Thank You

Gear Pump. This manual is designed to help you
achieve the best performance and longest life from
your Gorman-Rupp Rotary Gear pump.
Read this
manual
carefully to learn how to safely install, op-
erate and repair 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 provide detailed in-
structions and precautions for each specific ap-
plication or for every situation that might occur dur-
ing maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it is the re-
sponsibility of the owner, installer and/or mainte-
nance personnel to ensure that applications and/
or maintenance procedures not addressed in this
manual are performed only after establishing that
neither personal safety nor pump integrity are
compromised by such applications or procedures.
In addition to this manual, a separate
Parts List
is
shipped with the pump. Refer to the Parts List when
ordering parts.
If your pump is furnished with a drive unit, refer to
the drive unit manufacturer’s installation and oper-
ation instructions in the literature accompanying
the pump.
These pumps can transfer a wide range of light,
medium, and heavy viscosity liquids, depending
on design and components.
Some models are
not recommended for use with water; others
when fitted with specific options, may be used
with water; consult the factory.
