SAFETY --- SECTION A

The following information applies

throughout this manual to Gorman-

Rupp Control Boxes.
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 install, operate, or

wire this control box, familiarize your-

self with this manual, and with all other

literature shipped with the control box.

Unfamiliarity with all aspects of control

operation covered in this manual could

lead to destruction of equipment, injury,

or death to personnel.

Before connecting any cable to the con-

trol box, be sure to ground the control

box. See Section B for suggested

grounding methods.

The control box provides overload pro-

tection and power control. Do not con-

nect the pump motor directly to the in-

coming power lines. If the power circuit

breaker or overload relay is tripped dur-

ing operation, correct the problem be-

fore resetting or replacing.

The electrical power used to operate

this control box is high enough to cause

injury or death. Obtain the services of a

qualified electrician to make all electri-

cal connections. Make certain that the

enclosure is properly grounded; never

use gas pipe as an electrical ground. Be

sure that the incoming power matches

the voltage and phase of the control be-

fore connecting the power source. Do

not make electrical connections if the

voltage is not within the limits. If the

overload unit is tripped during opera-

tion, correct the problem before restart-

ing.

The electrical power used to operate

this control box is high enough to cause

injury or death. Make certain that the

control handle on the control box is in

the OFF position and locked out, or that

the power supply to the control box has

been otherwise cut off and locked out,

before attempting to open or service the

control box. Tag electrical circuits to

prevent accidental start-up.

Do not install and operate a non-explo-

sion proof control box in an explosive

atmosphere. Install, connect, and oper-

ate the control box in accordance with

MSHA Schedule 2G. If there is a conflict

between the instructions in the manual

accompanying the unit and MSHA,

MSHA shall take precedence. All elec-
