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 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance

manual is designed to help you achieve the best

performance and longest life from your Gorman‐

Rupp pump.

This pump is a Super T Series, semi‐open impeller,

self‐priming centrifugal model with a suction check

valve. The pump also is designed with external

shimless adjusters for setting the wear plate to im

peller clearance. The pump is close coupled to a

Deutz F4L diesel engine, and is designed for han

dling dirty water containing specified entrained sol

ids and slurries. The basic material of construction

is gray iron, with ductile iron impeller and steel

wearing parts.

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

PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A

This information applies to Super T Se

ries engine driven pumps. Refer to the

manual accompanying the engine be

fore attempting 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. Set the HAND‐OFF‐AUTO switch to

`OFF', and disconnect the positive

battery cable 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 equipped with an automat

ic starting system, and is subject to au

tomatic restart. Keep hands and cloth

ing away from the unit to prevent injury

during automatic operation. Disconnect

the positive battery cable before per

forming any maintenance. Failure to do

so may result in serious personal injury.

This pump is designed to handle dirty

water containing specified entrained

solids. Do not attempt to pump volatile,

corrosive, or flammable liquids which

may damage the pump or endanger per

sonnel as a result of pump failure.

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

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

After the unit has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are tight, properly

supported and secure before operation.

SUPER T SERIESOM-05514

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

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.

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.

Do not operate an internal combustion

engine in an explosive atmosphere.

When operating internal combustion

engines in an enclosed area, make cer

tain that exhaust fumes are piped to the

outside. These fumes contain carbon

monoxide, a deadly gas that is color

less, tasteless, and odorless.

Fuel used by internal combustion en

gines presents an extreme explosion

and fire hazard. Make certain that all

fuel lines are securely connected and

free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run

ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel

tank. Always use the correct type of fuel.

Never tamper with the governor to gain

more power. The governor establishes

safe operating limits that should not be

exceeded. The maximum continuous

operating speed for this pump is 1700

RPM.

SUPER T SERIES OM-05514

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.

Most of the information pertains to a standard

static lift application where the pump is positioned

above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the

maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

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 assembly for cracks, dents,

damaged threads, and other obvious dam

age.

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.

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 engine 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.

Battery Specifications And Installation

Unless otherwise specified on the pump order, the

engine battery was not included with the unit.

When selecting a battery, refer to the specifications

on the paper tag attached to the battery box in or

der to ensure the proper size and electrical charac

teristics of the battery.

Refer to the information accompanying the battery

and/or electrolyte solution for activation and charg

ing instructions.

Before installing the battery, clean the positive and

negative cable connectors, and the battery termi

nals. Secure the battery by tightening the

holddown brackets. The terminals and clamps

may be coated with petroleum jelly to retard corro

sion. Connect and tighten the positive cable first,

then the negative cable.

POSITIONING 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

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

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.

Mounting

Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as

practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount

ing is essential for proper operation.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra

tion.

If the pump has been mounted on a moveable

base, make certain the base is stationary by setting

SUPER T SERIES OM-05514

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

the brake and blocking the wheels before attempt

ing to operate the pump.

To ensure sufficient lubrication and fuel supply to

the engine, do not position the pump and engine

more than 15_off horizontal for continuous opera

tion. The pump and engine may be positioned up

to 30_off horizontal for intermittent operation

only; however, the engine manufacturer should be

consulted for continuous operation at angles

greater than 15_.

Clearance

When positioning the pump, allow a minimum

clearance of 18 inches (457,2 mm) in front of the

back cover to permit removal of the cover and easy

access to the pump interior.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See the performance curve and notes

on Page E‐1 to be sure your overall application al

lows pump to operate within the safe operation

range.

Materials

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and

discharge lines; however, the materials must be

compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is

used in suction lines, it must be the rigid‐wall, rein

forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us

ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom

mended.

Line Configuration

Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as

possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini

mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan

tially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary,

use the long‐radius type to minimize friction loss.

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex

actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into

place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou

plings.

Lines near the pump must be independently sup

ported to avoid strain on the pump which could

cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,

and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose‐type

lines are used, they should have adequate support

to secure them when filled with liquid and under

pressure.

Gauges

Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing

discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges.

If these gauges are desired for pumps that are not

tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge

lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the

suction and discharge ports and install the lines.

Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic

readings.

SUCTION LINES

To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim

ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as

possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the

line must always slope upward to the pump from

the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line

slopes down to the pump at any point along the

suction run, air pockets will be created.

Fittings

Suction lines should be the same size as the pump

inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they

should be the eccentric type, and should be in

stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor

mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,

install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock

ets.

Strainers

A strainer or other device should be used to filter

solids larger than the pump's capacity to avoid

damage or decreased performance. Information

about solids size handling can be found on the per

formance curve for your specific pump. When se

lecting or installing a strainer, make certain that the

total area of the openings in the strainer is at least
