Goulds Pumps 3600 - IOM - Manual (Page 53)

Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
1. Drill two holes through the pump foot and pump pedestal. Position each hole between the
hold-down bolt and the end of the pump foot at the coupling end on both sides.
2. Ream the holes with a number 7 taper pin reamer to the proper fit with the taper dowel pins.
Insert the pins deep enough so that only the threaded portions are exposed when the pins
are fully seated.
3. Seat the taper pins firmly in the holes with a hardwood block or soft-faced hammer.
If you should ever need to remove the dowel pins, tighten the hex nuts provided on the pins. If
the pins are not seated deeply enough, put a spacer under the hex nuts in order to lift the pins
free when the hex nuts are tightened.
NOTICE:
Always remove the dowel pins before removing the casing. Failure to do so can result in casing
damage.

1. Remove the hold-down bolts from the pump feet that are furthest from the coupling.

centerline, parallel with the pump axis.
