Goulds Pumps 3420 - IOM - Manual (Page 18)

RECEIVING THE PUMP
Inspect the pump as soon as it is received. Carefully check
that everything is in good order. Make notes of damaged or
missing items on the receipt and freight bill. File any claims
with the transportation company as soon as possible.
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.
HANDLING
s
! WARNING
Pump and components are heavy. Failure to properly lift
and support the equipment could result in serious
physical injury, or damage to the pump(s). Steel-toed
shoes must be worn at all times.
Use care when moving pumps. Lifting equipment must be
able to adequately support the entire assembly. Hoist a bare
pump or a pump and soleplate unit using a suitable sling,
under the two bearing housings (Fig. 3A). Baseplate mounted
units without motors are moved by supporting the pump with
a sling under the two bearing housings and a sling under the
motor end of the baseplate (Fig. 3B). Baseplate mounted
units with motors are moved with slings attached to the
baseplate lifting lugs. The use of a spreader bar is required so
that the pump is not damaged (Fig 3C).
