to the incoming power lines. The pump
motor is designed to operate through a
Gorman‐Rupp approved control box
which provides overload protection and
power control; otherwise, the pump
warranty will be voided. Make certain
that the pump and control box are prop­
erly grounded and that the incoming
power matches the requirements of the
pump and controls. Install and operate
the control box in accordance with the
National Electric Code and all local
codes. Failure to follow the instructions
in this warning could result in injury or
death to personnel.
Death or serious personal injury and
damage to the pump or components
can occur if proper lifting procedures
are not observed. Make certain that
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in
good working condition and of suffi­
cient capacity and that they are posi­
tioned so that loads will be balanced
and the pump or components will not be
damaged when lifting. Do not attempt to
lift this pump by the motor or control
cables, or the piping. Attach proper lift­
ing equipment to the lifting bail fitted on
the pump. Lift the pump or component
only as high as necessary and keep per­
sonnel away from suspended objects.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju­
ry or death. Obtain the services of a
qualified electrician to make all electri­
cal connections. Make certain that the
pump and enclosure are properly
grounded; never use gas pipe as an
electrical ground. Be sure that the in­
coming power matches the voltage and
phase of the pump and control before
connecting the power source. Do not
run the pump if the voltage is not within
the limits. If the overload unit is tripped
during pump operation, correct the
problem before restarting the pump.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju­
ry or death. Make certain that the control
handle on the control box is in the OFF
position and locked out, or that the pow­
er supply to the control box has been
otherwise cut off and locked out, before
attempting to open or service the pump
assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre­
vent accidental start‐up.
Never attempt to alter the length or re­
pair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be com­
pletely waterproof. Injury or death may
result from alterations.
All electrical connections must be in ac­
cordance with The National Electric
Code and all local codes. If there is a
conflict between the instructions pro­
vided and N.E.C. Specifications, N.E.C.
Specifications shall take precedence.
All electrical equipment supplied with
this pump was in conformance with
N.E.C. requirements in effect on the
date of manufacture. Failure to follow
applicable specifications, or substitu­
tion of electrical parts not supplied or
