components, the power cable and capacitor. If the
pump fails to run and motor problems are sus-
pected, contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or
the factory for motor service.
Power Cable Installation
NOTE
Reuse of old O-rings or gaskets may result in pre-
mature leakage or reduced pump performance. It
is strongly recommended that new O-rings and
gaskets be used during reassembly (see the parts
lists for the O-ring/gasket kit part number).
If the capacitor (13) was removed, feed the motor
leads for the capacitor through the new grommet
(5) and install the grommet in the hole in the upper
motor cover (29). Slide a piece of heat shrink tube
(not shown) over the capacitor leads. Connect the
leads on the capacitor to the capacitor leads from
the motor. Slide the heat shrink tubing down over
the connections and use a heat gun to shrink the
tubing and seal the connections.
If the ground wire (28) was removed, secure a new
wire to the motor top cover (12) with the machine
screw (27).
Slide the gland end of the power cable down
through the outer pump casing (31). Install a new
outer power cable gland gasket (5D) against the
power cable gland. Push the power cable leads
through a new inner power cable gland gasket (5E)
and down through the hole in the motor top cover
(12).
Connect the ground wire and stator leads to the
power cable leads with the wire connectors (26).
The green ground lead on the power
cable must be connected to the green
lead grounded to the motor top cover.
Failure to ground the power cable or
miss wiring of the ground lead could
damage the pump and/or cause serious
injury or death to personnel.
Carefully fold the capacitor and power cable leads
under the motor top cover and secure the cover to
the upper motor cover with the holding rods and
lockwashers (10 and 11).
Make sure
the cable
leads are not pinched under the motor top cover.
Position the inner power cable gland gasket (5E)
over the flange on the motor top cover. Slide the
outer pump casing (31) down over the motor and
over the motor top cover flange. Secure the pump
casing to the motor top cover with one of the caps-
crews and lockwashers (25 and 26).
Carefully compress the power cable leads into the
motor top cover and secure the power cable gland
to the cover with the machine screws (23). Install
the cable clip (26) on the cable and secure it to the
pump with the remaining capscrew and lockwash-
er (24 and 25).
Secure the flange assembly (14) and nipple (15) to
the pump with the cap nuts and lockwashers (16
and 17).
Secure the handle (19) to the pump with the pre-
viously removed hardware (20 and 21).

Cleaning And Inspection Of Pump Parts
Carefully inspect any O-rings or gaskets before re-
moval and cleaning to determine if a proper seal
and compression existed prior to disassembly. If
sealing was faulty or questionable, the cause must
be determined and corrected before reassembly.
Replace any parts as required. It is
strongly
rec-
ommended that all seals and gaskets be replaced
any time the pump is disassembled.
Thoroughly clean all reuseable parts with a soft
cloth soaked in cleaning solvent. Remove all O-
rings and gaskets, and clean the sealing surfaces
of dirt or gasket material. Be careful not to scratch
gasket surfaces.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well ven-
tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
