CAUTION
WARNING
You are now the owner of a Goulds pump. This pump
was carefully inspected and subjected to final tests before
releasing for shipment. In order to assure maximum
performance please follow the simple instructions in this
manual.
PUMPING OF VOLATILE PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
FOR THIS REASON, EXTREME CARE MUST BE
EXERCISED AND ALL OPERATING AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS STRICTLY ADHERED TO. FAILURE
TO DO THIS CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
APPLICATION: This pump is designed to pump petroleum products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel or gasoline
in well-ventilated areas that do not contain potentially
explosive fumes.
This equipment should be operated only by personnel
who have been thoroughly instructed as to the hazards
involved and who are familiar with the following operating and safety instructions.
OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use non-sparking tools when making pump connec-
tions.
2. Always securely connect the ground wire to a good
ground on the tank being filled, before operating the
pump.
3. Do not operate the engine while filling the pump
tank with its initial priming liquid.
4. Do not refill engine if running or hot.
5. Do not pump liquids other than water or petroleum
products.
6. Do not operate with leaky seal or piping, closed suc-
tion or discharge valve or with a fill plug removed.
7. Operate pump only with guard in place.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. If engine is hard to start, or runs rough, move unit to
a safe area and check out on water.
2. This engine must be maintained in original condition
throughout its use. Prior to each use, inspect the air
cleaner, spark arresting muffler, shielded spark plug,
shielded spark plug wire, and the enclosed run-stop
switch, to make certain that these are not worn or
damaged in any way.
3. Use only original replacement parts - this is critical
since each part was selected for its safety and high
quality.
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
1. APPLICATION: This pump is designed to pump
petroleum products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel or
gasoline in well-ventilated areas that do not contain
potentially explosive fumes. Primarily intended for
fuel transfer or refueling construction equipment at
remote open air sites where the lack of electricity
makes it impossible to use pumps driven by explosion-proof electric motors.
Pumping of volatile petroleum products can be haz-
ardous. For this reason, extreme care must be exercised and all operating and safety instructions strictly
adhered to.
2. As with all self-priming centrifugal pumps, the pump
tank must be initially filled with the liquid being
pumped. DO NOT run the engine while filling the
pump tank. Failure to follow this precaution could
result in a fire or explosion.
3. This pump is designed primarily for water and petroleum products use. Before pumping other liquids,
carefully read the special note below.
4. Do not subject the pump to a pressure in excess of 75
psi.
5. Should the fluid temperature rise more than 50ºF.
ambient, expansion joints must be installed on both
the suction and discharge ports to relieve any stress
on the pump casing.
6. No modifications, additions or deletions should be
made to the pump.
7. Prime movers powering the pumps may operate
at high temperatures. Keep hands off mufflers and
manifolds to avoid burns.
8. In systems where shock wave pressures may be generated, protective devices (check valve/gate valve, etc.)
must be installed on discharge line to prevent shock
wave pressures from entering casing. A discharge
check valve is required when operating against high
static heads.
9. Do not refill engine fuel tank while power unit is
running or while hot. Prevent splashing of gasoline or
other fuel while filling supply tank.
10. Do not use in a combustible atmosphere.
11. Make daily checks of the tightness of suction and
discharge pipe, drain, filler plug and pump gaskets.
Check tightness of gasoline tank filler cap each time
tank is filled. Operation should not proceed until all
of the above items have been checked and are tight.
The performance of Goulds Water Tech-
nology is based upon clear, cold, fresh water with suction conditions as shown on the performance
curve. If used to pump other liquids, pump performance
may differ from rated performance based on the different specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, etc. of the
liquid being pumped. However, a standard pump may
not be safe for pumping all types of liquids, such as toxic,
volatile or chemical liquids, or liquids under extreme
temperatures or pressures. Please consult your Goulds
Water Technology catalog as well as local codes and general references to determine the appropriate pumps for
your particular application. Since it is impossible for us
to anticipate every application of a Goulds pump, if you
plan to use the pump for other than a water or petroleum
product application, consult Goulds Water Technology
beforehand to determine whether such application may
be proper or safe under the circumstances. Failure to do
so could result in property damage or personal harm.
