SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to Super T Se­
ries basic pumps. Gorman‐Rupp has no
control over or particular knowledge of
the power source which will be used.
Refer to the manual accompanying the
power source before attempting to be­
gin operation.
Because pump installations are seldom
identical, this manual cannot possibly
provide detailed instructions and pre­
cautions for each specific application.
Therefore, it is the owner/installer's re­
sponsibility to ensure that applications
not addressed in this manual are per­
formed only after establishing that nei­
ther operator safety nor pump integrity
are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­
ual.
2. Disconnect or lock out the power
source, or take other action to en­
sure that the pump will remain in­
operative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Vent the pump slowly and cau­
tiously.
5. Close the suction and discharge
valves.
6. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates, or
plugs.
7. Drain the pump.
This pump is designed to handle low pH
resistance residues and slurries con­
taining large entrained solids. Do not at­
tempt to pump volatile or flammable ma­
terials which may damage the pump or
endanger personnel as a result of pump
failure.
After the pump has been positioned,
make certain that the pump and all pip­
ing connections are tight, properly sup­
ported and secure before operation.
Death or serious personal injury and
damage to the pump or components
can occur if proper lifting procedures
are not observed. Make certain that
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in
good working condition and of suffi­
cient capacity and that they are posi­
tioned so that loads will be balanced
and the pump or components will not be
damaged when lifting. Suction and dis­
charge hoses and piping must be re­
moved from the pump before lifting. Lift
the pump or component only as high as
necessary and keep personnel away
from suspended objects.
Do not operate the pump without
shields and /or guards in place over the
drive shafts, belts and/or couplings, or
other rotating parts. Exposed rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers, or
tools. causing severe injury to person­
nel.
Do not operate the pump against a
