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 Mainte-
nance manual is designed to help you achieve the
best performance and longest life from your Gor-
man-Rupp pump.
This pump is a 10 Series, semi-open impeller, self-
priming centrifugal model with a suction check
valve. The pump is close-coupled to an air-cooled
Deutz diesel engine. It is designed for handling
dirty water containing specified entrained solids.
The basic material of construction for wetted parts
is gray iron, with ductile iron impeller and steel
wearing parts.
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.
If there are any questions regarding the pump
which are not covered in this manual or in other lit-
erature accompanying the unit, please contact
