1 Introduction and Safety
1.1 Important Safety Notice
To: Our Valued Customers:
User safety is a major focus in the design of our products. Following the precautions outlined in this man-
ual will minimize your risk of injury.
ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and operat-
ed.
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. Understanding and adhering to these safety warnings is mandatory to ensure
personnel, property, and/or the environment will not be harmed. Adherence to these warnings alone,
however, is not sufficient — it is anticipated that the end user will also comply with industry and corporate
safety standards. Identifying and eliminating unsafe installation, operating and maintenance practices is
the responsibility of all individuals involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of industrial
equipment.
Please take the time to review and understand the safe installation, operation, and maintenance guide-
lines outlined in this Pump Safety Manual and the Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) man-
ual. Current manuals are available at https://www.gouldspumps.com/en-US/Tools-and-Resources/Litera-
ture/ or by contacting your nearest Goulds Pumps sales representative.
These manuals must be read and understood before installation and start-up.
For additional information, contact your nearest Goulds Pumps sales representative or visit our Web site
at https://www.gouldspumps.com
1.2 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 hazardous. Any pressure vessel
can explode, rupture, or discharge its contents if sufficiently over pressurized causing death,
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 con-
tents of the pump and eliminate the possibility of exposure, particularly if hazardous and/or tox-
ic. Potential hazards include, but are not limited to, high temperature, flammable, acidic, caus-
tic, explosive, and other risks.
1 Introduction and Safety
3196CC Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions 3

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 for-
bidden. 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 http://www.gouldspumps.com/literature.

be contained by the pump including high temperature, flammable, acidic, caustic, explosive,
and other risks. Operators and maintenance personnel must realize this and follow safety
measures. 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.
Table 1: General Precautions
WARNING NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER. It may explode due to trap-
ped liquid.
WARNING NEVER use heat to disassemble pump due to risk of explosion from tapped
liquid.
WARNING NEVER operate pump without coupling guard correctly installed.
WARNING NEVER run pump below recommended minimum flow when dry, or without
prime.
WARNING ALWAYS lock out power to the driver before performing pump maintenance.

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.
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. Failure to lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
CAUTION Piping:
Never draw piping into place by forcing at the flanged connections of the
pump. This may impose dangerous strains on the unit and cause misalign-
ment between pump and driver. Pipe strain will adversely effect the operation
of the pump resulting in physical injury and damage to the equipment.
WARNING Flanged Connections:
Use only fasteners of the proper size and material.
WARNING Replace all corroded fasteners.
WARNING Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened and there are no missing fasten-
ers.
WARNING Startup and Operation:
When installing in a potentially explosive environment, please ensure that the
motor is properly certified.
WARNING Operating pump in reverse rotation may result in contact of metal parts, heat
generation, and breach of containment.
WARNING Lock out driver power to prevent accidental start-up and physical injury.
WARNING 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.
WARNING 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.
WARNING The coupling used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certi-
fied and must be constructed from a non-sparking material.
WARNING Never operate a pump without coupling guard properly installed. Personal in-
jury will occur if pump is run without coupling guard.
1.4 General precautions
6 3196CC Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions

WARNING Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so may result in ex-
cess heat generation, sparks, and / or premature failure.
CAUTION The mechanical seal used in an ATEX classified environment must be proper-
ly certified. Prior to start up, ensure all points of potential leakage of process
fluid to the work environment are closed.
CAUTION 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.
WARNING Never attempt to replace packing until the driver is properly locked out and the
coupling spacer is removed.
WARNING Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX classified environment.
WARNING DO NOT operate pump below minimum rated flows or with suction and/or dis-
charge valve closed. These conditions may create an explosive hazard due to
vaporization of pumpage and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical in-
jury
WARNING Ensure pump is isolated from system and pressure is relieved before disas-
sembling pump, removing plugs, opening vent or drain valves, or disconnect-
ing piping.
WARNING 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.
WARNING The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Observe proper decon-
tamination procedures. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn.
Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury. Pumpage must be han-
dled and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regula-
tions.
WARNING Operator must be aware of pumpage and safety precautions to prevent physi-
cal injury.
WARNING Lock out driver power to prevent accidental startup and physical injury.
CAUTION Allow all system and pump components to cool before handling them to pre-
vent physical injury.
CAUTION 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.
WARNING Never apply heat to remove an impeller. The use of heat may cause an explo-
sion due to trapped fluid, resulting in severe physical injury and property dam-
age.
CAUTION Wear heavy work gloves when handling impellers as sharp edges may cause
physical injury.
CAUTION Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing heater. Bearings will get hot and
can cause physical injury.
1.4 General precautions
3196CC Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions 7

WARNING Noise:
Sound pressure levels may exceed 80 dbA in operating process plants. Clear
visual warnings or other indicators should be available to those entering an
area with unsafe noise levels. Personnel should wear appropriate hearing pro-
tection when working on or around any equipment, including pumps. Consider
limiting personnel’s exposure time to noise or, where possible, enclosing
equipment to reduce noise. Local law may provide specific guidance regard-
ing exposure of personnel to noise and when noise exposure reduction is re-
quired.
WARNING Temperature:
Equipment and piping surfaces may exceed 130ºF (54ºC) in operating proc-
ess plants. Clear visual warnings or other indicators should alert personnel to
surfaces that may reach a potentially unsafe temperature. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Allow pumps operating at a high temperature to cool sufficiently be-
fore performing maintenance. If touching a hot surface cannot be avoided,
personnel should wear appropriate gloves, clothing, and other protective gear
as necessary. Local law may provide specific guidance regarding exposure of
personnel to unsafe temperatures.
1.5 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use
Special care must be taken in potentially explosive environments to ensure that the equipment is proper-
ly maintained. This includes but is not limited to:
Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical equipment
installed in Europe. ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the standards
of equipment and protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance of the ATEX re-
quirements is not limited to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to equipment installed in any poten-
tially explosive atmosphere.
Guidelines for compliance
Compliance is fulfilled only when you operate the unit within its intended use. Do not change the condi-
tions of the service without the approval of an ITT representative. When you install or maintain explosion
proof products, always comply with the directive and applicable standards (for example, IEC/EN
60079-14).
1. Monitoring the and liquid end temperature.
2. Maintaining proper bearing lubrication.
3. Ensuring that the pump is operated in the intended hydraulic range.
The ATEX conformance is only applicable when the pump unit is operated within its intended use. Oper-
ating, installing or maintaining the pump unit in any way that is not covered in the Instruction, Operation,
and Maintenance manual (IOM) can cause serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. This in-
cludes any modification to the equipment or use of parts not provided by ITT Goulds Pumps. If there is
any question regarding the intended use of the equipment, please contact an ITT Goulds representative
before proceeding.
Current IOMs are available at https://www.gouldspumps.com/en-US/Tools-and-Resources/Literature/

3 Installation
3.1 Baseplate inspection
1. Remove all equipment.
2. Completely clean the underside of baseplate. It is sometimes necessary to coat the underside of the
baseplate with an epoxy primer. This may have been purchased as an option.
3. Remove the rust preventative solution from the machined pads with an appropriate solution.
3.2 Site / foundation
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid and have adequate space for operation, mainte-
nance, and inspection.
Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a concrete foundation, which has been poured on a
solid footing. The foundation must be able to absorb
any vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support for the pumping unit.
The location and size of the foundation bolts are shown on the outline assembly drawing provided with
the pump data package.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type Figure 6: Sleeve type foundation bolts on page 14
and J type Figure 7: J type foundation bolts on page 15. Both designs permit movement for final bolt
adjustment.
1. Inspect foundation for dust, dirt, oil, chips, water, etc. and remove any contaminants. Do not use
oil-based cleaners as grout will not bond to it.
Figure 6: Sleeve type foundation bolts

3.3 Level baseplate
3.3.1 Fabricated steel
1. Place two sets of wedges or shims on the foundation, one set on each side of every foundation bolt
(Fig. 8 & 9). The wedges should extend 20mm | .75 in. to 40mm | 1.50 in. above foundation, to al-
low for adequate grouting. This will provide even support for the baseplate once it is grouted.
2. Remove water and/or debris from anchor bolt holes/sleeves prior to grouting. If the sleeve type
bolts are being used, fill the sleeves with packing or rags to prevent grout from entering.
Figure 8:
3. Carefully lower baseplate onto foundation bolts.
4. Level baseplate to within 3.2mm | .125 in. over length of the baseplate and to within 1.5mm | .088
in. over the width of the base by adjusting wedges.
5. A level should be placed across the pump mounting pads and the motor mounting pads.
6. Hand tighten the bolts.
