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 hazard o us. An y press ure vessel can explode, rupture, or discharge its contents if sufficiently ove r press u r i zed causi n g deat h, 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.

Receiving:

Assembled pumping units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or 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.

Alignment:

WARNING

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.

S-4

WARNING

CAUTION

General Precautions

Before beginning any alignment procedure, make sure driver power is locked out.



Failure to lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.

Piping:

Never draw piping into place by forcing at the flan ged con necti on s of t he pump. This may impose dangerous strains on the unit and cause misalignment between



pump and driver. Pipe strain will adversely effect the operation of the pump resulting in physical injury and damage to the equipment.

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

Flanged Connections:

Use only fasteners of the proper size and material. Replace all corroded fasteners.

Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened and there are no missing fasteners.

Startup and Operation:

When installing in a potentially explosive environment, please ensure that the



motor is properly certified. Operating pump in reverse rotation may result in contact of metal parts, heat



generation, and breach of containment. Lock out driver power to prevent accidental start-up and physical injury.



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. 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. The coupling used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certified



and must be constructed from a non-sparking material. Never operate a pump without coupling guard properly installed. Personal injury

will occur if pump is run without coupling guard. Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so may result in excess



heat generation, sparks, and / or premature failure. The mechanical seal used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly

certified. Prior to start up, ensure all points of potential leakage of process fluid to



the work environment are closed. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. Running a

mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal damage and must be



avoided. Physical injury can occur if mechanical seal fails. Never attempt to replace packing until the driver is properly locked out and the

coupling spacer is removed.

WARNING

S-5

Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX classified environment.



DO NOT operate pump below minimum rated flows or with suction and/or discharge valve closed. These conditions may create an explosive hazard due to



vaporization of pumpage and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical injury.

WARNING

CAUTION



General Precautions

Ensure pump is isolated from system and pressure is relieved before disassembling pump, removing plu gs, ope ni n g vent or drain valves, or disconnecting piping.

Shutdown, Disassembly, and Reassembly:

Pump components can be heavy. Proper methods of lifting must be employed to avoid physical injury and/or equipment damage. Steel toed shoes must be worn at all times.

The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Observe proper decontamination procedures. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn. Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury. Pumpage must be handled and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regulations.

Operator must be aware of pumpage and safety precautions to prevent physical injury.

Lock out driver power to prevent accidental startup and physical injury. Allow all system and pump components to cool before handling them to prevent

physical injury. If pump is a Model NM3171, NM3196, 3198, 3298, V3298, SP3298, 4150, 4550,

or 3107, there may be a risk of static electric discharge from plastic parts that are not properly grounded. If pumped fluid is non-conductive, pump should be drained and flushed with a conductive fluid under conditions that will not allow for a spark to be released to the atmosphere.

Never apply heat to remove an impeller. The use of heat may cause an explosion due to trapped fluid, resulting in severe physical injury and property damage.

Wear heavy work gloves when handling impellers as sharp edges may cause physical injury.

Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing heater. Bearings will get hot and can cause physical injury.

NAMEPLATE INFORMATION

Every pump has a Goulds Pumps nameplate that provides information about the pump. The nameplate is located on the pump casing.

Special tags which provide additional information (mechanical seal data, etc.) and special tagging required by customers are located on the pump casing or on the bearing frame.

The standard nameplate (Fig. 1) provides information about the pump size, type, serial number, rated head, capacity, speed, impeller diameter, model number, and maximum field hydrostatic test pressure.

The Identification No. is a number which the end user of the pump requests to be put on the nameplate to identify the pump in his operation.

The year indicates the year in which the pump was built.

Rating and hydrostatic test pressure are expressed in English units. Note the format of pump size: Discharge x Suction - Nominal Impeller Diameter in inches, for example, 24x24-26.

The frame plate provides information concerning the bearings and their lubrication. The inboard and outboard bearing numbers refer to the bearing manufacturer’s numbers.

When ordering spare parts you will need to identify pump model, size, serial number, and the catalog number of required parts. Pump information can be taken from the Goulds Pumps nameplate. Catalog numbers can be found in this manual.

RECEIVING THE PUMP

Check pump for shortages and damage immediately upon arrival. Prompt reporting to the carrier’s agent with notations made on the freight bill, will expedite satisfactory adjustment by the carrier.

Horizontal pumps and drivers are normally shipped from the factory mounted on a baseplate and painted with primer and one finish coat. Couplings may either be completely assembled or have the coupling hubs mounted on the shafts and the connecting members removed. When the connecting members are removed, they will be packaged in a separate container and shipped with the pump or attached to the baseplate.

LIFTING THE PUMP

The following instructions are for the safe lifting of your pump.

The unit should be unloaded and handled by lifting equally at four or more points on the baseplate. The lugs on the upper half casing are designed for lifting the upper half casing only.

HORIZONTAL

Bare Pump

1. Using a nylon sling, chain, or wire rope, hitch around both bearing housings. (See Fig. 2)

Shafts are in alignment when unit is shipped; however, due to shipping, the pumps may arrive misaligned and, therefore, alignment must be established during installation. Goulds Pumps has determined that proper and correct alignment can only be made by accepted erection practices. Refer to the following paragraphs on “Foundation,” “Baseplate Setting,” “Grouting Procedure,” “Alignment Procedure,” and “Doweling.”
