sulated point on the pump body. The test circuit
should close.
If the test circuit does not close, there is a defect in
the cable or motor which must be corrected.
Control Box Connections
The pump warranty is void if the motor is
not operated through a control box ap­
proved by Gorman‐Rupp.
This pump is shipped completely wired for the volt­
age shown on the nameplate and is ready for op­
eration through an approved control box.
Ground the control box in accordance with the in­
structions accompanying it.
Ground the pump to the control box using the pow­
er cable ground(s) and ground check wire (if so
equipped). Secure the ground wire(s) and ground
check wire (if so equipped) to the grounding lug(s)
inside the control box to ensure a thorough ground
for the pump.
Ground the pump using the power cable
ground wire(s) before applying line po­
tential. Failure to properly ground the
pump could result in damage to the
pump or control and/or injury or death to
personnel.
Refer to Figures B-1 and connect the pump motor
cable to the control box.

Control leads P1 and P2 provide the motor with
thermal protection. Control leads W1 and W2 pro­
vide the motor with moisture protection. Refer to
Figure B-3 and connect the pump control cable to
the control box.

The thermal protection contacts will auto­
matically reclose when the motor cools to
the established safe operating tempera­
ture. Whenever automatic restarting is not
desirable, connect only to controls which
are wired for manual restart.
Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram accompa­
nying the control box when making electrical con­
nections.
