Page 11: Description
DESCRIPTION PUMP The Godiva GPl0/l0 Model is a single-stage, centrifugal pump powered by a’ Honda engine: The pump suction tube, volute, discharge valves, manifold and impeller are all manufactured from corrosion-resisting aluminium alloy, while the pump shaft is of stainless steel. The impeller is hydraulically-balanced to reduce end-thrust and pumpshaft-sealing is accomplished by a spring-loaded, self-adjusting, carbon-faced gland running against a silicon-carbon counterface. - Page 12 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Switches, gauges and controls fitted (See Fig. 1): Compound Gauge (1) ......Indicates vacuum in pump suction tube during priming. Pressure Gauge (2) ......Indicates pump unit water pressure. Throttle Control (3) ......Controls engine speed. START Button (4) ......Press –...
- Page 13 COOLING SYSTEM To enable normal operating temperatures to be maintained over extended running periods, a closed- circuit engine-cooling system is used. The system incorporates a heat exchanger, oil-cooler and header tank. Raw water is piped down from the volute through a strainer to the engine oil cooler, then on through the heat-exchanger tubes and returned to the suction tube.
- Page 14 DELIVERY VALVES Screw-Down DIN-Type By turning the handwheel counter-clockwise, the valve can be opened for the discharge of water. When the valve is open and no water is being discharged, the valve seal is held against the volute discharge port by a spring in the valve body. When the pump is priming, the valve seal acts as a non-return valve so that the prime is not lost.

Page 15: Preparing The Pump Unit For Running
PREPARING THE PUMP UNIT FOR RUNNING Check the following points BEFORE starting the engine: COOLING SYSTEM The heat exchanger and header tank are mounted at the R.H-side of the engine. Unscrew the filler cap of the header tank and, if necessary, add CLEAN water until the level is approximately 20mm below the bottom of the filler neck. - Page 16 FUEL TANK The fuel tank is mounted at the L.H.-side of the unit with a capacity of 14 litres. Check that a sufficient quantity of fuel is present for the anticipated requirements. No fuel tap is fitted due to the position of the fuel tank. Fuel is drawn from the tank by the engine fuel pump when the engine is running.

Page 18: Running The Engine
WARNING: TAKE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP CLEAR OF THE ROTATING MACHINERY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS. Always replace the rope in the compartment provided and then refit the cap. RUNNING THE ENGINE If the engine is started with the intention of running it only for a short period, it is important that it reaches its normal operating temperature before being switched off. -
Page 19: Hydrant Pumping
Priming Pump priming is accomplished using the following method: 1) Start the engine and open the throttle approximately 3/4 of its travel. 2) Pull the primer operating rod out to its limit - there is no need to use excessive force. 3) Move the throttle-setting to give maximum smooth running and watch the gauges. -
Page 20: Protection Against Frost
PROTECTION AGAINST FROST As a precautionary measure when frost is first anticipated, drain the pump-volute casing by tipping the whole unit towards the suction-end, or remove the drain plug situated at the base of the volute casing. Then open the drain valve located on the volute. Use an anti-freeze solution in the engine coolant system in the correct proportions stated for the particular brand recommended. -
Page 21: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE When the pump has been used to pump sea-water, contaminated or very dirty fresh water, flush it through thoroughly using FRESH, CLEAN water. EVERY 5 HOURS RUNNING TIME (OR WEEKLY) Oil Check Check the engine oil level. To do this, carry out the following procedure: 1) Stop the engine and withdraw the dipstick, wipe it, re-insert it and again withdraw it. - Page 22 FIRST MONTH or 20 HOURS then EVERY 200 HOURS RUNNING TIME OR EVERY 12 MONTHS Whichever is the sooner Drain the engine oil – this should be carried out while the engine is WARM: 1) Remove the drain plug (located on the side of the sump) and drain out the old oil. 2) Refit the sump plug securely and then refill the sump with fresh oil –...
