Goulds Pumps 3410 - IOM - Manual (Page 19)

VERTICAL
Half Pedestal
1. Place nylon sling chain or wire rope around both
flanges. Use a latch hook or standard shackle and end
loops.
Be sure the lifting equipment is of sufficient length to
keep the lift angle less than 30° from the vertical. (See
Fig. 7)
Full Pedestal
2. Install eyebolts in the three holes provided at the top of the
support, being sure to tighten securely. Attach chain or wire
rope using latch hook or standard shackle and end loop.
Be sure to use shoulder eyebolts that are manufactured per
ANSI B18.15 and sized to fit the holes provided.
Be sure lifting equipment is of sufficient length to
keep the lift angle less than 30° from the vertical.

STORAGE
The following storage procedures apply to the pump only.
Other accessories such as motors, steam turbines, gears,
etc., must be handled per the respective manufacturer’s
recommendations.
TEMPORARY
Temporary storage is considered one month or less.
If the pump is not to be installed and operated soon after
arrival, store it in a clean, dry place having slow, moderate
changes in ambient temperature. Rotate the shaft
periodically to coat the bearings with lubricant and to
retard oxidation, corrosion, and to reduce the possibility of
false brinelling of the bearings. Shaft extensions and other
exposed machine surfaces should be coated with an easily
removable rust preventative such as Ashland Oil Tectyl
No. 502C.
For oil lubricated bearings, fill the frame completely with
oil. Before putting equipment into operation, drain the oil
and refill to proper level.
LONG TERM
Storage longer than one month is considered long term
storage. Follow the same procedure for temporary storage
with the following addition. Add one half ounce of a
corrosion inhibiting concentrated oil such as Cortec Corp.
VCI-329 (for both grease and oil lubricated bearings). Seal
all vents and apply a water proof tape around the oil seals
in the bearing frame. Remember for oil lubricated bearings
to drain the oil from the frame and refill to the proper level
before running pump.
