INSTALLATION - SECTION B
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar­
range the pump and piping.
Do not test or operate this pump and in­
tegral gearbox before reading the in­
stallation and operation instructions in
this manual.
This pump is an 0 Series, semi‐enclosed impeller,
self‐priming centrifugal model with straight‐in suc­
tion, and an integral split‐shaft gearbox assembly.
The pump is designed for vehicular mounting in
petroleum service, where the liquid is supplied to
the pump under pressure. The gearbox replaces a
part of the main drive shaft connecting the trans­
mission to the rear axle.
This design permits full utilization of engine power
to selectively operate either the pump or the rear
driving wheels on the vehicle. Both cannot be op­
erated at the same time.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested be­
fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have oc­
curred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump and gearbox for cracks,
dents, damaged threads, and other obvious
damage.
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard­
ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry­
ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur­
faces.
c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump assembly, and perform all duties
indicated. Note the direction of rotation indi­
cated on the pump. Check that the pump
shaft rotates in the required direction.
Only operate this pump in the direction in­
dicated on the gearbox and/or the accom­
panying decal. Reverse rotation of the
shaft will adversely effect pump perform­
ance, and the pump and/or gearbox could
be seriously damaged.
d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re­
fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR section of this manual and per­
form duties as instructed.
e. If the pump and gearbox have been stored for
more than 12 months, some of the compo­
nents or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximum shelf life. These must be inspected
or replaced to ensure maximum pump serv­
ice.
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if
anything appears to be abnormal, contact your
Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to deter­
mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the
pump into service until appropriate action has
been taken.
