RECEIVING THE PUMP
Check pump for shortages and damage immediately upon
arrival. Prompt reporting to the carrier’s agent with
notations made on the freight bill, will expedite satisfactory
adjustment by the carrier.
Horizontal pumps and drivers are normally shipped from
the factory mounted on a baseplate and painted with primer
and one finish coat. Couplings may either be completely
assembled or have the coupling hubs mounted on the shafts
and the connecting members removed. When the
connecting members are removed, they will be packaged in
a separate container and shipped with the pump or attached
to the baseplate.
Shafts are in alignment when unit is shipped; however, due
to shipping, the pumps may arrive misaligned and,
therefore, alignment must be established during
installation. Goulds Pumps has determined that proper and
correct alignment can only be made by accepted erection
practices. Refer to the following paragraphs on
“Foundation,” “Baseplate Setting,” “Grouting Procedure,”
“Alignment Procedure,” and “Doweling.”
LIFTING THE PUMP
The following instructions are for the safe lifting of your pump.
The unit should be unloaded and handled by lifting equally
at four or more points on the baseplate. The lugs on the
upper half casing are designed for lifting the upper half
casing only.
