SAFETY

SAFETY --- SECTION A

This information is specific to Gorman-Rupp GHA

Series Rotary Gear Pumps. It applies throughout

this manual and any manual or literature ac-

companying the pump.

For information on the power unit used to drive this

pump, consult the separate literature accompany-

ing the power unit.

Pumps and related equipment must be in-

stalled and operated according to all na-

tional, local and industry standards.

This manual will alert personnel to

known procedures which require spe-

cial attention, to those which could

damage equipment, and to those which

could be dangerous to personnel. How-

ever, this manual cannot possibly pro-

vide detailed instructions and precau-

tions for each specific application or for

every situation that might occur during

maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it is

the responsibility of the owner, installer

and/or maintenance personnel to en-

sure that applications and/or mainte-

nance procedures not addressed in this

manual are performed only after estab-

lishing that neither personal safety nor

pump integrity are compromised by

such applications or procedures.

Before attempting to install, operate, or

service this pump, familiarize yourself

with this manual, and with all other liter-

ature shipped with the pump. Unfamil-

iarity with all aspects of pump operation

covered in this manual could lead to de-

struction of equipment, injury, or death.

Depending on design and components,

this pump will handle a wide range of

light, medium, and heavy viscosity liq-

uids at a variety of temperatures. Do not

apply at higher temperatures than the

seal will handle. Do not attempt to pump

liquids which may damage the pump or

endanger personnel as a result of pump

failure; consult the factory for chemical

compatibility.

If the pump and motor are furnished

mounted on a base, make certain that all

lifting devices have adequate capacity.

If chains or cables are used in lifting,

make certain that they are positioned so

as not to damage components, and so

that the load will be balanced.

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are secure before op-

eration. Loose connections can result in

damage to the equipment and serious

injury to personnel.

Never operate the pump without a pres-

sure relief valve installed on the pump

or in the discharge piping. Make certain

that pump-mounted pressure relief

valves are installed with their adjusting

ends toward the suction port.Ifbi-rota-

OM--04621 GHA SERIES

tional operation is required, a pressure

relief device must be provided for both

directions of flow. Operation without a

pressure relief valve or with an improp-

erly installed relief valve could cause

the pump to explode, resulting in seri-

ous injury or death to personnel.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man-

ual.

2. Lock out incoming power to the

drive unit to ensure that the pump

will remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Close the discharge and suction

valve (if used).

An overheated pump can cause severe

burns and injury. If overheating occurs:

1. Stop the pump immediately.

2. Allow the pump to completely cool.

3. Refer to the instructions in this

manual before restarting the

pump.

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 completely cool before

servicing.

Do not operate this pump without

guards in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-

ing, fingers or tools, causing severe in-

jury to personnel.

This pump may be used to handle liq-

uids which may cause serious illness or

injury through direct exposure or

emitted fumes. Wear protective cloth-

ing, such as rubber gloves, face mask

and rubber apron, as necessary, before

disconnecting or servicing the pump or

piping.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION --- SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Pumps and related equipment must be in-

stalled and operated according to all na-

tional, local and industry standards.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section is intended only to summarize general rec-

ommendations and practices required to inspect,

position, and arrange the pump and piping. If there

are any questions concerning your specific instal-

lation, contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or

the Gorman-Rupp Company.

Most of the information applies to a flooded suction

installation where liquid is supplied under pres-

sure.

If the pump is positioned above the liquid in a static

lift installation, information such as mounting, pip-

ing configuration and priming must be tailored to

specific conditions.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be-

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

check for damage which may have occurred dur-

ing shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump assembly for cracks, dents,

damaged threads, and other obvious dam-

age.

b. Check for loose attaching hardware. Since

gaskets tend to shrink after drying, check for

loose hardware at the mating surfaces.

c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings

on the pump assembly, and perform all duties

indicated.

STORAGE

Due to the extreme close machining toler-

ances within rotary gear pumps, proper

storage before installation is essential to

prevent damage to the pump.

If the pump will not be immediately installed, follow

these procedures or damage to the pump will oc-

cur.

a. Do not flush the pump. Ensure that the port

plugs shipped with the pump remain in place

until piping is installed to help prevent dust or

other foreign objects from entering the pump.

b. Pumps that will not be installed for an ex-

tended period should be stored indoors if

possible. The factory-installed port plugs will

not ensure protection from excessive humid-

ity, splash water or rain. In very humid or wet

conditions, install air-tight plugs in the ports

and fill the pump completely with a lubricating

preservative liquid that is compatible with the

liquid to be pumped.

c. Pumps stored outdoors must be fully pre-

served as described above, completely cov-

ered with plastic or other water-tight material,

and the covering anchored to ensure that it

will not be blown off.

Flushing

Clean piping is essential because of close-

tolerance moving parts in this pump. Flush

all dirt, grit, weld beads or scale from the

suction piping before installing the pump.

Damage to the pump because of debris in

the suction line is not covered by the pump

warranty.

Before shipment, the pump may have been tested

using a petroleum-based preservative. If flushing is

required, do not do so until just before installation;

the test oil protects close-tolerance pump parts

from corrosion.

Most cleaning solvents are toxic and

flammable. Use them only in a well ven-

tilated area free from flame, sparks, and

excessive heat. Read and follow all pre-

cautions printed on solvent containers.

GHA SERIES OM--04621

PAGE B -- 3

INSTALLATION

To flush the pump, use an approved solvent com-

patible with the liquid being pumped. Make cer-

tain that the solvent will not attack pump com-

ponents, particularly seals and gaskets.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Pump dimensions are shown in the separate

Pump Specification Bulletin.

Never operate the pump without a pres-

sure relief valve installed on the pump

or in the discharge piping. Make certain

that pump-mounted pressure relief

valves are installed with their adjusting

ends toward the suction port.Ifbi-rota-

tional operation is required, a pressure

relief device must be provided for both

directions of flow. Operation without a

pressure relief valve or with an improp-

erly installed relief valve could cause

the pump to explode, resulting in seri-

ous injury or death to personnel.

Lifting

Remove suction and discharge hose and piping

before attempting to lift the pump. Use lifting equip-

ment with a capacity of at least five times the total

weight of the equipment being lifted.

Positioning The Pump

Locate the pump as close as possible to the liquid

being pumped. Locating the pump below the liq-

uid source will help self-priming and reduce the

possibility of cavitation.

Mounting

The pump may be shipped alone, mounted on a

base, or with pump and motor mounted on a base.

Install the pump and motor on a base before

mounting the base on a foundation.

Mount the base on a foundation that will provide

permanent, rigid support for the pump, and will be

heavy enough to absorb any vibration, strain or

shock.

Piping

Before establishing suction and discharge lines,

determine pump port positions and rotation. Fig-

ure B---1 shows typical port positions for the stan-

dard 90_housing; if you have selected a 180_

housing port option, your port positions will be dif-

ferent.

Either hose or rigid pipe may be used to make con-

nections. If rigid piping is used, install expansion

joints to protect the pump from vibration and ther-

mal expansion in the piping. Do not use expansion

joints or flexible connectors to adjust misaligned

piping.

Begin piping layout at the pump, and work toward

the source of supply and the point of discharge. If

an obstacle is in the way of a suction or discharge

line, run the piping around the obstruction, not

over it. Running piping over an obstruction will

create an air pocket which will make priming more

difficult.

If possible, slope the piping toward the pump so no

air or liquid is trapped in the piping. If a long hori-

zontal suction line is necessary, install the line be-

low the liquid level whenever possible in order to

keep the piping full of liquid. This will make priming

easier because the pump will not have to remove

as much air in the line.
