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 is a D Series, positive displacement pump,
utilizing a single‐action diaphragm to produce a
straight‐through flow of liquid. The pump is flex‐
coupled to a 3/4 HP explosion‐proof electric motor.
It is ideally suited to industrial and contractor's ap
plications since it will handle liquids ranging from
clear water to construction‐site muck. Since it is
driven by an explosion‐proof motor, the pump may
be operated in a hazardous‐duty environment; the
pump is not, however, designed to handle volatile,
flammable or corrosive liquids. The basic material
of construction for wetted parts is aluminum, with
neoprene flap valves and diaphragm.
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
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated ac
cording to all national, local and industry stan
dards.
The following are used to alert maintenance per
sonnel to procedures which require special atten
tion, to those which could damage equipment, and
to those which could be dangerous to personnel:
Immediate hazards which WILL result in
severe personal injury or death. These
instructions describe the procedure re
quired and the injury which will result
from failure to follow the procedure.
Hazards or unsafe practices which
COULD result in severe personal injury
or death. These instructions describe
the procedure required and the injury
which could result from failure to follow
the procedure.
For information or technical assistance on the mo
tor, contact the motor manufacturer's local dealer
or representative.
If there are any questions regarding the pump or
its application which are not covered in this man
ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A
This information applies to D Series
electric motor driven diaphragm
pumps. Refer to the manual accompa
nying the motor before attempting to
begin operation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man
ual.
2. Lock out and tag out incoming
power to the motor to ensure that
the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Drain the pump.
This pump is designed to handle non‐
volatile non‐flammable liquids contain
ing specified entrained solids. Do not
attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or
flammable liquids which may damage
the pump or endanger personnel as a
result of pump failure.
After the pump has been installed, block
the wheels and secure the pump to pre
vent creeping. Make certain that the
pump and all piping or hose connec
tions are tight, properly supported and
secure before operation.
OM-01478
All electrical connections must be in ac
cordance with the National Electric
Code. If there is a conflict between in
structions provided and N.E.C. specifi
cations, N.E.C. specifications shall take
precedence. All electrical equipment
supplied with this pump was in confor
mance with N.E.C. requirements in ef
fect on the date of manufacture. Failure
to follow applicable specifications, or
substitution of electrical parts not sup
plied or approved by the manufacturer,
can result in severe injury or death.
Do not operate the pump without the ec
centric and coupling guards in place
over the rotating parts. Exposed rotat
ing parts can catch clothing, fingers, or
tools, causing severe injury to person
nel.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju
ry or death. Obtain the services of a
qualified electrician to make all electri
cal connections. Make certain the pump
and motor are properly grounded; never
use gas pipe as an electrical ground. Be
sure that the incoming power matches
the voltage and phase of the motor be
fore making motor connections. Do not
run the pump if the voltage is not within
limits.

Pump Dimensions
See Figure 1 for the approximate physical dimen
sions of this pump.
Figure 1. Pump Model 2D‐X.75 1P
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 for cracks, dents, damaged
threads, and other obvious damage.
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
move the shipping plug from the top of the
gear reducer and replace it with the vented
plug shipped loose with the unit. Refer to LU
BRICATION in the MAINTENANCE AND RE
PAIR section of this manual and perform du
ties as instructed.
e. If the pump andmotor have been stored for
more than 12 months, some of the compo
PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

nents or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximum shelf life. These must be inspectedor 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.
POSITIONING PUMP
Do not install and operate a non‐explo
sion proof motor in an explosive atmo
sphere.
Lifting
The pump may have to be supported or shimmed
to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra
tion.
After the pump has been positioned, block the
wheels and secure the pump to prevent creeping.
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by in
creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric
tion losses. See Page E‐1 to be sure your overall
application allows the 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.
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.
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.
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.
Never pull a line into place by tightening connec
tions at the pump. Lines near the pump must be in
dependently supported to avoid strain on the
pump which could cause excessive vibration and
increased diaphragm and gear train wear. If hose‐
type lines are used, they should have adequate
support to secure them when filled with liquid and
under pressure.
Fixed, Rigid Piping
This pump is equipped with an integral suction ac
cumulator chamber which promotes an efficient
flow of liquid and acts as an air cushion against
shock. Since the air in this chamber will leak away
PAGE B - 2INSTALLATION
Page 10
D SERIESOM-01478
during pump operation, the air must be replen
ished periodically. To introduce air into the cham
ber, stop the pump and remove the suction accu
mulator plug and integral gasket; this will break
prime and allow the liquid in the chamber to drain
away through the suction line.
If the pump is mounted in a system with fixed, rigid
piping, it is recommended that a flexible connec
tion be installed at or near the suction and dis

charge ports to absorb shock which would other
wise be transmitted through the drive train and
greatly accelerate pump wear.
In a fixed piping installation, properly sized surge
suppressors must be installed in both suction and
discharge lines. If commercial surge suppressors
are not readily available, air chambers may be fab
ricated from pipe as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: INSTALL AIR CHAMBERS OFF FLOW LINE TEES
TO AVOID SURFACE TURBULENCE WITHIN CHAMBERS.
Figure 2. Fixed Piping Installation
Note that the air chambers have not been installed
directly in the flow line, but have been installed off
tees to avoid turbulence within the chambers. The
air chambers are fitted with valves to permit intro
duction of small amounts of compressed air to fur
ther dampen shock; this compressed air will leak
away during operation, and should be replaced
from time to time. If the suction chamber floods,
open the suction chamber valve to break prime
and allow the liquid in chamber to drain through
the suction line.
Gauges
If discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges
are desired, drill and tap the suction and discharge
lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the
SUCTION
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.
NOTE
Maximum pump performance is realized at suction
lifts of 5 feet (1,5 m) or less. Use the shortest possi
PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION
Page 11
OM-01478D SERIES
ble length of suction hose or piping; lengths of 25
feet (7,6 m) or longer will reduce the capacity of the
pump.
It is strongly recommended that no positive shut‐
off valve be installed in the suction line; excessive
restrictions will cause incomplete filling of the dia
phragm chamber and result in short diaphragm
life.
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. The suction line
should not be restricted more than 1 inch below the
nominal suction size.
The use of pipe couplings in the suction line is not
recommended.
Strainers
pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible
with the liquid being pumped.
DISCHARGE LINES
The discharge line must be the same size
as, or larger than, the suction line. Never in
stall or operate the pump with a discharge
line smaller than the suction; a restricted
discharge line will cause excessive friction
loss resulting in overloading and destruc
tion of pump and drive components.
Siphoning
Do not terminate the discharge line at a level lower
than that of the liquid being pumped unless a si
phon breaker is used in the line. Otherwise, a si
phoning action causing damage to the pump
could result.
If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain
to use it; any spherical solids which pass through a
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 will not permit passage
of solids larger than the solids handling capability
of the pump.
This pump is designed to handle up to 1‐1/2 inch
(38,1 mm) diameter 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 air
tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer's rec
ommendations when selecting and applying the
Valves
The pump is provided with integral suction and dis
charge check valves.
Never install a positive shut‐off valve in the
discharge line; discharge restrictions will
cause excessive friction loss resulting in
overloading and destruction of pump and
drive components. It is strongly recom
mended that unless absolutely necessary,
no positive shut‐off valve be installed in the
suction line; excessive restriction will
cause incomplete filling of the diaphragm
chamber and result in shortened dia
phragm life.

valve should be installed in the discharge
line.
STARTING
Consult the operations manual furnished with the
motor before starting the pump. Open any valves
installed in the suction line and start the pump.
OPERATION
Priming
The pump may not prime immediately because the
suction line must first fill with liquid. If the pump fails
to prime within five minutes, stop the engine and
check the suction line for leaks.
OPERATION CHECKS
Gearbox Check
Check that the gearbox is properly lubricated (see
LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCE AND RE
PAIR).
Install the pump and piping as described in IN
STALLATION. Make sure that the piping connec
tions are tight, and that the pump is securely
mounted. Check that components are properly lu
bricated (see LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCEAND REPAIR).
Make certain that any positive shut‐off
valve installed in the suction line is open
before operating the pump; excessive re
striction will cause incomplete filling of the

Leakage Check
No leakage should be visible at pump mating sur
faces, connections or fittings. Keep all line connec
tions and fittings tight to maintain maximum pump
efficiency.
Strainer Check
If a suction strainer has been installed, check and
clean it as necessary. It should be cleaned if pump
flow begins to drop. If a vacuum suction gauge has
been installed, monitor and record the readings
regularly to detect strainer blockage.
Page 14
OM-01478D SERIES
STOPPING
After stopping the pump, lock out and tag out in
coming power to the motor to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative.
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, flush it with clean water.
Cold Weather Preservation
The primary construction materials of this
pump are aluminum, with neoprene flap
valves and diaphragm. Do not attempt to
clean or flush this pump with any liquid
which would attack pump fittings or com
ponents. Avoid cleaning with cleaning sol
vent.
In below freezing conditions, drain the water from
the pump and the lines when the pump is not in op
eration. Also, clean out any solids by flushing with a
hose.
GEARBOX TEMPERATURE CHECK
The gearbox runs higher than ambient tempera
tures because of heat generated by friction. Tem
peratures of approximately 200_ F (93_C) are con
sidered normal, and can operate intermittently at
250_F (121_C).
Checking gearbox temperatures by hand is inac
curate. Place a contact‐type thermometer against
the housing and record this temperature for future
reference.
A sudden increase in gearbox temperature is a
warning that the bearings are at the point of failing.
Make certain that the bearing lubricant is of the
proper viscosity and at the correct level (see LUBRICATION in Section E). Bearing 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.

the rod end (3).
If the rod end or spring (8) requires replacement,
use a socket wrench to hold the plunger rod (13)
securely and unscrew the rod end.
To remove the spring, remove the jam nut (6),
spring centering washer (7) and spring (8).
To service the discharge check valve assembly
(22), remove the hardware (17, 20, and 23) secur
ing the discharge flange (21) and check valve as
sembly to the diaphragm pot. Pull the check valve
assembly from the suction port.
Individual parts for the suction and discharge
check valve assemblies are not available. Replace
the complete assemblies if they are excessively
worn or damaged.
If no further disassembly is required, see Suction
And Discharge Check Valve Installation.
Diaphragm and Plunger Rod Removal and
Disassembly
(Figure 1)
Before attempting ro remove the diaphragm (11,
Figure 2), rotate the motor shaft until the eccentric
(1, Figure 2) is at the top of its stroke and the spring
(8, Figure 2) is decompressed.
Remove the tap screws (29) and eccentric guard
assembly (15).
Remove the hardware (16 and 17) securing the re
tainer ring (13) to the diaphragm pot (24).
Plunger Rod and Diaphragm Reassembly and
Installation
(Figure 2)
Slide the plunger rod (13) through the diaphragm
plate (9). Install the spring (8), spring centering
washer (7) and jam nut (6). Compress the spring to
the dimension shown in Figure 2 by tightening the
jam nut.
Screw the rod end (3) onto the plunger rod until
tight.
Position the eccentric (1) against the rod end. Ap
ply “Loctite Threadlocker No. 242” or equivalent
compound to the threads of the capscrew (4) and
secure the eccentric to the rod end with the caps
crew.
Position the diaphragm (11) on the diaphragm
plate (12). Slide the studs in the diaphragm plate
through the holes in the upper diaphragm plate
and secure with the nuts (14).

cure it with the tapscrews (29).
Suction And Discharge Check Valve
Installation
(Figure 1)
Inspect the check valves and replace as required.
Individual parts for the suction and discharge
check valve assemblies are not available. Replace
the complete assemblies if they are excessively
worn or damaged.
Position the discharge check valve (22) against the
diaphragm pot with the weight positioned as
shown in Figure 1. Secure the discharge flange
(21) and diaphragm to the diaphragm pot with the
hardware (19, 20 and 23).
Refer to OPERATION, Section C before starting
the pump.
LUBRICATION
Plunger Rod Assembly
(Figure 2)
The rod end should be lubricated thor
oughly after each 8 hours of operation.
Failure to do so may cause the rod end
bearing to overheat and fail.
Before attempting to lubricate the plunger rod as
sembly, rotate the eccentric cam until the upper
grease fitting (5) can be accessed through the
slotted hole in the eccentric guard (15, Figure 1).
Use a grease gun to apply No. 2 lithium base
grease to the upper lubrication fitting until grease
escapes from the eccentric cap. Lubricate the low
er fitting (10) until grease escapes from the top of
the upper diaphragm plate inside the spring.
Position the suction check valve (27) against the di
aphragm pot with the weight positioned as shown
in Figure 1. Secure the suction flange (28) and dia
phragm to the diaphragm pot with the hardware
(20).
Check the operation of the check valves to ensure
proper seating and free movement.
Connect the suction and discharge piping as de
scribed in INSTALLATION, Section B.
Gear Reducer
(Figure 1)
The gear reducer used on this unit is lubricated for
life from the manufacturer. No additional lubrica
tion is required. If the gear reducer has been disas
sembled for maintenance, follow the lubrication in
structions provided by the gear reducer manufac
turer for the recommended type and quantity of lu
bricant.
