 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

To: Our Valued Customers

User safety is a major focus in the design of our products. Following the precautions outlined in this
manual will minimize your risk of injury.

ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and
operated.

Safe installation, operation, and maintenance of ITT Goulds Pumps equipment are an essential end user
responsibility. This Pump Safety Manual identifies specific safety risks that must be considered at all
times during product life. Understanding and adhering to these safety warnings is mandatory to ensure
personnel, property, and/or the environment will not be harmed. Adherence to these warnings alone,
however, is not sufficient — it is anticipated that the end user will also comply with industry and corporate
safety standards. Identifying and eliminating unsafe installation, operating and maintenance practices is
the responsibility of all individuals involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of industrial
equipment.

Please take the time to review and understand the safe installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines
outlined in this Pump Safety Manual and the Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) manual.
Current manuals are available at www.gouldspumps.com/literature_ioms.html or by contacting
your nearest Goulds Pumps sales representative.

These manuals must be read and understood before installation and start-up.

For additional information, contact your nearest Goulds Pumps sales representative or visit our Web site at

 SAFETY WARNINGS
Specific to pumping equipment, significant risks bear reinforcement above and beyond normal safety precautions.

WARNING
A pump is a pressure vessel with rotating parts that can be hazardous. Any pressure vessel can explode,
rupture, or discharge its contents if sufficiently over pressurized causing death, personal injury, property
damage, and/or damage to the environment. All necessary measures must be taken to ensure over
pressurization does not occur.

WARNING
Operation of any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge must be avoided in all cases.
Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause superheating of enclosed pumpage and
result in a violent explosion. All necessary measures must be taken by the end user to ensure this condition is
avoided.

WARNING
The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Care must be taken to identify the contents of the pump
and eliminate the possibility of exposure, particularly if hazardous and/or toxic. Potential hazards include, but
are not limited to, high temperature, flammable, acidic, caustic, explosive, and other risks.

WARNING
Pumping equipment Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance manuals clearly identify accepted methods for
disassembling pumping units. These methods must be adhered to. Specifically, applying heat to impellers
and/or impeller retaining devices to aid in their removal is strictly forbidden. Trapped liquid can rapidly
expand and result in a violent explosion and injury.

ITT Goulds Pumps will not accept responsibility for physical injury, damage, or delays caused by a failure to
observe the instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance contained in this Pump Safety Manual or the
current IOM available at www.gouldspumps.com/literature.

S-2

or conditions of high suction lift. Pumps and subbases can be designed to carry loads due to
thermal expansion.
3. Flow regulating valves must not be located on suction
side of the pump.

DISCHARGE PIPING
1. Excessive friction losses result in insufficient head.
2. A check valve should be located in the discharge line
to protect the pump from reverse flow and excessive
pressure.

FOUNDATION
The foundation must be a permanent, rigid support for the
subbase or floorplate. It should be an industrially accepted
design capable of absorbing excessive vibration.
Foundations are typically concrete with anchor bolts cast in
to secure the pump.

An anchor bolt assembly consists of a bolt and washer with

a sleeve 2-½ times the diameter of the bolt. When the
assembly is cast in concrete, the washer prevents the sleeve
and bolt from being pulled. The sleeve I.D. provides an
adjustment allowance around the bolt. A lug is generally
welded on the bolt to prevent rotation when tightening.
Anchor bolts should be located in the concrete by a
template dimensioned from the pump installation drawing.
The top of the sleeve should be temporarily sealed with
waste material to prevent concrete from entering during the
concrete pouring operation. A typical anchor bolt
arrangement is shown in Figure W1.

INSTALLING PUMP ON
FOUNDATION
If subbases or floorplates were directly anchored to poured
concrete foundations, surface irregularities would cause
distortion. Rectangular metal blocks and shims, or metal
wedges having a small taper, are placed beside each anchor
bolt to level the subbase or floorplate (see Fig. W2 and Fig.
W3 on the following page). The anchor bolts are then
drawn tight enough to maintain position and level.

To secure the shims in place and provide a level surface for

the base or plate, grout is poured over the concrete
foundation. A ¾" to 1-½" grout allowance is recommended.
When subbases have cavities, grout holes are provided to
fill all spaces. After the grout has hardened, permanently
tighten the anchor bolts.

14 JC IOM 5/08
When the grout has hardened and the anchor bolts are
permanently secured, recheck level.
NOTE: On large subbases/floorplates, shimming is
recommended to be at 24" spacing.

procedures.

SHAFT ALIGNMENT OF
HORIZONTAL PUMP AND DRIVER
Pumps and drivers that are received from the factory with
both machines mounted on a common subbase were
accurately aligned before shipment. Because all subbases
are, to some extent, flexible, factory alignment may be
altered during shipment and handling. After the subbase
has been leveled, grouted, and secured, check the
alignment. Alignment should be rechecked after the pump
is fully installed and before startup. Refer to the Alignment
Procedure.

Disconnect coupling halves before proceeding with

alignment. Check for angular and parallel alignment in the

on Foundation. NOTE: Care must be taken to have the straight edge
parallel to the axis of the shafts (Fig. W8).
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
A check for angular alignment is made by inserting the taper
gauge or feelers at four points between the coupling faces
and comparing the distance between the faces at four points

JC IOM 5/08 15
 With this method, accurate alignment of shaft centers can
be obtained even where faces or outside diameters of the
coupling halves are not square or concentric with the bores,
provided all measurements for angular alignment are made
between the same two points on the faces, and all
measurements for parallel alignment are made between the
same two points on the outside diameters. Gross deviations
in squareness or concentricity, however, may cause
problems due to coupling unbalance or abnormal coupling
wear and may need to be corrected for reasons other than
accomplishment of shaft alignment.

outlined above. However, the coupling covers must be

of shims under the motor mounting feet. After each change,
it is necessary to recheck the alignment of the coupling
halves. Adjustment in one direction may disturb
adjustments already made in another direction. It should not
be necessary to adjust the shims under the pump.
The permissible amount of misalignment will vary with the
type of pump and driver. The manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions should be obtained and followed.

When the driver is to be mounted on the subbase in the

field, it is necessary to place the subbase with pump on the
foundation to level the pump shaft, to check the coupling
faces, the suction and discharge flanges for horizontal or
vertical position, and to make any necessary corrective
adjustments.

When the units are lined up cold, it may be necessary to

make an allowance for the vertical rise of the driver and/or
pump caused by heating. Goulds Pumps recommendations
should be obtained and followed.

PREPARATION FOR START-UP

STUFFING BOXES
In the conventional stuffing box, mechanical seals and
packing seal between the stationary and rotating
components of the pump. Generally, a clear liquid such as
water is forced through the stuffing box to lubricate the
sealing elements. The lubricating liquid pressure must
exceed the pressure of the pumpage at the stuffing box. For 4
end suction pumps, lubricating liquid pressure should be
10-15 PSIG higher than the discharge pressure. For side
and double suction pumps, lubricating liquid pressure
should be 10-15 PSIG higher than the suction pressure.
NOTE: To determine suction or discharge pressure,
use gauge pressure only.
The piping supplying the lubrication liquid should be fitted
tightly to prevent air from entering. On suction lifts, a small
quantity of air entering the pump at this point may result in
loss of suction. PACKING PROCEDURE

GENERAL COMMENTS
A routine maintenance program can extend the life of your pump. Well maintenanced equipment will last longer and
require fewer repairs. It is recommended maintenance records be kept – this will help pinpoint potential causes of
problems.

The Preventive Maintenance section must be adhered to in order to keep the applicable ATEX classification of the
equipment. Failure to follow these procedures will void the ATEX classification for the equipment.
