INTRODUCTION
Goulds Water Technology High Temperature 3885 Series
Effluent pumps are recommended for use in High Temperature applications up to 200ºF. The High Temperature 3885 Pump handles ¾” solids . Common applications include boiler blow down and High Temperature
condensate. Pump should be operated with a High
Temperature float switch sold separately.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL
INJURY OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ
AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN
MANUAL AND ON PUMP.
THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT
AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.
This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
When you see this symbol on the pump
or in the manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert
to the potential for personal injury or
property damage.
Warns of hazards that WILL cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage.
Warns of hazards that CAN cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage.
Warns of hazards that CAN cause personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.
All electrical work must be performed
by a qualified technician. Always follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your local
electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and
OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s
installation instructions may result in electrical shock, fire
hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equipment,
provide unsatisfactory performance, and may void manufacturer’s warranty.
Standard units are not designed for use in
swimming pools, open bodies of water,
hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. These
fluids and gases may be present in containment areas.
Tank or wetwell must be vented per local codes.
Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, Division 1
are allowable in hazardous liquids and where flammable
gases may exist. See specific pump catalog bulletins or
pump nameplate for all agency Listings.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
before installing or servicing any electrical
equipment. Many pumps are equipped with automatic
thermal overload protection which may allow an overheated pump to restart unexpectedly.
Do not use pump flammalde or explo-
sive liquids. Pump is for water only.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier
immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate
Amps, Voltage, Phase and HP ratings match your control
panel and power supply.
This pump is oil-filled. If there are any signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an extended period
check the oil level in the motor dome and the seal housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on
top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover
the motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion!

WARNING

WARNING
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the
unit on its side with the fill plug at 12 o’clock. Remove
the plug. The oil should be within ½” (13mm) of the top.
If low, refill with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the
plug.
Oil is available in 5 gallon cans through our distributors.
You can also source oil locally at motor repair shops.
Typical oil brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis
932, Texaco Regal R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil
DTE Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assemblies. Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs., cable
supplied is for high temp use.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (voltage/phase supply).
Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the
pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix
it to the control panel when finished with the installation.
FOR ALL SES PUMP INSTALLATIONS
LIFTING OF PUMP
DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable attached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical
cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL
OR LIFT-OUT SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system or on a
lift-out adapter to facilitate installation and removal for inspection and/or service. Most codes do not allow personnel
to enter a wetwell without the correct protective equipment
and training. Guide rails are designed to allow easy removal
of the pump without the need for entry into the wetwell
or need to disturb piping. The guide rail or lift-out adapter
should locate the pump opposite the influent opening preventing stagnate areas where solids can settle. The basin or
pit must be capable of supporting the weight of the pump
and guide rail. The pit floor must be flat.
NOTICE: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE
PROVIDED WITH THE GUIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY.
PIPING
Discharge piping should be no smaller than the pump
discharge diameter and kept as short as possible, avoiding unnecessary fittings to minimize friction losses. Piping
should be rated for high temperatures if used in high
temperature applications.
Install an adequately sized check valve matched to the
solids handling capability of the pump to prevent fluid
backflow. Backflow can allow the pump to “turbine”
4
backwards and may cause premature seal and/or bearing
wear. If the pump is turning backwards when it is called
on to start the increased torque may cause damage to the
pump motor and/or motor shaft and some single-phase
pumps may actually run backwards.
Install an adequately sized gate valve AFTER the check
valve for pump, plumbing and check valve maintenance.
Important – Before pump installation. Drill a 3⁄16”
(4.8mm) relief hole in the discharge pipe. It should be
located within the wetwell, 2” (51mm) above the pump
discharge but below the check valve. The relief hole allows any air to escape from the casing. Allowing liquid
into the casing will insure that the pump can start when
the liquid level rises. Unless a relief hole is provided, a
bottom intake pump could “air lock” and will not pump
water even though the impeller turns.
All piping must be adequately supported, so as not to
impart any piping strain or loads on the pump.
The pit access cover must be of sufficient size to allow for
inspection, maintenance and crane or hoist service.
WIRING AND GROUNDING
Important notice: Read Safety Instructions before
proceeding with any wiring.
Use only stranded copper wire to pump/motor and
ground. The ground wire must be at least as large
as the power supply wires. Wires should be color
coded for ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.
Install wire and ground according to the National
Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian Electrical
Code, as well as all local, state and provincial codes.
Install an all leg disconnect switch where required
by code.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power before
performing any service or installation.
The electrical supply voltage and phase must match
all equipment requirements. Incorrect voltage or
phase can cause fire, motor and control damage,
and voids the warranty.
All splices must be waterproof. If using splice kits
follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Select the correct type and NEMA grade
junction box for the application and location. The junction box must insure dry,
safe wiring connections.
Seal all controls from gases present which
may damage electrical components.
FAILURE TO PERMANENTLY
GROUND THE PUMP, MOTOR AND
CONTROLS BEFORE CONNECTING
TO POWER CAN CAUSE SHOCK,
BURNS OR DEATH.
