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 pump body and/or the ac­
companying 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.
