Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Do not operate this pump where explo-
sive vapors or flammable material exist.
Death or serious injury will result.
Check the National Electric Code
(N.E.C.) and local codes before using.
This section only summarizes recommended in-
stallation practices for the pump. If there are ques-
tions concerning your specific application, contact
your local distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Com-
pany.
PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump was inspected and tested before ship-
ment from the factory. Before installation, inspect
the pump for damage which may have occurred
during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump assembly for cracks, dents,
damaged threads, and other obvious dam-
age.
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. The standard pump is furnished with two
30-foot (3 m) long power cables. Inspect the
cables for cuts or damage.
d. Screw the lifting eye (shipped loose) into the
tapped hole in the top of the motor cover until
fully seated, and secure it with the jam nut.
e. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump assembly, and perform all duties
as indicated.
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.
Lubrication
The shaft seal in this pump is lubricated by the me-
dium being pumped. The bearings in this pump
are permanently lubricated for life. No additional lu-
brication is required.
