2.4.1 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.

contracting your local Goulds sales representatives.
2.4.2 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 toed shoes must be worn at all times.
Use care when moving pumps. Lifting equipment must be able to adequately support the entire assem-
bly. Hoist bare pump using a suitable sling, under the suction flange and motor. Baseplate mounted units
can also be moved with slings under the pump casing and driver. See and
