Equipment that will operate in a potentially explosive environment must be installed in accordance with the
following instructions.
RECEIVING THE PUMP
Check pump for shortages and damage immediately upon
arrival (an absolute must!). Prompt reporting to the
carrier’s agent, with notations made on the freight bill, will
expedite satisfactory adjustment by the carrier.
Pumps and drivers are normally shipped from the factory
mounted on a baseplate. Couplings may either be
completely assembled or have the coupling hubs mounted
on the shafts and the connecting members removed. When
the connecting members are removed, they will be
packaged in a separate container and shipped with the
pump or attached to the baseplate.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Short Term: (Less than 6 months): Goulds normal
packaging procedure is designed to protect the pump
during shipping. Upon receipt, store in a covered and dry
location.
Long Term: (More than 6 months): Preservative treatment
of bearings and machined surfaces will be required. Rotate
shaft several times every three months. Refer to driver and
coupling manufacturers for their long term storage
procedures. Store in a covered dry location.
NOTE: Long term storage treatment can be purchased
with the initial pump order.
