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. It is designed for ve-
hicular mounting in petroleum service, where the
liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure.
Since the pressure supplied to the pump is critical
to performance and safety, be sure to limit the in-
coming pressure to 50% of the maximum permissi-
ble operating pressure as shown on the pump per-
formance 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.
