INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp 60
Series 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.
A set of three manuals accompanies your pump.
Each set consists of three parts; the Installation/
Operation Manual contains essential information
on installing and operating the pump. However,
since pump installations are seldom identical,
some of the information only summarizes general
recommendations and practices required to inspect, position, and arrange the pump and piping.
The Parts List Manual provides performance
curve(s), a pump model cross-section drawing,
and parts list for your pump.
The Maintenance and Repair Manual provides
troubleshooting and maintenance instructions required to properly diagnose operational problems,
and to service the pump components. Contact the
factory for the authorized repair facility closest to
you.
This pump is a 60 Series centrifugal pump, with
straight-in suction without a suction check valve.
The pump is designed to handle petroleum prod-
ucts and other liquids that do not contain solids.
For specific service, contact your Gorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
The basic pump is not furnished with a mounting
base and power source; however, these items are
available from the factory as optional equipment.
The pump is designed to be driven by an explosion-proof motor.
Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed instructions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the responsibility 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 compromised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated according to all national, local and industry standards.
If there are any questions regarding the pump
which are not covered in this manual or in other literature accompanying the unit, please contact
your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the GormanRupp Company:

SAFETY − SECTION A
The following information applies
throughout this manual to GormanRupp 60 Series basic pumps.
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 install, operate, or
service this pump, familiarize yourself
with this manual, and with all other literature shipped with the pump. Unfamiliarity with all aspects of pump operation
covered in this manual could lead to destruction of equipment, injury, or death
to personnel.
6. Vent the pump slowly and cautiously.
7. Drain the pump.
This pump is designed to handle petroleum products or other similar hydrocarbon liquids. Do not attempt to pump
corrosive materials, or any liquids
which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
This pump is designed to be 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.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this manual.
2. Shut off the incoming power and
lock it out or take other action 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.
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.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping connections are tight, properly supported
and secure before operation.

the motor in accordance with The National Electric Code and all local codes.
If there is a conflict between the instructions in the manual accompanying the
