_C); do not apply the pump at higher
temperatures. Do not attempt to pump
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
The following precautions should be
taken before attempting to service the
pump; otherwise, injury or death could
result.
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­
ual and with all other literature
shipped with the pump.
2. Lock out incoming power to the
pump or control box to ensure that
the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Close the discharge valve (if
used).
Do not attempt to lift this pump by the
motor power cable or the piping. Attach
proper lifting equipment to the lifting
device fitted to the pump, and make cer­
tain that the hook of the lifting device is
securely positioned in the center of the
pump lifting device. If chains or cables
are wrapped around the pump to lift it,
make certain that they are positioned so
as not to damage the pump, and so that
the load will be balanced.
This pump was wired at the factory only
for the voltage shown on the nameplate.
Do not attempt to change the voltage on
a dual‐voltage motor. If desired to have
the voltage changed, return the pump to
the factory or to an authorized Gorman‐
Rupp repair facility only; otherwise, the
pump warranty will be negated, and
damage to the pump, and injury or death
to personnel can result.
If the pump is used to handle liquids
which may cause illness or disease
through direct exposure, take neces­
sary precautions during maintenance
and repair to prevent personal contami­
nation.
The motor powering this pump is ap­
proved by either CSA and/or FM for Class
1, Division 1, Groups C and D environ­
ments. Refer to the nameplate on your
pump for agency approval information. All
repairs to the pump, other than seal, impel­
ler and other hydraulic components, must
be performed by a Gorman‐Rupp autho­
rized repair facility or the factory. Any re­
pairs to the motor assembly performed by
the customer or an unauthorized repair fa­
cility negates the CSA and FM approval
and the motor warranty.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or hose
connections are secure before operation.
Loose connections can result in damage to
equipment and serious injury to personnel.
