Instruction Manual

RECEIVING THE MIXER
Inspect the mixer as soon as it is received. Carefully
check that everything is in good order. Make notes of
damaged or missing items on the receipt and freight bill.
File any claims with the transportation company as soon
as possible.
Storage Requirements
Short Term: (Less than 6 months): Goulds normal
packaging procedure is designed to protect the mixer
during shipping. Upon receipt store in a covered and dry
location.
Long Term: (More than 6 months): Requires special
precautions. Preservative treatment of bearings and
machined surfaces will be required. Rotate shaft several
times every 3 months. Driver and coupling manufacturers
should be contacted for long term storage procedures.
NOTE: For pumps or back pull-outs supplied with
cartridge mechanical seals, the centering tabs must
be in place and tightened, and the set screw collar
loosened. Failure to take these steps could result in
damage to the mechanical seal or shaft sleeve.
HANDLING
Use care when moving mixers. Lifting equipment must
be able to adequately support the entire assembly. Hoist
bare mixer using a suitable sling, under the suction and
discharge flange and bearing frame. Baseplate mounted
units are moved with slings under the mixer casing
flanges and driver. Refer to figures 4, 5 and 6 for
examples of proper lifting techniques.
