PAGE I − 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp S Se-
ries Pump. Read this manual carefully to learn
how to safely install and operate your pump. Fail-
ure to do so could result in personal injury or dam-
age to the pump.
A set of three manuals accompanies your pump.
Each set consists of three parts; the Installation/
Operation Manual contains essential information
on installing and operating the pump, and on mak-
ing electrical connections. However, since pump
installations are seldom identical, some of the in-
formation only summarizes general recommenda-
tions and practices required to inspect, position,
and arrange the pump and piping.
The Parts List Manual provides performance
curve(s), a pump model cross-section drawing,
and parts list for your pump.
The Maintenance and Repair Manual provides
troubleshooting and maintenance instructions re-
quired to properly diagnose operational problems,
and to service the pump hydraulic components.
Pump motor maintenance may be performed only
by a Gorman-Rupp authorized repair facility, or the
factory. Otherwise, the pump warranty will be ne-
gated, and damage to the pump, and injury or
death to personnel can result. Contact the factory
for the authorized repair facility closest to you.
The integral electric motor must be operated
through the control box furnished with the pump as
standard equipment. If the motor is dual-voltage,
the pump is shipped from the factory wired only for
the voltage shown on the nameplate. If desired to
have the voltage changed, return the pump to the
factory or to a Gorman-Rupp authorized submers-
ible repair facility.
The pump motor must be operated through an ap-
propriate control box matching the voltage, phase
and other characteristics of the motor. The control
box must be approved by Gorman-Rupp for the
application and environment intended, and must
also provide for proper operation of the motor pro-
tection devices, such as the integral moisture and
thermal switches. Control boxes and other control
devices not integral to the pump are not covered
in this manual.
Pump construction may be aluminum with ductile
iron or steel wearing parts, or stainless steel fitted,
or completely stainless steel. The pump may be
operated fully or partially submerged. Neither the
pump nor the control box are explosion-proof, and
should not be operated in a hazardous atmo-
sphere.
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.
If there are any questions regarding the pump
which are not covered in this manual or in other lit-
erature accompanying the unit, please contact
your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the Gorman-
