Introduction
Description
This manual provides instructions for the Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the
Goulds 1GA/2GA pumps.
Requirement
This manual must be read and understood before installation and start-up. Goulds shall not
be liable for physical injury, damage or delays caused by a failure to observe the instructions
for installation, operation and maintenance contained in this manual.
Content
This instruction manual covers several different pump models that all have similar power
end configurations. Most assembly, disassembly and inspection procedures are the same for
all the pumps. However, where there are differences, they are called out separately within
the manual. The design, materials and workmanship incorporated in the construction of
Goulds Water Technology makes them capable of giving long, trouble free service. The
life and satisfactory service of any mechanical unit, however, is enhanced and extended
by correct application, proper installation, periodic inspection, condition monitoring
and careful maintenance. This instruction manual was prepared to assist operators in
understanding the construction and the correct methods of installing, operating and
maintaining these pumps.
