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
manual will minimize your risk of injury.
ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and
operated.
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 guidelines
outlined in this Pump Safety Manual and the Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) manual.
Current manuals are available at
www.gouldspumps.com/literature_ioms.html 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

S-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 contents of the pump
and eliminate the possibility of exposure, particularly if hazardous and/or toxic. Potential hazards include, but
are not limited to, high temperature, flammable, acidic, caustic, 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 forbidden. 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 www.gouldspumps.com/literature. S-3
SAFETY
DEFINITIONS
Throughout this manual the words WARNING, CAUTION, ELECTRICAL, and ATEX are used to indicate
where special operator attention is required.
Observe all Cautions and Warnings highlighted in this Pump Safety Manual and the IOM provided with
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
Indicates the possibility of electrical risks if directions are not followed.

Example:

Lock out driver power to prevent electric shock, accidental start-up, and physical injury.


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 an ITT
Goulds Pumps representative before proceeding.
Example:

Improper impeller adjustment could cause contact between the rotating and stationary
parts, resulting in a spark and heat generation.
