PAGE B -- 2 INSTALLATION
0SERIES OM--01216
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by in­creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric­tion losses. Contact the factory to be sure your overall application allows pump to operate within thesafeoperationrange.
Materials
Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and discharge lines; however, the materials must be compatiblewiththe liquidbeingpumped. Ifhoseis used in suction lines, it must be therigid-wall, rein­forcedtype to prevent collapseunder suction.Us­ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom­mended.
Line Configuration
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini­mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan­tiallyincreasefriction loss.If elbowsarenecessary, use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex­actlywith the pump port. Never pulla pipe lineinto place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou­plings.
Lines near the pump must be independently sup­ported to avoid strain on the pump which could cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life, and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose-type linesare used,they shouldhaveadequatesupport 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 a re not tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge lines not less than 18 inches from the suction and discharge ports and install the lines. Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic readings.
SUCTION LINES
Toavoidair pocketswhichcould affectpump prim­ing, thes uction line must be as short and direct as possible.Whenoperationinvolvesasuctionlift,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 in­stalledwith the flat part of the reducers uppermost to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor­mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used, install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock­ets.
Strainers
If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain touse it;any sphericalsolidswhichpassthrougha strainer furnished with the pump will also pass through the pump itself.
If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is installed by the pump user, make certain that the total area of the openings in the strainer is at least three or four times the cross section of the suction line,and that the openings willnot permit passage of solids larger than the solids handling capability of the pump.
Thispump isdesignedtohandle up to 1/2-inchdi­ameter spherical solids.
Sealing
Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head, and capacity, especially when operating with a high suction lift, all connections in the suction line should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air­tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s rec­ommendations when selecting and applying the pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible with the liquid being pumped.
Suction Lines In Sumps
If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it should be positioned away from the wall of the sumpata distance equal to1 1/2 times the diame­ter of the suction line.
PAGE B -- 3INSTALLATION
OM--01216 0SERIES
If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc­tioninlet because theinflowwillcarryair downinto the sump, and air entering the suction line will re­duce pump efficiency.
Ifitis necessary to positioninflowclose to the suc­tioninlet, installa bafflebetween theinflowandthe suctioninlet at a distance 1-1/2 times the diameter of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into the suction inlet.
If two suction lines are installed in a single sump, theflow pathsmay interact,reducing theefficiency of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis­tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the suction pipe.
Suction Line Positioning
The depth of submergence of the suction line is critical toefficient pump operation. Figure 2 shows recommended minimum submergence vs. veloc-
ity.
NOTE
The pipe submergence required may be reduced by installing a standard pipe increaserfitting at the endof the suctionline. The largeropening size will reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required submergence using the following formula based on the increased opening size (area or diameter).
Figure 2. Recommended Minimum Suction Line Submergence vs. Velocity
FLOAT SWITCHES
Installation
The standard pump is not furnished with a means to automatically regulate liquid level. However, if the unit is equipped with the optional auto-start control system, the pump can be conformed to

start a nd stop as the liquid level in the wet well or sump risesand falls. Theautostartoptionemploys eitherasingle ordoublefloatswitch system,where a bulb raises or lowers (floats) with the liquid level, thus activating an enclosed miniature switch. The floats are equipped with a socket type connector that plugs into a matching receptacle on the auto ­start control box.
0SERIES OM--01216
Standard floatsare equipped with 50 feet(15,2m) of cable.
When installing the floats, note the following:
a. Be sure to provide sufficient room in the wet
well or sump so that floats do not get ob­structedordrawn intothesuctionline.Ifaflex­ible suction hose is used, it may be extended tolayalongthebottomofthe wetwellorsump and the float can be attached to the hose abovethe point where it bends along the bot­tom. Direct the suction line toward the flow, and the float(s) away fromthe flow.If a stand­pipe is available, attach the float switch cable to the standpipe in the sump at the approxi­matedesiredliquidlevel.

DISCHARGE LINES
Siphoning
Donot terminate the discharge lineat a level lower than that of the liquid being pumped unless a si­phon breaker is used in the line. Otherwise, a si­phoning action causing damage to the pump could result.
Valves
If a throttlingvalve is desired in the discharge line, useavalveaslargeasthelargestpipetominimize friction losses. Never install a throttling valve in a suction line.
Withhighdischarge heads,itis recommendedthat a t hrottling valve and a system check valve be in­stalled in the discharge line to protect the pump from excessive shock pressure and reverse rota­tion when it is stopped.

Add liquid to the pump casing w hen:
1. The pump is being put into service for the first time.
2. Thepump has notbeenusedfora consider­able length of time.
3. The liquid in the pump casing has evapo­rated.
When installed in a flooded suction application, simply open the system valves and permit the in­coming liquid to evacuate the air. After the pump and piping system have completely filled, evacu­ate any remaining air pockets in the pump or suc­tionlineby looseningpipeplugoropeningbleeder valves.
Once the pump casing has been filled, the pump will prime and reprime as necessary.
After filling the pump casing, reinstall and tighten the fill plug. Do not attempt to operate the pump unless all connect­ing piping is securely installed. Other­wise, liquid in the pump forced out un­der pressure could cause injury to per­sonnel.
Tofill the pump, remove the pump casing fill cover or fill plug in the top of the casing, and add clean liquid until the casing is filled. Replace the fillcover or fill plug before operating the pump.
This pump is self priming, but the pump should never be operated unless there is liquid in the pump casing.

OPERATION
Lines With a Bypass
Close the discharge throttling valve (if so equipped) so that the pump will not have to prime against the weight of the liquid in the discharge line. Air from the suction line will be discharged throughthe bypassline backto thew et wellduring the priming cycle. When the pump is fully primed andliquidisflowingsteadilyfromthebypassline, open the discharge throttling valve. Liquid will then continueto circulate through the bypass linewhile the pump is in operation.
Lines Without a Bypass
Open all valves in the discharge line and start the power source. Priming is indicated by a positive reading on the discharge pressure gauge or by a quieteroperation. The pump maynot primeimme­diately because the suction line must first fill w ith liquid. If the pump fails toprimewithin fiveminutes, stop it and check the suction line for leaks.
Afterthepump hasbeen primed,partiallyclosethe discharge line throttling valve in order to fill the line slowly and guard against excessive shock pres­sure which could damage pipe ends, gaskets, sprinkler heads, and any other fixtures connected to the line.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges, pipe plugs, or fittings from an over­heated pump. Vaporpressure withinthe pump can cause parts being disen­gagedtobe ejectedwithgreat force.Al­low the pump to cool before servicing.
Strainer Check
If a suction strainer has been shipped with the pump or installed by the user, check the strainer regularly, and clean it as necessary. The strainer shouldalsobe checkedifpumpflowratebeginsto drop. If a vacuum suction gauge has been in­stalled, monitor and record the readings regularly to detect strainer blockage.
Never introduce air or steam pressure into the pump casingor piping to removea blockage.This could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment. If backflushing is absolutely neces­sary,liquid pressuremustbe limited to50% oft he maximum permissible operating pressure. Since this pump is fitted with a Gorman-Rupp double grease lubricated seal, the maximum incoming pressure must be reduced to 10 p.s.i.
Leakage
No leakage should be visibleat pump mating sur­faces, or at pump connections or fittings. Keep all lineconnectionsand fittingstight tomaintain maxi­mum pump efficiency.
Liquid Temperature And Overheating

1. If the engine exceeds its safe operating tem­perature.
2. If the engine oil pressure drops below design limits.
3. Iftheenginefailstostartwithinapre-setperi­od of time.
Shouldany oft he safety featurescausethe engine toshut down,the cause must bedeterminedand correctedbeforeputtingtheunitback intoservice. The engine will not restart until the HAND-OFF­AUTOswitch has been returned to the ‘OFF’ posi­tion for at least 10 seconds.
Allsafetyshutdown features are pre-set at the fac­tory for optimum performance and safety; do not attempt to adjust these settings.

attempt to adjust any of the settings. Determine the cause of shutdown before putting the unit back into service. Consult the factory for ad­ditional information.
OPERATIONINEXTREMEHEAT
The safety shutdown system will automatically stop the unit if engine operating temperature ex­ceeds design limits. If engine over-temperature shutdown occurs, allow the unit to cool before re­starting.
If engine overheating continues, check the engine lubricant level and viscosity. Consult the engine operation manual for the recommended lubricant for operation in extreme heat.
If the unit is equipped with the optional auto-start control,the float(s)may need to be adjusted to al­low shorter run and longer coolingperiods, ifpos­sible.

ing any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
BEARING TEMPERATURE CHECK
Bearingsnormallyrun at highert han ambient tem­peratures because of heat generated by friction. Temperatures up to 160_F(71_C) are considered normalforbearings, andthey canoperatesafelyto at least 180_F(82_C).
Checkingbearingtemperatures byhand isinaccu­rate. Bearing temperatures can be measured ac­curately by placing a contact-type thermometer against the housing. Record this temperature for future reference.
A sudden increase in bearing temperatures is a warning that the bearings are at the pointoffailing to operate properly.Make certain that the bearing lubricant is of the proper viscosity and at the cor­rect level (see LUBRICATION in Section E). Bear-
ing overheating can also be caused by shaft misalignment and/or excessive vibration.
When pumps are first started, the bearings may seem to run at temperatures above normal. Con ­tinued operation should bring the temperatures down to normal levels.
Cold Weather Preservation
In below freezing conditions, drain the pump to preventdamagefrom freezing. Also,clean outany solids by flushing w ith a hose. Operate the pump for approximatelyone minute; this willremove any remaining liquid that could freeze the pump rotat­ing parts. If the pump will be idle for more than a few hours, or if it has been pumping liquids con­taining a large amount of solids, drain the pump, and flush it thoroughly with clean water .T oprevent large solids from clogging the drain port and pre­venting the pump from completely draining, insert a rod or stiff wire in the drain port, and agitate the liquid during the draining process. Clean out any remaining solids by flushing with a hose.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Sincepump applicationsareseldomidentical,and pump wear is directly affected by such things as the abrasive qualities, pressure and temperature oftheliquidbeingpumped, thissection isintended only to provide general recommendations and practices for preventive maintenance. Regardless of the application however,following a routine pre­ventive maintenance schedule will help assure trouble-free performance and long life from your Gorman-Rupp pump. For specific questions con­cerning your application, contact your Gorman­Rupp distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
Record keeping is an essential component of a good preventive maintenance program. Changes in suction and discharge gauge readings (if so
equipped) between regularly scheduled inspec­tions can indicate problems that can be corrected before system damage or catastrophic failure oc­curs.The appearanceof wearingpartsshouldalso bedocumented ateach inspectionfor comparison as well. Also, if records indicate that a certain part (such as the seal) fails at approximately the same duty cycle, the part can be checked and replaced beforefailureoccurs,reducing unscheduleddown time.
For new applications, a first inspection of wearing partsat250 hourswillgiveinsightintothewearrate foryourparticularapplication.Subsequentinspec­tions should be performed at the intervals shown on the chart below. Critical applications should be inspected more frequently.

Impeller Removal (Figure 2)
To remove the impeller (2), disengage the hard­ware(41,42 and 43).Install3/8---16UNCby 4-inch longcapscrews inthetapped holesin the impeller. Use thecapscrewsanda suitablepuller toremove the impeller from the shaft. Use caution when re­movingthe impeller;tension on the sealspring will be released as the impeller is removed. Retain the impeller key (31).
Remove the impelleradjusting shims (17). Tie and tag the shims or measure and record their thick­ness for ease of reassembly.
Seal Removal and Disassembly (Figures 2 and 5)
Removethe spring. Apply oilto the shaft and work it up under the rubber bellows. Slide the rotating portionofthesealofftheshaft.
Remove the round head machinescrews (10) and slide the seal plate and stationary element off the impeller shaft as a unit. Press the stationary seal element and O-ring out of the seal plate from the back side.
Inspect the wear ring (26) for excessive wear or damage. If replacement is required, use a suitable puller to remove it from the seal plate.
As the assemblies separate, the flexible portionof the couplingassembly(4) will remain on the shaft. Toremovethe couplingfromt he shaft,unscrew the two allen head setscrews from the bushing (3). Screw one ofthe setscrews into the puller holeon the circumference of the bushing. As the coupling and bushing separate, remove the bushing, and slide the coupling off the shaft. Remove the shaft key (18, Figure 2).
It is not necessary to remove the outer ring of the coupling from the engine flywheel unless the cou­plingmust be replaced. To removethe ring, disen­gage the hardware (5 and 6) securing it to the fly­wheel.
Inspect t he pilot bushing (1) for excessive wear. If replacement is required, it can be easily removed from the engine flywheel by making a hydraulic ramfroma piece ofsteel bars tock. Turnthe ramto a diameter of 0.983 inch (25 mm).
Whenperforming the following procedure, grease can be ejected with great force. Wear safety glasses or goggles to prevent injury.
Completelypack the bore of the pilotbushingwith grease. Insert theendof the ram intothe I.D.of the bushing. Strike the ram sharply with a hammer, compressing the grease, and forcing the bushing out of the flywheel. Use additional grease as re­quired, and continue to strike the ram until the bushing is completely free.
Separating Intermediate and Drive Assembly From Engine

If a replacement seal is being used, remove it from the container and inspect the precision finished faces to ensure that they are free of any foreign matter.
To ease installation of the seal, lubricate the bel­lows and O-rings with water or a very small amount of light lubricating oil, and apply a drop of lightlubricatingoilonthe finishedfaces.Assemble thesealasfollows,(seeFigure5).

Final Pump Assembly
Be sure the pump and engine are securely
mounted to the base. Installthe suctionanddischarge linesand open all
valves. Makecertainthatallpiping connectionsare tight, properly supported and secure.
Be sure the pump, intermediate and engine have been properly lubricated, see LUBRICATION.
Fill the pump casing with clean liquid. Reinstall the fill plug (47) and tighten it.
Refer to OPERATION, Section C, before putting the pump back into service.
LUBRICATION
addthree shots ofNo. 0 lithiumbased greasefrom a grease gun through the grease fitting (12) after each 250 hours of operation or once each month, whichevercomesfirst.Do notover-lubricate. Over­lubrication can cause the bearing to over-heat, re­sulting in premature bearing failure.
If grease is forced out around the shaft as newgreaseis added,the bearing cavity is full and should be disassembled and cleaned immediately.
There are no provisions in the bearing cavity to drainor flushthe lubricant.The pumpand interme­diatemustbedisassembledtocompletelyclean and maintain this cavity.
Under normal conditions, change the grease after each5000 hoursofoperation, or at12 month inter­vals, whichever comes first. Change the grease more frequently if the pump is operated continu­ouslyor installedinanenvironment wherevariable hot and cold temperatures are common.
