INSTALLATION − SECTION B
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar-
range the pump and piping.
Do not test or operate your pump and in-
tegral gearbox before reading the in-
stallation and operation instructions in
this manual.
This pump is a self-priming centrifugal model with
an integral gearbox assembly. This pump is de-
signed for vehicular mounting in petroleum or clear
water service, where the liquid is supplied to the
pump under pressure. Since the pressure sup-
plied to the pump is critical to performance and
safety, be sure to limit the incoming pressure to
50% of the maximum permissible operating pres-
sure as shown on the pump performance curve
(see Section E, Page 1).
The integral gearbox is designed to be driven
through the vehicle transfer case by a customer-
supplied universal shaft assembly. The pump cas-
ing or gearbox may be rotated in 45
_ increments to
assist with alignment with the vehicle tank; howev-
er, if the gearbox is to be rotated, some modifica-
tions must be made to the gearbox to ensure ade-
quate lubrication. Consult the factory for details.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
