PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A

This information applies to 10 Series ba

sic pumps. Gorman‐Rupp has no con

trol over or particular knowledge of the

power source which will be used. Refer

to the manual accompanying the power

source before attempting to begin oper

ation.

This manual will alert personnel to

known procedures which require spe

cial attention, to those which could

damage equipment, and to those which

could be dangerous to personnel. How

ever, this manual cannot possibly antici

pate and provide detailed instructions

and precautions for every situation that

might occur during maintenance of the

unit. Therefore, it is the responsibility of

the owner/maintenance personnel to

ensure that only safe, established main

tenance procedures are used, and that

any procedures not addressed in this

manual are performed only after estab

lishing that neither personal safety nor

pump integrity are compromised by

such practices.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Lock out or disconnect the power

source to ensure that the pump will

remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Check the temperature before

opening any covers, plates, or

plugs.

5. Close the suction and discharge

valves.

6. Vent the pump slowly and cau

tiously.

7. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle corro

sive liquids containing specified en

trained solids, residues and slurries. Do

not attempt to pump liquids which may

damage the pump or endanger person

nel as a result of pump failure.

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. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are tight, properly

supported and secure before operation.

10 SERIESOM-00570

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

Do not operate the pump without the

shields and/or guards in place over the

drive shaft, belts, and/or couplings, or

other rotating parts. Exposed rotating

parts can catch clothing, fingers, or

tools, causing severe injury to person

nel.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve for long periods

of time. If operated against a closed dis

charge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come

to a boil, build pressure, and cause the

pump casing to rupture or explode.

Overheated pumps can cause severe

burns and injuries. If overheating of the

pump occurs:

1. Stop the pump immediately.

2. Ventilate the area.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool.

4. Check the temperature before

opening any covers, plates,

gauges, or plugs.

5. Vent the pump slowly and cau

tiously.

6. Refer to instructions in this manual

before restarting the pump.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,

pipe plugs, or fittings from an over

heated pump. Vapor pressure within the

pump can cause parts being disen

gaged to be ejected with great force. Al

low the pump to completely cool before

servicing.

Never run this pump backwards. Be cer

tain that rotation is correct before fully

engaging the pump.

Pumps and related equipment must be in

stalled and operated according to all na

tional, local and industry standards.

10 SERIES OM-00570

PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section offers only general recommendations and

practices required to inspect, position, and ar

range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard

static lift application where the pump is positioned

above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the

maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve (see Sec

tion E, Page 1).

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp

distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

Pump Dimensions

See Figure 1 for the approximate physical dimen

sions of this pump.

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

inspect the pump for damage which may have oc

curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged

threads, and other obvious damage.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry

ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur

faces.

c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings

on the pump assembly, and perform all duties

indicated.

Only operate this pump in the direction in

dicated by the arrow on the pump body

and on the accompanying decal. Other

wise, the impeller could become loosened

from the shaft and seriously damage the

pump. Refer to Rotation in OPERATION,

Section C.

d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re

fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE

AND REPAIR section of this manual and per

form duties as instructed.

e. If the pump has been stored for more than 12

months, some of the components or lubri

cants may have exceeded their maximum

shelf life. These must be inspected or re

placed to ensure maximum pump service.

If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if

anything appears to be abnormal, contact your

Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to deter

mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the

pump into service until appropriate action has

been taken.

POSITIONING PUMP

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. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

Lifting

Pump unit weights will vary depending on the

mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping

tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and

use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.

Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed

equipment such as suction and discharge hoses

or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed

units.

Mounting

Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as

practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount

ing is essential for proper operation.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra

tion.

Clearance

It is recommended that 18 inches (457 mm) of

clearance be provided in front of the back cover to

permit removal of the cover and easy access to the

pump interior. A minimum clearance of 6 inches

(152,4 mm) must be maintained to permit removal

of the cover.

10 SERIES OM-00570

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See the performance curve on Page

E-1 to be sure your overall application allows

pump to operate within the safe operation range.

Materials

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and

discharge lines; however, the materials must be

compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is

used in suction lines, it must be the rigid‐wall, rein

forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us

ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom

mended.

Line Configuration

Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as

possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini

mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan

tially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary,

use the long‐radius type to minimize friction loss.

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex

actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into

place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou

plings.

Lines near the pump must be independently sup

ported to avoid strain on the pump which could

cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,

and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose‐type

lines are used, they should have adequate support

to secure them when filled with liquid and under

pressure.

Gauges

Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing

discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges.

If these gauges are desired for pumps that are not

tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge

lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the

suction and discharge ports and install the lines.

Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic

readings.

SUCTION LINES

To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim

ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as

possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the

line must always slope upward to the pump from

the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line

slopes down to the pump at any point along the

suction run, air pockets will be created.

Fittings

Suction lines should be the same size as the pump

inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they

should be the eccentric type, and should be in

stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor

mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,

install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock

ets.

Strainers

If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain

to use it; any spherical solids which pass through a

strainer furnished with the pump will also pass

through the pump itself.

If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is

installed by the pump user, make certain that the

total area of the openings in the strainer is at least

three or four times the cross section of the suction

line, and that the openings will not permit passage

of solids larger than the solids handling capability

of the pump.

This pump is designed to handle up to 1 inch (25,4

mm) diameter spherical solids.

Sealing

Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,

and capacity, especially when operating with a

high suction lift, all connections in the suction line

should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air

tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer's rec

ommendations when selecting and applying the

pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible

with the liquid being pumped.
