Use conduit cable clamps to secure the incoming
field wiring to the control box. Make certain all con
nections are tight. If necessary, support the cable
weight to prevent excessive strain on cable clamps
and cable.
Dual Voltage
230V and 460V versions of these pumps
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.
Motor Cable Grounding Test
Do not connect the pump power or con
trol cables to the control box or incom
ing voltage before verifying the pump
ground. Otherwise, personnel will be
exposed to serious injury or death.
Connect one lead of a lamp, bell or similar testing
device to the motor cable green/yellow ground
lead (s). Connect the second test lead to an unin
sulated point on the pump body. The test circuit
should close.
If the test circuit does not close, there is a defect in
the cable or motor which must be corrected.
Control Box Connections
The pump warranty is void if the motor is
not operated through a control box ap
proved by Gorman‐Rupp.
This pump is shipped completely wired for the volt
age shown on the nameplate and is ready for op
eration through an approved control box.
Ground the control box in accordance with the in
structions accompanying it.
Ground the pump to the control box using the pow
er cable ground(s) and ground check wire (if so
equipped). Secure the ground wire(s) and ground
check wire (if so equipped) to the grounding lug(s)
inside the control box to ensure a thorough ground
for the pump.
Ground the pump using the power cable
ground wire(s) before applying line po
tential. Failure to properly ground the
pump could result in damage to the
pump or control and/or injury or death to
personnel.
Refer to Figures B-1 or B-2 and connect the
pump motor cable to the control box.
