INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp pump.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your pump. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or damage to the
pump.
This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
manual is designed to help you achieve the best
performance and longest life from your Gorman-
Rupp pump.
This pump is a Super T Series, semi-open impeller,
self-priming centrifugal model with a suction check
valve. The pump also is designed with external
shimless adjusters for setting the wear plate to im-
peller clearance. The pump is close coupled to a
John Deere 6068T diesel engine, and is designed
for handling dirty water containing specified en-
trained solids and slurries. The basic material of
construction is gray iron, with ductile iron impeller
and steel wearing parts.
If there are any questions regarding the pump or
its application which are not covered in this man-
ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,

Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in-
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re-
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed only after establishing that
neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com-
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated ac-
cording to all national, local and industry stan-
dards.
The following are used to alert maintenance per-
sonnel to procedures which require special atten-
tion, to those which could damage equipment, and
to those which could be dangerous to personnel:
