2.1 Receiving the pump
WARNING:
Only trained personnel should do lifting. Pumps and motors often have integral lifting eyes or
eye bolts. These are intended for use in lifting the individual pieces of equipment only. Failure
to properly lift equipment could result in serious physical injury or damage to equipment.
WARNING:
Keep hands and feet from under the unit during these steps. If slings slip and the unit tips over,
severe personal injury or death may result.
Inspect the pump as soon as it is received. Carefully check that everything is in good order. Make notes
of damaged or missing items on the receipt and freight bill. File any claims with the transportation com-
pany as soon as possible.
2.1.1 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.
Long Term: (More than 6 months) Preservative treatment of bearings and machined surfaces will be re-
quired. Rotate shaft several times every 3 months. Refer to driver and coupling manufacturers for their
long term storage procedures. Store in a covered dry location.
NOTICE:
For pumps or back pull-out assemblies supplied with cartridge mechanical seals, the centering
tabs must be in place and tightened, and the set screw collar loosened. Failure to take these
steps could result in damage to the mechanical seal or shaft sleeve.
NOTICE:
Long term storage treatment can be purchased with the initial pump order or can be applied to
pumps already in the field that were not treated at the factory. This service can be supplied by
contacting your local Goulds sales representative.
2.1.2 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 bearing frame. Base-plate
mounted units are moved with slings under the pump casing and driver. Refer to Figs. 2-4 for examples
of proper lifting techniques.
