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 assembly for cracks, dents,
damaged threads, and other obvious dam­
age.
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.

Before installing the battery, clean the positive and

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.
SAFETY AND CONFORMANCE
All aspects of the design and installation of the fuel
supply system must be evaluated in terms of safety
to personnel and equipment, and conformance to
all applicable codes.
Natural gas presents an extreme explo­
sion and fire hazard. Follow all safety
precautions outlined by the National
Fire Protection Association when de­
signing and installing the system. Make
certain that the regulators and fuel lines
are of the proper size and capacity for
the system, and that all fuel lines are se­
curely connected and free of leaks.
Before installing the system:
1. Check all state and local codes pertaining to
installations of stationary combustion engines
and fuel systems.
2. Consult the following National Fire Protection
Association pamphlet:
