• Reach into pump suction opening and rotate impeller slightlyuntil the shaft will engage the coupling. Verify that there isno gap between bracket and flywheel housing faces. Rotatepump as necessary to align bracket holes with engine. Installcapscrews and bolt pump end securely to engine.NOTE: If any interference, or incompatibility of parts isdetected during installation, DO NOT proceed withassembly. Direct the problem to your nearest GouldsPumps distributor.• Mount the pump to the engine using the bolts and lockwashersprovided, torqued as follows in a crossing sequence:SAE #2, #3, #4, #5 – 20 lbs.-ft. (27 N . m)SAE #1 – 50 lbs.-ft.

(3 m) and liquid temperaturesover 120° F (49° C), consult pump performance curve fornet positive suction head required (NPSH R ).• If a pipe size larger than pump suction is required, an eccentricpipe reducer, with the straight side up, MUST beinstalled at the pump suction.• If pump is installed below the liquid source, install a gatevalve in the suction for pump inspection and maintenance.NOTICE: DO NOT USE THE GATE VALVE TOTHROTTLE PUMP. THIS MAY CAUSE LOSSOF PRIME, EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURESAND DAMAGE TO PUMP, VOIDINGWARRANTY.• If the pump is installed above the liquid source, the followingMUST be provided:• To avoid air pockets, no part of the piping should be abovethe pump suction connection.• Slope the piping upward from liquid source.• Use a foot valve or check valve ONLY if necessary forpriming or to hold prime during intermittent duty.• The suction strainer or suction bell MUST be at least3 times the suction pipe diameter area.• Insure that the size and minimum submergence over suctioninlet is sufficient to prevent air from entering pumpthrough a suction vortex. See Figures 8 through 11.Figure 7• Tighten all hold-down bolts before checking alignment.• If realignment is necessary, always move the motor. Shimas required.• Parallel misalignment, shafts with axis parallel but notconcentric. Place dial indicator on one hub and rotate thishub 360° while taking readings on the outside diameter ofthe other hub. Parallel alignment is achieved when reading is0.010" (0.254 mm) TIR, or less.• Angular misalignment, shaft with axis concentric but not parallel.Place dial indicator on one hub and rotate this hub 360°while taking readings on the face of the other hub. Angularalignment is achieved when reading is 0.020" (0.508mm) TIR, or less.• Final alignment is achieved when parallel and angular requirementsare satisfied with motor hold-down bolts tight.NOTICE: ALWAYS RECHECK BOTH ALIGNMENTSAFTER MAKING ANY MECHANICALADJUSTMENTS.PipingAngular• Piping should be no smaller than pump’s discharge andsuction connections and kept as short as possible, avoidingunnecessary fittings to minimize friction losses.

Wiring and GroundingInstall, ground and wire accordingto local and National Electrical CodeRequirements.Install an all leg electrical powerdisconnect switch near the pump.Disconnect and lockout electricalpower before installing or servicingthe pump.Electrical supply MUST matchpump’s nameplate specifications. Incorrectvoltage can cause fire, damagemotor and void the warranty.Motors without built-in protection MUST be providedwith contactors and thermal overloads for single phasemotors, or starters with heaters for three phase motors.See motor nameplate.WARNINGHazardous voltagecan shock, burn orcause death.• Use only copper wire to motor and ground. The groundwire MUST be at least as large as the wire to the motor.Wires should be color coded for ease of maintenance.• Follow motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram on the motornameplate or terminal cover carefully.WARNINGHazardousvoltageRotationFAILURE TO PERMANENTLYGROUND THE PUMP, MOTOR ANDCONTROLS BEFORE CONNECTINGTO ELECTRICAL POWER CAN CAUSESHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.NOTICE: INCORRECT ROTATION MAY CAUSEDAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND VOIDSTHE WARRANTY.• Correct rotation is right-hand, CLOCKWISE when viewedfrom the motor end.
