Gorman-Rupp Pumps 4D-B 461594 and up - Manual (Page 4)

D SERIES OM--01505
PAGE I -- 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
manual is designed to help you achieve the best
performance and longest life from your Gorman-
Rupp pump.
This is a D Series, positive displacement pump util-
izing a single-action diaphragm to produce a
straight-through flow of liquid. The pump is pro-
vided with an explosion-proof electric motor and
ideally suited to industrial and contractor’s applica-
tions since it will handle liquids ranging from clear
water to construction-site muck. The basic mate-
rial of construction for wetted parts is aluminum,
with neoprene flap valves and diaphragm.
If there are any questions regarding the pump or
its application which are not covered in this man-
ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,
please contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor, 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.
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:
Immediate hazards which WILL result in
severe personal injury or death. These
instructions describe the procedure re-
quired and the injury which will result
