SF SERIES X‐PROOF PUMPS OM-06629
PAGE A-2 SAFETY
This pump is not designed to pump vol­
atile, flammable, or corrosive liquids.
The maximum temperature of the liquid
being pumped should not exceed 104
_F
(40
_C); do not apply the pump at higher
temperatures. Do not attempt to pump
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
The following precautions should be
taken before attempting to service the
pump; otherwise, injury or death could
result.
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­
ual and with all other literature
shipped with the pump.
2. Lock out incoming power to the
pump or 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).
Death or serious personal injury and
damage to the pump or components
can occur if proper lifting procedures
are not observed. Make certain that
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in
good working condition and of suffi­
cient capacity and that they are posi­
tioned so that loads will be balanced
and the pump or components will not be
damaged when lifting. Do not attempt to
lift this pump by the motor or control
cables, or the piping. Attach proper lift­
ing equipment to the lifting bail fitted on
the pump. Lift the pump or component
only as high as necessary and keep per­
sonnel away from suspended objects.
This pump was wired at the factory only
for the voltage shown on the nameplate.
Do not attempt to change the voltage on
a dual‐voltage motor. If desired to have
the voltage changed, return the pump to
the factory or to an authorized Gorman‐
Rupp repair facility only; otherwise, the
pump warranty will be negated, and
damage to the pump, and injury or death
to personnel can result.
If the pump is used to handle liquids
which may cause illness or disease
through direct exposure, take neces­
sary precautions during maintenance
and repair to prevent personal contami­
nation.
The motor powering this pump is ap­
proved by either CSA and/or FM for Class
1, Division 1, Groups C and D environ­
ments. Refer to the nameplate on your
pump for agency approval information. All
repairs to the pump, other than seal, impel­
ler and other hydraulic components, must
be performed by a Gorman‐Rupp autho­
rized repair facility or the factory. Any re­
pairs to the motor assembly performed by
the customer or an unauthorized repair fa­
cility negates the agency approval and the
motor warranty.
