INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp pump.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your pump. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or damage to the
pump.
This manual will alert personnel to known proce­
dures which require special attention, to those
which could damage equipment, and to those
which could be dangerous to personnel. However,
this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide
detailed precautions for every situation that might
occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it
is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per­
sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main­
tenance procedures are used, and that any proce­
dures not addressed in this manual are performed
only after establishing that neither personal safety
nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac­
tices.
These pumps are 0 Series, enclosed impeller, self‐
priming centrifugal models, with straight‐in suction
without a suction check valve. They are designed
for vehicular mounting in petroleum service.
The pumps are close‐coupled to an integral, 1750
RPM (06C) or 19000 RPM (06D) split‐shaft gearbox
speed increaser with a 2.56:1 ratio. Power is trans­
mitted to the gearbox through a customer‐installed
universal shaft assembly.
If there are any questions regarding the pump or
its application which are not covered in this man­
ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,
