equipment damage. Lift equipment only at specifically identified lifting points
or as instructed in the current IOM. Current manuals are available at
www.gouldspumps.com/literature_ioms.html or from your local ITT Goulds
Pumps sales representative. Note: Lifting devices (eyebolts, slings, spreaders,
etc.) must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.
WARNING
Alignment:
Shaft alignment procedures must be followed to prevent catastrophic failure of
drive components or unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow coupling
manufacturer's coupling installation and operation procedures.
WARNING
Before beginning any alignment procedure, make sure driver power is locked
out. Failure to lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
CAUTION
Piping:
Never draw piping into place by forcing at the flanged connections of the
pump. This may impose dangerous strains on the unit and cause misalign-
ment between pump and driver. Pipe strain will adversely effect the operation
of the pump resulting in physical injury and damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Flanged Connections:
Use only fasteners of the proper size and material.
WARNING
Replace all corroded fasteners.
WARNING
Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened and there are no missing fasten-
ers.
WARNING
Startup and Operation:
When installing in a potentially explosive environment, please ensure that the
motor is properly certified.
WARNING
Operating pump in reverse rotation may result in contact of metal parts, heat
generation, and breach of containment.
WARNING
Lock out driver power to prevent accidental start-up and physical injury.
WARNING
The impeller clearance setting procedure must be followed. Improperly setting
the clearance or not following any of the proper procedures can result in
sparks, unexpected heat generation and equipment damage.
WARNING
If using a cartridge mechanical seal, the centering clips must be installed and
set screws loosened prior to setting impeller clearance. Failure to do so could
result in sparks, heat generation, and mechanical seal damage.
WARNING
The coupling used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certi-
fied and must be constructed from a non-sparking material.
WARNING
Never operate a pump without coupling guard properly installed. Personal in-
jury will occur if pump is run without coupling guard.
