IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER
To: Our Valued Customers
Goulds' pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and operated. We have an
extensive network of experienced sales and service professionals to assist in maximizing your satisfaction with our products.
Safe installation, operation, and maintenance of Goulds' equipment are an essential end user responsibility. This
Instruction,
Operation, and Maintenance
(IOM) manual identifies specific safety risks that must be considered at all times during product
life. Understanding and adhering to these safety warnings is mandatory to ensure person- nel, property, and/or the environment
will not be harmed. Adherence to these warnings alone, however, is not sufficient — it is anticipated that the end user will also
comply with industry and corporate safety standards. Identifying and eliminating unsafe installation, operating and maintenance
practices is the responsibility of all individuals involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of industrial equipment.
Specific to pumping equipment, two significant risks bear reinforcement above and beyond normal safety precautions.

WARNING
1
Operation of any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge must be avoided in all cases. Operation, even
for a brief period under these conditions, can cause superheating of enclosed pumpage and result in a violent
explosion. All necessary measures must be taken by the end user to ensure this condition is avoided.

WARNING
2
Pumping equipment Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance manuals clearly identify accepted methods for
disassembling pumping units. These methods must be adhered to. Specifically, applying heat to impellers and/or
impeller retaining devices to aid in their removal is strictly forbidden. Trapped liquid can rapidly expand and result
in a violent explosion and injury.
Please take the time to review and understand the safe installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines outlined in this
manual.
