SECTION 1 — GENERAL INFORMATION
1–1 INTRODUCTION
The design, materials and workmanship incorporated in
the construction of Goulds Water Technology submers-
ible turbine pumps makes them capable of giving long,
trouble-free service. The life and satisfactory service of
any mechanical unit, however, is enhanced and extended
by correct application, proper installation, periodic
inspection and careful maintenance. This instruction
manual was prepared to assist the operators in under-
standing the construction and correct methods of install-
ing, operating and maintaining these pumps.
Study thoroughly Sections 1 through 8 and keep this
manual handy for reference. Further information can be
obtained by contacting Goulds Water Technology sales
office or your local branch office.
GOULDS WATER TECHNOLOGY

DAMAGES OR DELAY CAUSED BY FAILURE TO
COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS IN-
STRUCTION MANUAL.
1–2 RECEIVING AND CHECKING
The pump shall be carefully supported prior to unload-
ing from the carrier. Handle all components carefully. In-
spection for damage of the shipping crate shall be made
prior to unpacking the pump. After unpacking, visually
inspect the pump and check the following:
1. Contents of the pump assembly against shipping list.
2. All components for damage.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Any shortages or damages should be immediately called
to the attention of the local freight agent of the carrier by
which the shipment arrived and proper notation made on
the bill. This shall prevent any controversy when a claim
is made and to facilitate prompt and satisfactory adjust-
ment.
1–3 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The material and equipment necessary for installation
of the pump will vary with the size of the pump and the
type of installation. The following discussion and list of
standard tools and supplies is therefore offered only as a
guide.
1. BULK MATERIAL
Anti-galling lubricant, thread compound, lubrication
oil, grease, petroleum based solvent.
2. HAND TOOLS
Pipe wrenches, two chains tongs, mechanic's hand
tools and machinist level.
3. INSTRUMENTS
One megger, or similar instrument indicating electrical
resistance, clamp-on ammeter, voltmeter and a good
grade of pipe joint compound should be available to
facilitate assembly and possible future disassembly.
4. INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT
Wooden friction blocks or steel clamps, steel column
lifting elevators of approved type and of proper size
for the column pipe, and cable sling approximately 10
feet long of adequate size for the loads involved.
Although portable derricks are sometimes used, a
properly designed pump setting rig is recommended.
It must be possible to erect the crown block to a
height so as to allow the load hook to be raised about
three feet higher than the longest piece. The lifting
device must be of sufficient strength and rigidity to
raise the total weight of the unit safely.
REMEMBER – REGARDLESS OF THE
TYPE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT, OR
THE TYPE OF PUMPING EQUIPMENT, THE PRI-
MARY RULE IS: SAFETY FIRST.
