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 is a D Series, positive displacement pump,
utilizing a single‐action diaphragm to produce a
straight‐through flow of liquid. The pump is flex‐
coupled to a 3/4 HP explosion‐proof electric motor.
It is ideally suited to industrial and contractor's ap
plications since it will handle liquids ranging from
clear water to construction‐site muck. Since it is
driven by an explosion‐proof motor, the pump may
be operated in a hazardous‐duty environment; the
pump is
not
, however, designed to handle volatile,
flammable or corrosive liquids. The basic material
of construction for wetted parts is aluminum, with
neoprene flap valves and diaphragm.
Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed
only
after establishing that
neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment
must
be installed and operated ac
cording to all national, local and industry stan
dards.
For information or technical assistance on the mo
tor, contact the motor manufacturer's local dealer
or representative.
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,
