INTRODUCTION

Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp pump.

Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely

install and operate your pump. Failure to do so

could result in personal injury or damage to the

pump.

This manual will alert personnel to known proce-

dures which require special attention, to those

which could damage equipment, and to those

which could be dangerous to personnel. However,

this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide

detailed precautions for every situation that might

occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it

is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per-

sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main-

tenance procedures are used, and that any proce-

dures not addressed in this manual are performed

only after establishing that neither personal safety

nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac-

tices.

This manual covers 0 Series, enclosed impeller,

centrifugal model pumps, with straight-in suction,

without a suction check valve. The pump is close-

coupled to a gearbox speed increaser with a

2.19:1 ratio. Power is transmitted to the gearbox

through a customer-installed universal shaft as-

sembly. The pump is designed for vehicular

mounting in petroleum service, but is also suitable

for pumping liquids which do not contain large en-

trained solids. The basic material of construction

for wetted parts is aluminum, with cast iron wearing

parts.

If there are any questions regarding the pump or

its application which are not covered in this man-

ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,

PAGE A − 1SAFETY

SAFETY − SECTION A

This information applies to 0 Series

power take-off pumps. Refer to the man-

ual accompanying the vehicle before at-

tempting to begin operation.

Because pump installations are seldom

identical, this manual cannot possibly

provide detailed instructions and pre-

cautions for each specific application.

Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s re-

sponsibility to ensure that applications

not addressed in this manual are per-

formed only after establishing that nei-

ther operator safety nor pump integrity

are compromised by the installation.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man-

ual.

2. Switch off the vehicle ignition and

remove the key 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 for vehicular

mounting in petroleum or clear water

service. Do not attempt to pump corro-

sive materials, or any liquids which may

damage the pump or endanger person-

nel as a result of pump failure.

If this pump is used with volatile and/or

flammable liquids, be certain proper

safety practices are followed before op-

erating or servicing the pump. Provide

adequate ventilation, prohibit smoking,

wear static-resistant clothing and

shoes. Clean up all fuel spills immedi-

ately after occurrence.

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.

If this pump is used with volatile and/or

flammable liquids, overheating may

produce dangerous fumes. Take pre-

cautions to ensure the area surrounding

the pump is adequately ventilated. Al-

low the pump to cool and use extreme

caution when venting the pump, or

when removing covers, plates, plugs, or

fitting.

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 cool before servicing.

PAGE A − 2 SAFETY

After the vehicle is positioned for pump

maintenance, block the wheels and set

the emergency brake before attempting

to disconnect the drive shaft or remove

the pump. Be sure the pump is properly

reinstalled and secure before opera-

tion.

Never tamper with the governor to gain

more power. The governor establishes

safe operating limits that should not be

exceeded. Limit the maximum input

speed and operation range as indicated

on the performance curves on Page E-1.

The gearbox provided on this pump is

designed for operation at a maximum in-

put speed of 1850 RPM. If operated at a

higher RPM, pump components may be

destroyed.

Never run the pump dry of pumping me-

dium. There must be a supply of liquid to

the pump at all times to prevent destruction

of the shaft seal faces.

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.

Do not test or operate your pump and in-

tegral gearbox before reading the in-

stallation and operation instructions in

this manual.

This pump is a self-priming centrifugal model with

an integral gearbox assembly. This pump is de-

signed for vehicular mounting in petroleum or clear

water service, where the liquid is supplied to the

pump under pressure. Since the pressure sup-

plied to the pump is critical to performance and

safety, be sure to limit the incoming pressure to

50% of the maximum permissible operating pres-

sure as shown on the pump performance curve

(see Section E, Page 1).

The integral gearbox is designed to be driven

through the vehicle transfer case by a customer-

supplied universal shaft assembly. The pump cas-

ing or gearbox may be rotated in 45_increments to

assist with alignment with the vehicle tank; howev-

er, if the gearbox is to be rotated, some modifica-

tions must be made to the gearbox to ensure ade-

quate lubrication. Consult the factory for details.

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 and gearbox 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.Note the direction of rotation indi-

cated on the pump. Check that the pump

shaft rotates in the required direction.

Only operate this pump in the direction in-

dicated on the pump body and/or the ac-

companying decal. Reverse rotation of the

shaft will adversely effect pump perform-

ance, and the pump and/or gearbox could

be seriously damaged.

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 and gearbox have been stored for

more than 12 months, some of the compo-

nents or lubricants may have exceeded their

maximum shelf life. These must be inspected

or replaced to ensure maximum pump serv-

ice.

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.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

The following instructions apply equally to new in-

stallations, rebuilds or retrofits.

Tank Preparation

It is essential that any tank scale, dirt, or other for-

eign material be removed from the tank and piping

prior to pump installation. Failure to do so could re-

sult in clogging or damage to the pump.

Damage to the pump resulting from debris

in the suction line will not be covered by

the pump warranty.

Before connecting the suction and dis-

charge piping, carefully check the storage

tank and piping for construction debris

such as nuts, bolts, wire, weld slag, and

other foreign material. Install a commer-

cially available 80 mesh screen in the suc-

tion line to prevent debris from entering the

pump.

POSITIONING PUMP

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.

The pump assembly can be seriously

damaged if the cables or chains used to lift

and move the unit are improperly wrapped

around the pump.

Due to the confined mounting location,

specialized equipment such as a transmis-

OM−012650 SERIES

PAGE B − 3INSTALLATION

sion jack with custom brackets should be

used to lift and position the pump and

gearbox.

NOTE

If the gearbox is rotated out of the standard position

shown in Figure 1, the oil fill and drain plugs must

be relocated. The magnetic drain plug must be re-

located to the lowest port, and the oil vent and el-

bow must be relocated to the highest port. Consult

the factory for correct positioning of the fill plug to

provide for proper lubrication of the gearbox.

ALIGNMENT

When installing and/or aligning univer-

sal shaft assemblies, switch off the ve-

hicle ignition and remove the key to en-

sure that the pump will remain inopera-

tive.

The alignment of the pump and its power source is

critical for trouble-free mechanical operation. Be-

fore checking alignment, make sure that the gear-

box mounting bolts are tight.

When connecting the universal joint drive shaft as-

sembly to a PTO unit, install, support, and align the

drive shaft in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions. The pump and the drive power source

are generally positioned so that shaft centerlines

are parallel and horizontal. The maximum operat-

ing angle should not exceed 15 degrees (see Fig-

ure 2).

Check the direction of rotation of the PTO unit be-

fore starting the pump. The drive shaft must rotate

in the direction shown on the body of the pump,

gearbox, and/or decals, tags, and labels.

Do not operate the pump without the

guard in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-

ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in-

jury to personnel.

After the power take-off has been aligned, block

the wheels of the external power source, engage

the braking system, or take other precautions to

ensure that the power source will remain station-

ary. Block the wheels on the unit to prevent creep-

ing.
