SAFETY - SECTION A

This information applies to 80 Series en­gine driven pumps. Refer to the manual
accompanying the engine before at­tempting to begin operation.

This manual will alert personnel to
known procedures which require spe­cial attention, to those which could
damage equipment, and to those which
could be dangerous to personnel. How­ever, this manual cannot possibly antici­pate and provide detailed instructions
and precautions for every situation that
might occur during maintenance of the
unit. Therefore, it is the responsibility of
the owner/maintenance personnel to
ensure that only safe, established main­tenance procedures are used, and that
any procedures not addressed in this
manual are performed only after estab­lishing that neither personal safety nor
pump integrity are compromised by
such practices.

The engine used in this pump is not
standard. It has been modified for use in
handling gasoline and other petroleum
products in a well-ventilated, non-flam­mable atmosphere free of combustible
hazards. It cannot be further modified
without affecting performance and safe­ty factors. The shield and spark arrest­ing modifications must be inspected
and maintained regularly while the unit
is in use. Refer to the manual accompa­nying the engine before attempting to
start the engine.

This pump is designed to handle water,
gasoline and other petroleum products
in a non-flammable atmosphere. Do not

attempt to pump corrosive materials, or
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.

Before attempting to open or service the
pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man­ual.

2. Shut down the engine and discon­nect the spark plug wire 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.

After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or
hose connections are tight, properly
supported and secure before operation.

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.

PAGE A − 1SAFETY

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.

Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries. If overheating of the
pump occurs:

1. Stop the pump immediately.

2. Ventilate the area.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool.

4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates,
gauges, or plugs.

5. Vent the pump slowly and cau­tiously.

6. Refer to instructions in this manual
before restarting the pump.

monoxide, a deadly gas that is color­less, tasteless, and odorless.

Fuel used by internal combustion en­gines presents an extreme explosion
and fire hazard. Make certain that all
fuel lines are securely connected and
free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run­ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank. always use the correct type of fuel.

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.

INSTALLATION − SECTION B

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.

Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is positioned
above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where
the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line
configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

OUTLINE DRAWING

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the

maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

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 engine 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 sur­faces.

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-

fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR section of this manual and per­form duties as instructed.

e. If the pump and

more than 12 months, some of the compo­nents or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximum shelf life. These must be inspected
or replaced to ensure maximum pump serv­ice.

f. Check all special engine modifications such

as shielded spark plug, fuel spill guard and
ground wire assembly for loose mounting
hardware.

engine have been stored for

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.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra-

tion.

If the pump has been mounted on a moveable

base, make certain the base is stationary by setting

the brake and blocking the wheels before attempt-

ing to operate the pump.

To ensure sufficient lubrication and fuel supply to

the engine, do not position the pump and engine

more than 15_ off horizontal for continuous opera-

tion. The pump and engine may be positioned up

to 30_ off horizontal for intermittent operation

only; however, the engine manufacturer should be

consulted for continuous operation at angles

greater than 15_.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

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.

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.

Pump performance is adversely effected by in-

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric-

tion losses. See the performance curve and notes

on Page E-1 to be sure your overall application al-

lows 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.

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.

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.

PAGE B − 2 INSTALLATION

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex-

actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into

80 SERIES OM−06106

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
lines are used, they should have adequate support
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 are not
tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge
lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the
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 prim­ing, 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.

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 5/8 inch

(15,8 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

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

sump at a distance equal to 1-1/2 times the diame-

ter of the suction line.

If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the

sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc-

tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into

the sump, and air entering the suction line will re-

duce pump efficiency.

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 in­stalled with 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
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

If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc-

tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the

suction inlet 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,

the flow paths may interact, reducing the efficiency

of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the

suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis-

tance 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 to efficient pump operation. Figure 2 shows

recommended minimum submergence vs. veloc-

ity.
