CONTROL BOXES

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your control box. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or damage to the
control box or the pump.

This manual does not include maintenance in-
structions. Have a qualified electrician perform all
maintenance. Be sure to follow all safety precau-
tions as outlined by the National Electric Code and
all local codes.

These control boxes are Nema Type 3R rainproof
enclosures with padlockable front covers. The en-
closures are not designed to be watertight, and
should not be submerged. They are designed for
use with 110, 115, 220 and 230 volt, single phase
Gorman-Rupp submersible pumps. The integral
electric motor of the submersible pump must be
operated through the control box. The control box
is not explosion-proof and should not be operated
in a hazardous atmosphere.

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 control box
which are not covered in this manual or in other lit-
erature accompanying the unit, please contact
