prior to storing.
Unpacking
1. Check for missing and damaged parts. Immediately report any issues to the transport company and
equipment manufacturer.
NOTE: Parts and/or accessories are sometimes individually wrapped or fastened to the equipment.
2. Examine the pump and motor unit upon arrival for shipping damage.
• If there is damage, notify the shipping agent and your sales representative.
Risk of severe injury or death.
• When lifting or moving heavy components, use suitable lifting equipment, in good condition, rated for at least 5 times the
weight of the materials being moved.
• Ensure forklift fork/tines are fully inserted. Failure to do so can lead to product damage, and/or the unit to fall off the forklift
and cause injury or death.
• Use only labeled tie down points to secure unit for transportation. Failure to use labeled tie down points could lead to
equipment damage and/or allow unit to come loose during transit and cause injury or death.
Risk of damage to equipment.
• The pump package must be transported in a level, horizontal position and secured using the identified tie-down points.
• If the pump package is dropped, impacted, or otherwise mishandled, malfunction can occur.

3. Check that guards are in their proper place and that fasteners are tightened.
4. Use skids for unloading if facilities are not available for lifting the materials off the carrier’s vehicle.
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Foundation
For fixed installations, provide a solid, level foundation.
1. Locate the foundation as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped.
• Provide adequate space for operation, maintenance, and inspection of the pump and equipment.
2. Allow the foundation to completely dry and cure before installing the pump system.
3. Use anchor bolts to attach the pump baseplate to the foundation.

Risk of severe injury or death.
• When lifting or moving heavy components, use suitable lifting equipment, in good condition, rated for at least 5 times the
weight of the materials being moved.
Risk of bodily injury or property damage.
• Pump installation and operation should only be performed by a qualified individual with experience in pump systems.
• Pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations. Gauges should be installed on the suction and discharge to
monitor pressure.
• Ensure that the foundation is rated to accommodate the operating weight of the package and that it is sized sufficiently for
the weight and loads the package will experience.
• Ensure all pipe loads are fully supported independently of the pump. Use properly rated gaskets and flanges and fully
tighten all bolts when connecting to the pump.

4. Use a machinist's level on the mounting pads for adjustments as the anchor bolts are tightened.
5. Provide leveling nuts or wedges for mounting the baseplate to the foundation.
6. For steel frames or similar structures, set the pump directly over support beams rigid enough to pre-
vent distortion and misalignment.
For portable skid-mounted configurations, make sure the pump set is level.
Piping Installation
Reference pump manual for specific piping installations. In general, complete the following:
• Ensure couplings are aligned.
NOTE: Generally, alignment is not needed because of the ElectricPAK’s motor stool.
• Properly support all suction and discharge piping to avoid strain on the pump.
• Piping should match the pump inlet and outlet connection sizes.
• Do not restrict suction intake.
NOTE: Do not use concentric reducers going into suction.
• Use isolation joints when needed.
• Orient eccentric reducers downwards.
