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.
