INSTALLATION

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 engine 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.

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

engine 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.

Refer to the information accompanying the battery
and/or electrolyte solution for activation and charg-
ing instructions.

Before installing the battery, clean the positive and
negative cable connectors, and the battery termi-
nals. Secure the battery by tightening the
holddown brackets. The terminals and clamps
may be coated with petroleum jelly to retard corro-
sion. Connect and tighten the positive cable first,
then the negative cable.

POSITIONING PUMP

Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or dam-
age to equipment. Suction and dis-
charge hoses and piping must be re-
moved from the pump before lifting.

Lifting

Pump unit weights will vary depending on the
mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping
tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and
use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.
Drain the pump and remove all customer-installed
equipment such as suction and discharge hoses
or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed
units.

The pump assembly can be seriously
damaged if the cables or chains used to lift
and move the unit are improperly wrapped
around the pump.
