RECORD YOUR PUMP MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER
Please record your pump model and serial number in the
spaces provided below. Your Gorman-Rupp distributor
needs this information when you require parts or service.
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 pump is an 80 Series, semi-open impeller, selfpriming centrifugal model with a suction check
valve. It is close-coupled to a single cylinder, air
cooled Honda gasoline engine. The pump is designed for handling most non-volatile, nonflammable liquids containing specified entrained solids.
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.
For information or technical assistance on the engine, contact the engine manufacturer’s local
dealer or representative.

SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to 80 Series engine driven pumps. Refer to the manual
accompanying the engine 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. 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.
This pump is designed to handle most
non-volatile, non-flammable liquids
containing specified entrained solids.
Do not attempt to pump volatile, corro-
sive, or flammable liquids which may
damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
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.
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 completely cool before
servicing.
Do not operate an internal combustion
engine in an explosive atmosphere.
When operating internal combustion
engines in an enclosed area, make certain that exhaust fumes are piped to the
outside. These fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas that is colorless, tasteless, and odorless.
PAGE A − 1SAFETY
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.
80 SERIESOM−05297
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. The maximum continuous
operating speed for this pump is 3800
RPM.

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

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 (see Section E, Page 1).
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 MAINTENANCEAND REPAIR section of this manual and perform duties as instructed.
e. The rubber foot mounting kit (see the Parts
List, Section E, Page E−3) was shipped loose
with the pump. Refer to Figure 1, Page E−2
and install the parts as shown.
f. If the pump and
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.
engine have been stored for
POSITIONING PUMP
The pump may have to be supported or shimmed
to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibration.
To ensure sufficient lubrication and fuel supply to
the engine, do not position the pump and engine
more than 15_ off horizontal for continuous operation. The pump and engine may be positioned up
to 30_ off horizontal for intermittent operationonly; however, the engine manufacturer should be
consulted for continuous operation at angles
greater than 15_.
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by increased suction lift, discharge elevation, and friction losses. See the performance curve on Page
E-1 to be sure your overall application allows 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, reinforced type to prevent collapse under suction. Using piping couplings in suction lines is not recommended.
Line Configuration
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.
Mounting
Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as
practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mounting is essential for proper operation.
PAGE B − 2INSTALLATION
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as
possible to minimize friction losses. Make minimum use of elbows and fittings, which substantially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary,
use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it exactly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into
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
