For information or technical assistance on the engine, contact the engine manufacturer’s local dealer or
representative.
The following are used to alert maintenance personnel to procedures which require special attention, to
those which could damage equipment, and to those which could be dangerous to personnel:
weight design for portability, as well as rugged
construction for easy, low-cost maintenance. The
basic material of construction for wetted parts is
aluminum w ith bronze wear ring, and a self lubricated mechanical seal.

SAFETY --- SECTION A
This information applies to 60 Series
Engine Drivenpumps. Refer to themanual accompanying the engine be fore attempting to beg in operation.
This manual will alert personnel to
known procedures which require special attention, to those which c ould
damage equipment, and to thosewhich
could be dangerous to personnel.However, thismanualcannotpossiblyanticipate and provide detailed instructions
and precautions for every situationthat
might occur during maintenance of the
unit.Therefore,itisthe responsibility of
the owner/maintenance personnel to
ensurethatonlysafe, 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.
Beforeattemptingto openorservicethe
pump:
This pump is designed to handle clear
water for high pressure distribution. Do
not attempt to pump volatile,corrosive,
or flammable liquids which may damagethepump orendanger personnel as
a result of pump failure.
Do not operate the pump against a
closed discharge valve for long periods
of time. This could bring the liquid 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. Vaporpressure withinthe
pump can cause parts being disengagedtobe ejectedwith great force.Allow the pump to cool before servicing.
1. Familiarize yourself with thismanual.
2. Shutdown the engine and disconnect the park plug wires to ensure
that the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allowthe pump tocompletely 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.
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 tothe
outside. These fumes contain carbon
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.Alwaysusethe correcttype offuel.
60 SERIES
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded.
PAGE A -- 2 SAFETY
INSTALLATION --- SECTION B
OM--0517160 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.
Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is positionedabovethefreelevelofliquidto bepumped.
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
shownon thepump performance curve. (SeeSection E, Page 1.)
Forfurtherassistance, contact yourGorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
Thepump assemblywas inspectedandtested before shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may haveoc curred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect thepumpforcracks, 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.

OM--05171 60 SERIES
c. Carefully read all tags, decals and markings
onthepumpassembly,andfollowtheinstructions indicated.
d. Check all lubricant levels and lubricate as
necessary. Refer to LUBRICATION in the
MAINTENANCE AND REP AIRsectionof this
manual and perform duties as instructed.
e. If the pump and engine have been stored for
more than 12 months, some of the components or lubricants may have exceeded their
maximumshelflife.These mustbeinspected
or replaced to ensure maximum pump service.
f. Check to ensure the following standard
equipment items are included with the pump
assembly:
S Portable 6.5 gallon fuel tank complete with
quick-connect fitting.
S Suction strainer.
S Rubber foot mounting kit (must be
installed). Toinstall feet, positionflatwashers on capscrews, slide the capscrews
through the rubber feet and holes in the
base,and secure withtheflanged hexnut.
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 tak en.
POSITIONING PUMP
This pump is designed to be very light-weightand
portable. The total pump weight is approximately
240 pounds (109 kg), not including accessories
orengine fuel.Customer installedequipment such
as suctionand discharge hoses must be removed
before attempting to lift.
Mounting
Locatethepump inanaccessibleplaceascloseas
practicalto the liquidbeingpumped. Levelmounting is essential for proper operation.
To ensure sufficient lubrication and fuel supply to
the engine, do not position the pump and engine
morethan 15_ off horizontal for continuous operation. The pump and engine may be positioned up
to 30_ off horizontal for intermittent operation
only;however,theengine manufacturershould 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 and operating range shown on Page E-1 to be sure your
overall application allows pump to operate within
thesafeoperationrange.
Materials
Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and
discharge lines; however, the materials must be
compatiblewiththe liquidbeingpumped. Ifhoseis
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
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as
possible to minimize friction losses. Make minimum use of elbows and fittings, which substantiallyincreasefrictionloss. Ifelbows arenecessary,
use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it exactlywith the pump port. Never pulla pipe lineinto
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
linesare used,they shouldhaveadequatesupport
to secure them when filled with liquid and under
pressure.
The pump may have to be supported orshimmed
to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibration.
