Pump Dimensions
For the approximate physical dimensions of your
pump, refer to the pump specification data sheet
or contact your Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the
Gorman‐Rupp Company.
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.
Refer to Table B-2 for the approximate maximum
weight for your 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
