ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and operat- 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.
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.
Personal injuries will result if procedures outlined in this manual are not followed. ITT Goulds Pumps will not accept responsibility for physical injury, damage or delays caused by a failure to observe the instructions in this manual and the IOM provided with your equip- ment.

1.4 General precautions WARNING Alignment: 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. WARNING Before beginning any alignment procedure, make sure driver power is locked out. Fail- ure to lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
1.5 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use CAUTION Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. Running a mechani- cal seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal damage and must be avoided. Physical injury can occur if mechanical seal fails. WARNING Never attempt to replace packing until the driver is properly locked out and the coupling spacer is removed.

4.2 Piping checklists The data for forces and torques are only valid for static piping loads. All values for forces and torques refer to standard materials EN-GJS400-18LT and 1.4408. Figure 4: Permitted Nozzle loads and torques at pump Nozzle Suction nozzle Discharge nozzle ∅DN ∅DN...
4.2 Piping checklists 4.2.5 Connection of Piping to the Pump NOTICE: The pump must not be used as fixed point for the piping. The permitted piping loads must not be exceeded, refer to . Suction and discharge pipe • The pipes must be of a size and design that liquid can flow freely into the pump and that the pump functions without problems.
4.2 Piping checklists • When emptying the pipe after the pressure test, make sure that the pump is treated properly (dan- ger of rust and problems when starting up). • In the case of pumps with stuffing boxes, replace packing after pressure test (packing may be over- compressed and thus no longer suitable for use).

6 Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Maintenance schedule Maintenance inspections A maintenance schedule includes these types of inspections: • Routine maintenance • Routine inspections • Three-month inspections • Annual inspections Shorten the inspection intervals appropriately if the pumped fluid is abrasive or corrosive or if the envi- ronment is classified as potentially explosive.
6.2 Mechanical seals 6.2 Mechanical seals NOTICE: Before opening the pump, it is essential that you note Safety Regulations and Dismantling and repair of pump. If the liquid being handled leaks out at the mechanical seal, it is damaged and must be replaced. Replacement of the mechanical seal according to accompanying "Mounting Instructions for Shaft seal- ing".
6.5 Coupling Kinematic viscosity at 40°C | 104°F 46 ±4 mm2/s Flash point (acc. to Cleveland) +175°C | +347°F Setting point (Pourpoint) -15°C | 5°F Application temperature * higher than permitted bearing tempera- ture * For ambient temperatures under -10°C | 14°F another suitable type of lubrication oil must be used. Request required.
6.6 Cleaning of pump Size ΔS [mm] NOTICE: If wear is heavy, it must be assumed that the motor is not properly aligned with the pump or that the distance between the coupling sections has changed. Replace worn elements and re- install or adjust coupling, as described in 4.2.6 Coupling on page 6.6 Cleaning of pump...
6.8 General remarks • Risk of serious personal injury from exposure to hazardous or toxic liquids. A small amount of liquid will be present in certain areas like the seal chamber upon disassembly. CAUTION: • Avoid injury. Worn pump components can have sharp edges. Wear appropriate gloves while handling these parts.
6.10 Removal of the Back Pull Out Assembly You will only need common tools. Before disassembly check if required parts are ready. Disassemble the pump only so far, as required for the replacement of the repair part. 6.10 Removal of the Back Pull Out Assembly The back pull out assembly consists of all pump parts except the volute casing (102V).
Page 39
6.11 Removal of Impeller For further dismounting, and for installation, the Back Pull Out Assembly should be placed in a vertical position. Prevent assembly from tipping! Loosen impeller nut (922) (right threaded) by fixing the rotor at the coupling end. Draw off the impeller (230) with two screw drivers or pry bars.
6.12 Remove the Shaft Sealing 6.12 Remove the Shaft Sealing Before you remove casing cover refer to Mounting Instructions for Shaft Sealing. Unfasten hexagonal nut (902.32) (not available on all pump sizes) and take casing cover (161) out of bearing bracket (344). 6.13 Removal of Bearing Remove coupling with a coupling puller (Figure 18: Coupling puller on page...
6.14 Preassembly inspections Remove the anti-friction bearing (320.51 and 320.52) from the shaft (210) using a hydraulic press or a bearing puller. 6.14 Preassembly inspections 6.14.1 Reconditioning After disassembly all parts must be cleaned and checked for wear carefully. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced by new parts (spare parts).
6.15 Reassembly clearance a worn max. 1,7 (mm) When the wear limits has been reached or exceeded, the worn parts must be replaced. For volute casings (102V) with a wear ring (502.11) and cover casings (161) with a wear ring (502.31) there are the following possibilities to restore the correct clearance: Renew impeller (230) and wear ring.
Page 43
6.15 Reassembly Push the flinger (507) onto the shaft (210) till it rests axially against the shoulder of the shaft. Be- tween flinger (507) and Bearing bracket lantern (344) there must remain a clearance of at least 0.7 mm | 0.03 in. If necessary you can use a driver for mounting.
