(Figure 1)
Install any leveling shims used under the casing
mounting feet, and secure the casing to the base
with the previously removed hardware.
If a lifting eye was used to move the pump casing,
be sure to remove the lifting eye from the pump
casing.
Do not attempt to lift the complete pump
unit using the lifting eye. It is designed
to facilitate removal or installation of in­
dividual components only. Additional
weight may result in damage to the
pump or failure of the eye bolt.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
MAINTENANCE
(Figure 3)
The back cover is equipped with a pressure relief
valve (not shown) to provide additional safety for
the pump and operator (refer to Liquid Tempera­
ture And Overheating in OPERATION).
It is recommended that the pressure relief valve as­
sembly be replaced at each overhaul, or any time
the pump overheats and activates the valve. Never
replace this valve with a substitute which has not
been specified or provided by the Gorman‐Rupp
Company.
Periodically, the valve should be removed for in­
spection and cleaning. When reinstalling the relief
valve, apply `Loctite Pipe Sealant With Teflon No.
592', or equivalent compound, on the relief valve
threads. Position the valve as shown in Figure 3
with the discharge port pointing down.
Final Pump Assembly
(Figure 1)
Be sure the pump is secured to the base and en­
gine. Be sure to install any guards used over the ro­
tating members.
Do not operate the pump without the
guards in place over the rotating parts.
Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth­
ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in­
jury to personnel.
Install the suction and discharge lines and open all
valves. Make certain that all piping connections are
tight, properly supported and secure.
Be sure the pump and engine have been properly
lubricated, see LUBRICATION.
Remove the fill cover assembly (6, Figure 3) and fill
the pump casing with clean liquid. Reinstall the fill
cover and tighten it. Refer to OPERATION, Section
C, before putting the pump back into service.
LUBRICATION
Seal Assembly
(Figure 4)
Before starting the pump, remove the vented plug
(9) and fill the seal cavity with approximately 88
ounces (2,6 liter) of SAE No. 30 non‐detergent oil to
the middle of the sight gauge (24)
and maintain it at
the middle of the gauge. Clean and reinstall the
vented plug. Maintain the oil at this level.
NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi­
tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
Bearings
(Figure 4)
The bearing housing was fully lubricated when
shipped from the factory. Check the oil level regu­
