FOREWORD
This manual provides instructions for the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of the ITT
Goulds Models 3196, CV 3196, HT 3196, LF 3196, NM 3196, 3198, and 3796. This manual
covers the standard product plus common options that are available. For special options,
supplemental instructions are supplied. This manual must be read and understood before
installation and start-up.
This instruction manual covers several different pump models that all have a common power
end. 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 ITT Goulds pumps
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.
ITT 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.
When installed in potentially explosive atmospheres, the instructions that follow the Ex symbol
must be followed. Personal injury and/or equipment damage may occur if these instructions are
not followed. If there is any question regarding these requirements or if the equipment is to be
modified, please contact a ITT Goulds representative before proceeding.
Warranty is valid only when genuine ITT Goulds parts are used.
Use of the equipment on a service other than stated in the order will nullify the warranty,
unless written approval is obtained in advance from ITT Goulds Pumps.
Supervision by an authorized ITT Goulds representative is recommended to assure proper
installation.
Additional manuals can be obtained by contacting your local ITT Goulds representative or by
