SAFETY − SECTION A
This information applies to 0 Series
power take-off driven pumps. Refer to
the manual accompanying the vehicle
before attempting to begin operation.
Because pump installations are seldom
identical, this manual cannot possibly
provide detailed instructions and precautions for each specific application.
Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s responsibility to ensure that applications
not addressed in this manual are performed only after establishing that neither operator safety nor pump integrity
are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this manual.
2. Switch off the vehicle ignition and
remove the key 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 cautiously.
7. Drain the pump.
If this pump is used with volatile and/or
flammable liquids, be certain proper
safety practices are followed before operating or servicing the pump. Provide
adequate ventilation, prohibit smoking,
wear static-resistant clothing and
shoes. Clean up all fuel spills immediately after occurrence.
Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or damage to equipment. Suction and discharge hoses and piping must be removed from the pump before lifting.
After the pump has been positioned,
make certain that the pump and all piping connections are tight, properly supported and secure before operation.
Do not operate the pump without the
guards in place over the rotating parts.
Exposed rotating parts can catch clothing, fingers, or tools, causing severe injury to personnel.
This pump is designed for vehicular
mounting in petroleum service. Do not
attempt to pump corrosive materials, or
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
Do not operate the pump against a
closed discharge valve for long periods
of time. If operated against a closed discharge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the
pump casing to rupture or explode.
If this pump is used with volatile and/or
flammable liquids, overheating may
produce dangerous fumes. Take precautions to ensure the area surrounding
the pump is adequately ventilated. Allow the pump to cool and use extreme
caution when venting the pump, or
when removing covers, plates, plugs, or
fitting.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an overheated pump. Vapor pressure within the
pump can cause parts being disengaged to be ejected with great force. Allow the pump to cool before servicing.
the emergency brake before attempting
to disconnect the drive shaft or remove
the pump. Be sure the pump is properly
reinstalled and secure before operation.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Limit the maximum input
speed and operation range as indicated
on the performance curve on Page E-1.
The gearbox provided on this pump is
designed for operation at 2200 RPM
maximum input speed. If operated at a
higher RPM, pump components may be
destroyed.
After the vehicle is positioned for pump
maintenance, block the wheels and set
Never run the pump dry of pumping medium. There must be a supply of liquid to
the pump at all times to prevent destruction
of the shaft seal faces.

INSTALLATION − SECTION B
OM−012740 SERIES
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 arrange the pump and piping.
Do not test or operate your pump and integral gearbox before reading the installation and operation instructions in
this manual.
This pump is a self-priming centrifugal model with
an integral gearbox assembly. It is designed for vehicular mounting in petroleum service, where the
liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure.
Since the pressure supplied to the pump is critical
to performance and safety, be sure to limit the in-
coming pressure to 50% of the maximum permissible operating pressure as shown on the pump performance curve (see Section E, Page 1).
The integral gearbox is designed to be driven
through the vehicle transfer case by a customersupplied universal shaft assembly. The pump casing or gearbox may be rotated in 45_ increments to
assist with alignment with the vehicle tank; however, if the gearbox is to be rotated, some modifications must be made to the gearbox to ensure adequate lubrication. Consult the factory for details.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested before shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have occurred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump and gearbox for cracks,
dents, damaged threads, and other obvious
damage.
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard-
ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after drying, check for loose hardware at mating surfaces.
c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump assembly, and perform all duties
indicated.Note the direction of rotation indicated on the pump. Check that the pump
shaft rotates in the required direction.
Tank Preparation
It is essential that any tank scale, dirt, or other foreign material be removed from the tank and piping
prior to pump installation. Failure to do so could result in clogging or damage to the pump.
Damage to the pump resulting from debris
in the suction line will not be covered by
the pump warranty.
Before connecting the suction and discharge piping, carefully check the storage
tank and piping for construction debris
such as nuts, bolts, wire, weld slag, and
other foreign material. Install a commercially available 80 mesh screen in the suction line to prevent debris from entering the
pump.
Only operate this pump in the direction indicated on the pump body and/or the accompanying decal. Reverse rotation of the
shaft will adversely effect pump performance, and the pump and/or gearbox could
be seriously damaged.
d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re-
fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCEAND REPAIR section of this manual and perform duties as instructed.
e. If the pump and gearbox have been stored for
more than 12 months, some of the components or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximum shelf life. These must be inspectedor replaced to ensure maximum pump service.
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if
anything appears to be abnormal, contact your
Gorman-Rupp distributor or the factory to determine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the
pump into service until appropriate action has
been taken.
VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
POSITIONING PUMP
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.
The pump assembly can be seriously
damaged if the cables or chains used to lift
and move the unit are improperly wrapped
around the pump.
Due to the confined mounting location,
specialized equipment such as a transmission jack with custom brackets should be
used to lift and position the pump and
gearbox.
The following instructions apply equally to new installations, rebuilds or retrofits.
NOTE
If the gearbox is rotated out of the standard position
