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 is via a skid. It is designed to protect
the pump during shipping only. Upon receipt,
store in a covered and dry location.
Long Term: (More than 6 months) Preservative
treatment of bearings and machined surfaces is
required. Rotate the shaft several times every
three months making sure that the shaft does not
stop in the same place as it may sag. Refer to
driver and coupling manufacturers for their
recommended long-term storage procedures.
Store in covered dry location.
NOTE: Long term storage treatment can be
purchased with the initial pump order.
HANDLING
WARNING
Pump and components are heavy. Failure to
properly lift and support equipment
could result in serious physical injury
or damage to pumps. Steel toe shoes
must be worn at all times.
Use care when moving pumps. Lifting equipment
must be able to adequately support the entire
assembly. Position the pump where it can be
handled without dragging the casing on the ground
or moving the lifting equipment while the pump is
off the ground. Use the lifting lugs supplied with
the unit and suitable slings to lift the entire pump
to a vertical position (Figure 2). A tag line should
be attached to the casing end to prevent the pump
from swinging and possibly causing damage or
injury. Lower the unit into the sump. The motor
should then be hoisted into position using the
lifting lugs on the motor and a suitable sling
(Figure 3).
