1 Introduction
Purpose of this manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide necessary information for:
•Installation
• Operation
• Maintenance
CAUTION:
Failure to observe the instructions contained in this manual could result in personal injury

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

1.2 Safety warnings
Specific to pumping equipment, significant risks bear reinforcement above and beyond normal safety
precautions.
1 Introduction
2 HSUL Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

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.
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.
1.3 Safety
Definitions

your equipment.
WARNING:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Example: Pump shall never be operated without coupling guard installed correctly.
CAUTION:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Example: Throttling flow from the suction side may cause cavitation and pump damage.
Electrical Hazard:
