SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to the SF Se­
ries submersible pump indicated on the
front cover of this manual.
In addition to this manual, see the sepa­
rate literature covering the control box,
control accessories or other equipment
shipped with this pump.
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
service this pump, familiarize yourself
with this manual, and with all other liter­
ature shipped with the pump. Unfamil­
iarity with all aspects of pump operation
covered in this manual could lead to de­
struction of equipment, injury, or death.
This pump is designed to handle raw
sewage and industrial wastes at tem­
peratures of 104
_F (40_C); Do not apply
at higher temperatures. Do not attempt
to pump volatile, flammable, or corro­
sive liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju­
ry or death. Obtain the services of a qu­
alified electrician to make all electrical
connections.
The following precautions should be
taken before attempting to open or ser­
vice the pump; otherwise, injury or
death could result.
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­
ual.
2. Lock out incoming power to the
control box to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Close the discharge valve (if
used).
230V and 460V versions of this pump are
dual‐voltage; however, they are wired at
the factory only for the voltage shown on
the nameplate. Do not attempt to
change the voltage in the field. If de­
sired to have the voltage changed, re­
turn the pump to the factory or to an au­
thorized Gorman‐Rupp repair facility
only. Otherwise, damage to the pump
and injury or death to personnel can re­
sult.
Do not connect the pump motor directly
