INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp pump.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your pump. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or damage to the
pump.
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 a Super T‐Series, semi‐open impeller,
self‐priming centrifugal model with a suction check
valve. It is designed for handling sewage, waste­
water, trash and slurries containing large entrained
solids. The basic material of construction for
wetted parts is gray iron, with stainless steel wear­
ing parts.

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.
The following are used to alert maintenance per­
sonnel to procedures which require special atten­
tion, to those which could damage equipment, and
to those which could be dangerous to personnel:
