RECEIVING THE PUMP
s
! WARNING
Only trained personnel should do lifting. Pumps and
motors often have integral lifting eyes or eye bolts.
These are intended for use in lifting the individual
pieces of equipment only. Failure to properly lift
equipment could result in serious physical injury or
damage to equipment.
s
! WARNING
Keep hands and feet from under the unit during these
steps. If slings slip and the unit tips over, severe
personal injury or death may result.
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.

bearings and machined surfaces will be required. Rotate shaft
several times every 3 months. Refer to driver and coupling
manufacturers for their long term storage procedures. Store in a

This service can be supplied by contacting your local
Goulds sales representative.
