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.
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 pump motor must be operated through the
control box furnished with the pump as standard
equipment. For control box information, consult
the separate control box manual accompanying
the unit.
Pump construction is aluminum, with ductile iron
wearing parts. 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 atmosphere.
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‐
Rupp Company:
