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.
Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is positioned
above the free level of liquid to be pumped.
If installed in a flooded suction application where
the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line
configuration, and priming must be tailored to the
specific application. Since the pressure supplied
to the pump is critical to performance and safety,
be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the
maximum permissible operating pressure as
shown on the pump performance curve (see Sec­
tion E, Page 1).
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 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 that the pump shaft rotates in
the required direction.
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.
