Congratulations
You are now the owner of a Goulds pump. This pump was
carefully inspected and subjected to final tests before releas
-
ing for shipment. In order to assure maximum performance
please follow the simple instructions in this manual.
PUMPING OF VOLATILE PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS CAN BE HAZARDOUS. FOR
THIS REASON, EXTREME CARE MUST BE EXERCISED
AND ALL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
STRICTLY ADHERED TO. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN
RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
APPLICATION:
This pump is designed to pump petro-
leum products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel or gasoline
in well-ventilated areas that do not contain potentially
explosive fumes.
This equipment should be operated only by personnel
who have been thoroughly instructed as to the hazards
involved and who are familiar with the following operat-
ing and safety instructions.
OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Use non-sparking tools when making pump connec-
tions.
2.
Always securely connect the ground wire to a good
ground on the tank being filled, before operating the
pump.
3.
Do not operate the engine while filling the pump tank
with its initial priming liquid.
4.
Do not refill engine if running or hot.
5.
Do not pump liquids other than water or petroleum
products.
6.
Do not operate with leaky seal or piping, closed suc-
tion or discharge valve or with a fill plug removed.
7.
Operate pump only with guard in place.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1.
If engine is hard to start, or runs rough, move unit to a
safe area and check out on water.
2.
This engine must be maintained in original condition
throughout its use. Prior to each use, inspect the air
cleaner, spark arresting muffler, shielded spark plug,
shielded spark plug wire, and the enclosed run-stop
switch, to make certain that these are not worn or
damaged in any way.
3.
Use only original replacement parts - this is critical
since each part was selected for its safety and high
quality.
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
1. APPLICATION:
This pump is designed to pump
petroleum products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel or
gasoline in well-ventilated areas that do not contain
potentially explosive fumes. Primarily intended for
fuel transfer or refueling construction equipment at
remote open air sites where the lack of electricity
makes it impossible to use pumps driven by explo-
sion-proof electric motors.
Pumping of volatile petroleum products can be haz-
ardous. For this reason, extreme care must be exer-
cised and all operating and safety instructions strictly
adhered to.
2.
As with all self-priming centrifugal pumps, the pump
tank must be initially filled with the liquid being
pumped.
DO NOT
run the engine while filling the
pump tank. Failure to follow this precaution could
result in a fire or explosion.
3.
This pump is designed primarily for water and petro-
leum products use. Before pumping other liquids,
carefully read the special note below.
4.
Do not subject the pump to a pressure in excess of
75 psi.
5.
Should the fluid temperature rise more than 50ºF.
ambient, expansion joints must be installed on both
the suction and discharge ports to relieve any stress
on the pump casing.
6.
No modifications, additions or deletions should be
made to the pump.
7.
Prime movers powering the pumps may operate
at high temperatures. Keep hands off mufflers and
manifolds to avoid burns.
8.
In systems where shock wave pressures may be
generated, protective devices (check valve/gate
valve, etc.) must be installed on discharge line to
prevent shock wave pressures from entering casing.
A discharge check valve is required when operating
against high static heads.
9.
Do not refill engine fuel tank while power unit is run
-
ning or while hot. Prevent splashing of gasoline or
other fuel while filling supply tank.
10.
Do not use in a combustible atmosphere.
11.
Make daily checks of the tightness of suction and
discharge pipe, drain, filler plug and pump gaskets.
Check tightness of gasoline tank filler cap each time
tank is filled. Operation should not proceed until all
of the above items have been checked and are tight.
The performance of Goulds Water
Technology is based upon clear, cold,
fresh water with suction conditions as shown on the
performance curve. If used to pump other liquids, pump
performance may differ from rated performance based
on the different specific gravity, temperature, viscosity,
etc. of the liquid being pumped. However, a standard
pump may not be safe for pumping all types of liquids,
such as toxic, volatile or chemical liquids, or liquids under
extreme temperatures or pressures. Please consult your
Goulds Water Technology catalog as well as local codes
and general references to determine the appropriate
pumps for your particular application. Since it is impos-
sible for us to anticipate every application of a Goulds
pump, if you plan to use the pump for other than a water
or petroleum product application, consult Goulds Water
Technology beforehand to determine whether such ap-
plication may be proper or safe under the circumstances.
Failure to do so could result in property damage or
personal harm.
THE INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP
SHALL INCLUDE ADEQUATE
DRAINAGE OR LOCATED SUCH THAT OTHER EQUIP-
MENT OR PROPERTY WOULD NOT BE DAMAGED IN
THE EVENT OF ANY LEAKAGE. THE PUMP SHOULD
NOT BE INSTALLED ABOVE EQUIPMENT OR PROP-
ERTY UNLESS ADEQUATE DRAINAGE IS PROVIDED.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE.
OVERTIGHTENING OF THE CASING
FASTENERS COULD DAMAGE THE
FASTENER, RESULTING IN LEAKAGE AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
