This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
manual is designed to help you achieve the best
performance and longest life from your Gorman-
Rupp pump.
This pump is an 0 Series, closed impeller, self-prim-
ing centrifugal model, designed with straigh-in
suction, without a suction check valve. It is de-
signed to handle clear liquids containing specified
entrained solids. The basic material of construc-
tion for wetted parts is gray iron, with bronze impel-
ler and gray iron wear rings.
The pump is close-coupled to a four cylinder Deutz

al accompanying the engine before installing or

Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in-
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re-
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed
only after establishing that
neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com-
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated ac-
cording to all national, local and industry stan-
dards.

sonnel to procedures which require special atten-
tion, to those which could damage equipment, and
