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 this pump and in
tegral gearbox before reading the in
stallation and operation instructions in
this manual.
This pump is an 0 Series, semi‐enclosed impeller,
self‐priming centrifugal model with straight‐in suc
tion, and an integral split‐shaft gearbox assembly.
The pump is designed for vehicular mounting in
petroleum service, where the liquid is supplied to
the pump under pressure. The gearbox replaces a
part of the main drive shaft connecting the trans
mission to the rear axle.
This design permits full utilization of engine power
to selectively operate either the pump or the rear
driving wheels on the vehicle. Both cannot be op
erated at the same time.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested be
fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have oc
curred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump and gearbox for cracks,
dents, damaged threads, and other obvious
damage.
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard
ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry
ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur
faces.
c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump assembly, and perform all duties
indicated. Note the direction of rotation indi
cated on the pump. Check that the pump
shaft rotates in the required direction.
Only operate this pump in the direction in
dicated on the gearbox and/or the accom
panying decal. Reverse rotation of the
shaft will adversely effect pump perform
ance, and the pump and/or gearbox could
be seriously damaged.
d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re
fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR section of this manual and per
form duties as instructed.
e. If the pump and gearbox have been stored for
more than 12 months, some of the compo
nents or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximum shelf life. These must be inspected
or replaced to ensure maximum pump serv
ice.
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if
anything appears to be abnormal, contact your
Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to deter
mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the
pump into service until appropriate action has
been taken.
