INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp SF 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 an ap­
propriate control box matching the voltage and
other characteristics of the motor. The control box
must also provide for proper operation of the motor
protection devices such as the integral moisture
and thermal switches. Control boxes and other
control devices other than those integral to the
pump motor are not covered in this manual.
Pump construction is cast iron, with ductile iron im­
peller and stainless steel shaft and hardware. The
pump is designed to handle raw, unscreened sew­
age and effluents. The pump may be equipped
with an integral guide shoe which, when mounted
on guide rails in a wet well, engages an optional
base elbow. The pump may also be equipped with
a trash stand for floor mounting in a wet well. Op­
eration is the same for either installation.
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:
