SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to SM Series submersible motor driven pumps.
Because pump installations are seldom identical, this manual cannot possibly provide detailed instructions and pre cautions for each specific application. Therefore, it is the owner/installer's re sponsibility to ensure that applications not addressed in this manual are per formed only after establishing that nei ther operator safety nor pump integrity are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man ual.
2. Lock out incoming power to the control box to ensure that the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool if overheated.
4. Close the discharge valve (if used).
The pump is designed to be operated through the control box furnished with the pump. The control box provides overload protection and power control. Do not connect the pump motor directly to the incoming power lines.
alified electrician to make all electrical connections. Make certain that the pump and enclosure are properly grounded. Be sure that the incoming power matches the voltage and phase of the pump and control before connect ing the power source. Do not run the pump if the voltage is not within the lim its.
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Make certain that the control handle on the control box is in the off po sition and locked out, or that the power supply to the control box has been otherwise cut off and locked out, before attempting to open or service the pump assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre vent accidental start up.
All electrical connections must be in ac cordance with MSHA Schedule 2G. If there is a conflict between the instruc tions provided and MSHA specifica tions, MSHA specifications shall take precedence. All electrical equipment supplied with this pump was in confor mance with MSHA requirements in ef fect on the date of manufacture. Failure to follow applicable specifications, or substitution of electrical parts not supplied or approved by the manufac turer, can result in severe injury or death.

and that the electrical connections are tight and free of corrosion.
f. Compare the amperes, phase, voltage and
hertz indicated on the motor nameplate to the ratings indicated for the control box.
g. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump assembly and the control box, and perform all duties as indicated.
h. Check the pump and motor for any oil leaks.
An oil leak may indicate a cut O ring or other damage.
i. If the pump and control box have been stored
for more than 12 months, some of the compo nents or lubricants may have exceeded their maximum shelf life. These must be inspected or 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.
The pump and control box were inspected and tested before shipment from the factory. Before in stallation, inspect the pump for damage which may have occurred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump assembly for cracks, dents,
damaged threads, and other obvious dam age.
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. The standard pump is furnished with 50 feet
(15,2 m) of power cable. Inspect the cable for cuts or damage.
d. Inspect the control box for cracks, dents, and
other obvious damage.
e. Check that all control box components are se
curely attached to their mounting surfaces,
Lubrication
This pump series utilizes one lubrication cavity, lo cated just behind the seal plate. It is filled with pre mium quality submersible pump oil which lubri cates two shaft seals. The motor operates in air and requires no lubrication.
The lower shaft seal prevents liquid from entering the lubrication cavity, while the upper shaft seal prevents oil leakage into the motor. The upper seal also acts as backup protection in the event of lower seal failure.
The lubrication cavity was fully lubricated when shipped from the factory. Check the oil level before installing the pump (see LUBRICATION in MAIN TENANCE AND REPAIR). An additional quart of oil has been provided with the pump to “top off” the oil cavity. If the oil level is abnormally low, deter mine the cause before putting the pump into serv ice.

NOTE
Before installing and operating the pump, check the direction of impeller rotation to ensure that the pump is properly wired at the control box. See IM PELLER ROTATION, Section C.
Refer to Table B-2 for the approximate maximum weight for each pump.
Death or serious personal injury and damage to the pump or components can occur if proper lifting procedures are not observed. Make certain that hoists, chains, slings or cables are in good working condition and of suffi cient capacity and that they are posi tioned so that loads will be balanced and the pump or components will not be damaged when lifting. Do not attempt to lift this pump by the motor or control cables, or the piping. Attach proper lift ing equipment to the lifting bail fitted on the pump. Lift the pump or component only as high as necessary and keep per sonnel away from suspended objects.
This pump is designed to operate fully or partially submerged. It may also be operated in air for ex tended periods. The rotating parts are oil lubri cated, and the motor is cooled by a constant flow of liquid or air discharged through internal passages.
The pump will operate if positioned on its side, but this is not recommended because the motor torque could cause the pump to roll during opera tion.
The pump should be independently secured and supported by the lifting device fitted on the pump. If the application involves a lot of debris, protect the pump from excessive wear and clogging by sus pending it in a perforated barrel or culvert pipe. If the bottom is heavily sludge covered, rest the pump on support blocks or suspend it from a raft or similar device near the surface of the liquid. See Figure B-1 for typical pump installations.

Figure B-1. Typical Pump Installations
All liquid entering the pump must pass through a strainer screen. Any spherical solids which pass through the screen will pass through the pump.
PIPING
No suction piping is required in a standard sub merged application.
SM Series pumps are provided with a suction strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. On high discharge head applications, the strainer can be removed, and the pump suction “staged” to the discharge of another pump, allow ing one pump to feed the other.
To determine the size of the discharge connection, see Table B-1, Pump Specifications. Either hose or rigid pipe may be used. To facilitate mobil ity and maintenance, it is recommended that the discharge line be fitted with a quick disconnect fit ting near the pump. The discharge line must be in dependently supported to avoid strain and vibra tion on the pump.
the use of elbows and fittings which increase fric tion losses through the discharge piping system.
It is recommended that a check valve or throttling valve be installed in the discharge line to control si phoning or back flow when the pump is shut off.
CONTROL BOX
This pump is driven by an integral 60 hertz, 6 HP motor. It is designed to operate through the control box furnished with the pump.
The pump motor is designed to be oper ated through the control box furnished with the pump. The control box provides overload protection and power control. Do not connect the pump motor directly to the incoming power lines.
Enclosure
For maximum pumping capacity, keep the dis charge as short and straight as possible. Minimize

Space the ground rod or plates at least 6 feet (1,8 m) from any other electrode or ground rod, such as those used for signal circuits, ra dio grounds, lightning rods, etc.
The earth surrounding the ground rod or plate must contain enough moisture to make a good electrical connection. In dry or sandy ar eas, pour water around the rod, or consult qualified personnel to devise a method of im proving the connection.
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Make certain that the control box is properly grounded after installa tion.
Field Wiring Connections (Incoming Power)
The trailing cable from the power source to the control box must be furnished by the customer. The cable must be flame resistant, protected by an instantaneous circuit breaker, and meet the specifications indicated in Table B-2 in this sec tion.
Do not open the control box in an explo sive atmosphere. When sealed, the con trol box is explosion proof to prevent the ignition of combustible gases. Opening the box in an explosive atmosphere could result in fire or explosion.
The pump control is designed to regulate a 460 or 575 volt, 3 phase, 60 hertz power supply (see Table 4 for control box specifications). The field wiring must be properly sized to ensure an adequate volt age supply. The voltage available at the motor must be within the range indicated in Table B-5.
To calculate the voltage available at the motor, pro ceed as follows:
a. Measure the incoming voltage across lines 1
& 2, 2 & 3, and 1 & 3 while the pump is oper ating at full capacity. See the wiring dia grams in this section for power supply con nections.
b. Next, subtract the motor cable voltage drop
(see Table 6, Pump Power Cable Specifica tions).
c. Do not continue to operate the pump if this
voltage is not within the recommended limits. Obtain the services of a qualified electrician to determine the correct field wiring size and other details to insure an adequate voltage supply to the pump.
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Obtain the services of a qu alified electrician to make all electrical connections. Make certain that the pump and enclosure are properly grounded; never use gas pipe as an electrical ground. Be sure that the in coming power matches the voltage and phase of the pump and control before connecting the power source. Do not run the pump if the voltage is not within the limits.

Pump Power Cable Connections
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Obtain the services of a qu alified electrician to make all electrical connections. Make certain that incom ing power to the control box is in the off position and locked out, or that the pow
er supply to the control box has been otherwise cut off and locked out, before connecting power or accessory cables.
The standard pump is provided with a 50 foot (15,2 meters) power cable (see table 6 for power cable specifications). If a longer cable is required, an op tional cable assembly must be ordered from the factory. Splicing of the power cable is not recom mended by the Gorman‐Rupp Company due to safety and warranty considerations.
Never attempt to alter the length or re pair any power cable with a splice. The pump motor and cable must be com pletely waterproof. Injury or death may result from alterations.

LIQUID LEVEL CONTROL
The standard pump is not furnished with a means to automatically regulate liquid level. However, the pump may be controlled to perform dewatering functions by using an optional control box avail able from the factory. The control utilizes a bulb‐type sensing device, where a bulb raises or lowers (floats) with the liquid level, thus activating an enclosed miniature switch.
Refer to Figure B-7 for a typical bulb‐type float in stallation.
7. Install the packing in the gland with the wash ers on each side, and tighten the packing gland nut. With the nuts tight and the packing fully compressed, there must be a minimum space of 1/8 inch between the bottom of the nut and the enclosure.
8. Use the seal wire (P/N 31311-004) and lead seal (P/N 21188-002) to secure the packing
The float must be positioned to allow 10 minutes between starts. If the pump motor cycles more than 6 starts per hour, it will over‐heat, resulting in damage to the mo tor windings or control box components.

OPERATION - SECTION C
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, labels and decals attached to the pump and control box.
CONTROL BOX FUNCTION
A control box is provided to facilitate operation of the pump. It contains controls for starting and stop ping the pump, and provides overload protection for the pump motor.
The pump is designed to be operated through the control box furnished with the pump. The control box provides overload protection and power control. Do not connect the pump motor directly to the incoming power lines.
Since operation of the pump motor is de pendent upon the quality and performance of the electrical controls, the pump warran ty is valid only when controls have been specified or provided by the Gor man‐Rupp Company.
permit pump operation. The circuit breakers will open or “trip” automatically in the event of a short circuit overload current, or thermal excess within the pump motor or electrical system. When tripped, move the control handle to OFF and back to ON to reset the circuit breakers.
D The control box contains an integral safety
switch which automatically “trips” the circuit breakers when the cover is removed. Never remove the cover in an explosive atmos phere. Make certain incoming power is OFF and LOCKED OUT.
D The motor is thermally protected by a ther
mostat within the stator. In the event of motor overheating, the thermostat will open and automatically “trip” the control box circuit breakers. The motor will not restart until the circuit breakers are reset.
NOTE
If the circuit breaker trips, do not reset it immedi ately. Wait at least ten minutes before resetting the control handle back to the ON position. If the over load unit continues to trip, operational problems ex ist. See TROUBLESHOOTING .
PUMP OPERATION
Component Function
The control box contains the following hand oper ated switches and controls:
D The control handle operates the control
box circuit breakers. In the OFF position, the control handle opens the circuit breakers to interrupt incoming power through the con trol box and prevent pump operation. In the ON position, it closes the circuit breakers to
OPERATION PAGE C - 1
This pump is designed to handle most non volatile, non flammable liquids encountered in mine dewatering. Do not attempt to pump volatile, explosive, or flammable materials, or any liquids which may damage the pump or endan ger personnel as a result of pump fail ure.
Page 23
OM-06520
SM SERIES
Liquid Temperature And Overheating
The maximum liquid temperature for this pump is 120_F (102.2_C). Do not apply the pump at higher operating temperatures.
Approach the pump cautiously after it has been running. Although the motor is cooled by the liquid being pumped, nor mal operating temperatures can be high enough to cause burns. The tempera ture will be especially high if operated against a closed discharge valve. Never operate against a closed discharge valve for long periods of time.
If overheating does occur, stop the pump immedi ately and allow it to cool before servicing it. Ap
proach any overheated pump cautiously.
Checking Pump Rotation
Do not open the control box in an explo sive atmosphere. When sealed, the con trol box is explosion proof to prevent the ignition of combustible gases. Opening the box in an explosive atmosphere could result in fire or explosion.
Check the direction of pump rotation before opera tion to ensure that the impeller is rotating in the cor rect direction.
Suspend the pump from the lifting device fitted on the pump. Turn the pump on momentarily and note the direction of twist. For correct rotation and op eration, the twist must be in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the top (see Figure C-1).
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 cool.
4. Check the temperature before servicing.
5. Vent the pump slowly and cau tiously.
6. Refer to instructions in this manual before restarting the pump.
Secure the pump during rotation to pre vent coiling of the power cable.
If the pump twists clockwise on start, interchange any two motor leads at the control box.
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Make certain that incoming power is off and locked out before inter changing motor leads.

STOPPING
To stop the pump, turn the control handle OFF, thereby opening the circuit breaker.
This does not terminate incoming power through the field wiring connected to the control box.
After stopping the pump, be sure to perform all re quired maintenance and preservation procedures.
NOTE
It is recommended that a check valve or throttling valve be installed in the discharge line if there is any possibility of siphoning or back flow when the pump is shut off.
OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Figure C-1. Checking Pump Rotation
STARTING
After the pump and control box have been in stalled, start the pump as follows.
NOTE
Before actual operation, check the direction of im peller rotation to ensure that the pump is properly wired. See Checking Pump Rotation in this sec tion.
Never start the pump more than 6 times per hour. If the pump motor does not cool be tween starts, it will over heat, resulting in damage to the motor windings or control box components.
Move the control handle to the ON position. The pump motor will start running, and pumping should begin. Since the pump is submerged, prim ing is not required.
Check the pump for proper operation when it is first started and periodically thereafter to identify minor problems.
Check the pump for unusual noises or excessive vibration while it is operating. If noise or vibration is excessive, stop the pump and refer to the troubleshooting chart for possible causes.
Check the pump strainer screen for clogging caused by stones, sticks, or other debris. Clean the strainer screen when required. In some cases, stopping the pump momentarily may back flush the strainer screen, purging most of the debris from it. If this fails to clean the screen, remove the pump from the sump and remove the debris manu ally (see PUMP END DISASSEMBLY in Section E).
Never introduce air or steam pressure into the pump casing or piping to remove a blockage. This could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment. If backflushing is absolutely neces sary, liquid pressure must be limited to 50% of the maximum permissible operating pressure shown on the pump performance curve (see MAINTE NANCE AND REPAIR, Section E).
Check the pump for overheating. The pump could overheat if operated against a closed discharge valve, or if subjected to repeated start cycles.
OPERATION PAGE C - 3

OM-06520
SM SERIES
COLD WEATHER PRESERVATION
In freezing temperatures, the pump will not freeze as long as it is submerged in liquid. If the pump casing is not submerged, or if the liquid begins to freeze, remove the pump from the sump or wet well and allow it to dry thoroughly. Run the pump for two or three minutes to dry the inner walls.
If the pump freezes, move it into a warm area until completely thawed, or submerge it into the liquid. If the liquid is near freezing, the pump must be sub merged for an extended period of time. Start the pump and check for shaft rotation. if still frozen, al low additional thawing time before attempting to restart.
Do not attempt to thaw the pump by us ing a torch or other source of flame. This could damage gaskets or heat the oil within the pump above the critical point and cause the pump to rupture or ex plode.
LUBRICATION
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges, pipe plugs or fittings from an over heated pump. Vapor pressure within the pump can cause parts being disen gaged to be ejected with great force. Al low the pump to completely cool before servicing.
On a new pump, check the oil level in the seal cav ity before initial startup, after the first two weeks of operation, and every month thereafter.
Before installing or removing the lubrication plug(s), always clean the area around the plug(s) to prevent contamination.
Draining Oil
Refer to the parts list in MAINTENANCE AND RE PAIR, Section E for drain plug location.
Remove the drain plug slowly to release any pres sure. Install a short pipe nipple in the hole. Place a clean container under the plug and using a hoist, tilt the pump at an angle of approximately 60_.
Condition of Oil
Check the condition of the oil drained from the pump. Clear oil indicates that the pump seal(s) are functioning properly. If the oil is milky or contains a small amount of water, it must be changed.
If the oil contains a large amount of water, it must be changed, and the seal(s) must be checked be fore the pump is put back in operation (refer to
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR, Section E).
Adding Oil
Refer to Table B-2 in INSTALLATION for the oil ca pacity and position for filling the seal cavity in the pump.
The grade of lubricant used is critical to the opera tion of this pump. Use premium quality submers ible pump oil as specified in the following table. Oil must be stored in a clean, tightly closed container in a reasonably dry environment.
When lubricating the seal cavity, remove the lubri cation plug as indicated in Draining Oil, and posi tion the pump as indicated in Table B-2 in INSTALLATION. Add premium quality submers ible pump oil (See Table C-1) through this plug hole. If the pump is to be positioned vertically or at an angle, fill the cavity to the bottom of the plug hole. If the pump is to be positioned horizontally, completely fill the cavity.
Install and tighten the lubrication plug.

c. If the voltages are balanced with the pump
off, but are unbalanced when the pump is running, a thorough check of the power source, all interconnecting cables, and the pump motor is required to isolate the defect.
Motor And Motor Power Cable Continuity
To check continuity, zero‐balance the ohmmeter set at the RX1 scale, and test as follows:
a Disconnect the motor power cable leads
from the control box and connect the test leads to any two of the three power cable leads (not to the green ground lead or yellow ground check lead). If there is a high resis tance reading on the ohmmeter, there is an open or broken circuit cause a break in the power cable or motor windings, or by a bad connection between the motor and the pow er cable. Switch one test lead to the third power lead, and test again.
Voltage Imbalance
Each phase of the incoming three‐phase power must be balanced with the other two as accurately as a commercial voltmeter will read. If the phases are balanced, check out the motor as described below. If the phases are out of balance, contact your power company and request that they correct the condition.
a. Use a voltmeter, amprobe, or equivalent me
ter to read the voltage across terminals 1 & 2, 2 & 3, and 1 & 3 in the control box. All three measured voltages must be the same, as accurately as the meter will read. If possible, measure the voltage with the pump off, with the pump running but out of the water, and with the pump running in the water at full load. All the measured voltages at each con dition must be the same.
b. Use an amprobe or equivalent meter to
measure the current draw of each phase while the pump is running at full load and at no load. All three amperage readings must
b. If an open or broken circuit is indicated,
check the power cable for obvious damage, and replace as necessary (see MAINTE NANCE AND REPAIR). If there is no appar ent damage to the motor cable, remove the terminal housing (see MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR) and check the continuity of each power cable lead at the terminal posts.
c. If an open circuit still exists after each lead
(terminal) has been tested and tightened, then the entire motor power cable must be replaced. Splicing or other means of repair are not recommended.
d. If no break is found in the power cable,
check the motor leads for continuity. If the test reading indicates an open or broken cir cuit, there is an open circuit in the motor.
NOTE
It is recommended that a pump with a defective mo tor be returned to Gorman‐Rupp, or to one of the Gorman‐Rupp authorized Submersible Repair en ters.

Insulation Resistance
To check insulation, zero‐balance the ohmmeter set at the RX100K scale, and test as follows:
a. Disconnect the motor power cable leads
from the control box. Connect one test lead to the power cable green ground lead, and touch the other test lead to each of the three power leads in turn.
b. The reading obtained will indicate resis
tance values in both the power cable and the motor windings. If the resistance reading is infinity (1), the insulation is in good condi

tion. If the reading is between infinity (1) and 1 megohm, the insulation is acceptable but should be rechecked periodically. If the reading is less than 1 megohm, the insula tion should be checked more closely; a reading of zero indicates that the power cable or the motor is grounded.
c. To determine whether the power cable or
the motor is grounded, remove the terminal housing (see MAINTENANCE AND RE PAIR), disconnect the motor leads from the motor terminals, and test the power cable leads and motor leads separately.

PUMP END DISASSEMBLY
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, label and decals attached to the pump.
All functions performed by the customer on the pump or control must be done in accordance with MSHA, schedule 2G regulations to ensure the ex plosion‐proof integrity. No alterations of original design may be made without the consent of the Gorman‐Rupp Company and MSHA.
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Make certain that the control handle on the control box is in the off po sition and locked out, or that the power supply to the control box has been otherwise cut off and locked out, before attempting to open or service the pump assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre vent accidental start‐up.
Do not open the control box in an explo sive atmosphere. When sealed, the con trol box is explosion proof to prevent the ignition of combustible gases. Opening the box in an explosive atmosphere could result in fire or explosion.
Before attempting to service the pump or control, terminate the power supply to the control box. Close the discharge throttling valve, if so equipped.
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in good working condition and of suffi cient capacity and that they are posi tioned so that loads will be balanced and the pump or components will not be damaged when lifting. Do not attempt to lift this pump by the motor or control cables, or the piping. Attach proper lift ing equipment to the lifting bail fitted on the pump. Lift the pump or component only as high as necessary and keep per sonnel away from suspended objects.
Use the hoisting bail to remove the pump from the wet well or sump, and move it to a location where the discharge line can be removed. It is not neces sary to disconnect a flexible discharge hose before removing the pump. If rigid discharge piping is used, disconnect the piping before attempting to move the pump.
Select a suitable location, preferably indoors, to perform the degree of maintenance required. If the motor housing is to be opened, the work must be done in a clean, well‐equipped shop. All mainte nance functions must be done by qualified person nel.
Check the chart in TROUBLESHOOTING, Section D of this manual, to determine the nature of the pump problem. If the problem is mechanical in na ture, such as worn pump parts, seal replacement, lubrication, etc., refer to PUMP END DISASSEM BLY for instructions.
If the problem is electrical, complete disassembly may not be required. Refer to Electrical Testing in TROUBLESHOOTING, Section D, and have a qualified electrician check the control box, cable and terminal housing. If the problem is determined to be in the motor, proceed with PUMP END DIS ASSEMBLY, followed by MOTOR DISASSEMBLY. Otherwise, see Terminal Housing And Power Ca
ble Disassembly.
Death or serious personal injury and damage to the pump or components can occur if proper lifting procedures are not observed. Make certain that
PAGE E - 6 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Carefully inspect any O‐rings or gaskets before re moval and cleaning to determine if a proper seal and compression existed prior to disassembly. If sealing was faulty or questionable, the cause must be determined and corrected before reassembly. All gaskets and most O‐rings must be replaced if disturbed. Repair gaskets and O‐rings are listed in the Parts List manual.

If any further disassembly is to be performed on the pump, the seal oil cavity must be drained.
and personnel to safely handle the pump until it is secured. If inverting the pump is not practical, lay the pump on its side and secure it to prevent roll ing.
Impeller Removal
(Figure E-1)
Wedge a soft metal rod between the vanes of the impeller (2) and the studs (34, Figure E-2) to pre vent shaft rotation. Remove the impeller nut (15) and washer (17). Remove the metal rod used to prevent shaft rotation.
Install three 10-32 UNC-2B by 2‐inch long cap screws (not supplied) in the holes in the impeller. Use the capscrews and a suitable puller to pull the impeller from the shaft. Use caution when remov ing the impeller; tension on the seal spring will be released. Retain the impeller key (16).
Remove the impeller adjusting shim set (23). For ease of reassembly, tie and tag the shims or mea sure and record their thickness.
Let the pump cool before removing the seal cavity drain plug. Pressure built up within a hot pump could cause the oil to spray out when the plug is removed. Re move the plug slowly and permit pressure to vent to atmosphere.
With the pump in a vertical position, clean any dirt from around the pipe plug (32, Figure E-2) and re move the plug. Install a short 3/8 inch NPT nipple in the hole. Tip the pump and drain the seal oil into a clean container. Inspect the oil for water, dirt, or cloudy condition which could indicate lower seal failure or poor gasket seal.
Positioning Pump For Disassembly
(Figure E-1)
It is recommended that the pump be positioned upside‐down during disassembly. To hold the pump in the inverted position, screw a pipe into the discharge flange (9) and clamp it in a large vise, or remove the discharge flange and secure the flange studs to a bench or work stand. Be careful not to damage the terminal housing (18, Figure E-2) while in this position. Use adequate equipment
Lower Seal Removal
(Figures E-1 and E-3)
Remove the spring retainer (25) and seal spring. Carefully pull the sleeve (25) and rotating portion of the lower seal assembly off the shaft as a unit.
Remove the spring retainer (26), and seal spring. Carefully pull the sleeve (25) and rotating portion of the lower seal assembly off the shaft as a unit.
Lubricate the sleeve adjacent to the seal, and work oil up under the rubber bellows. Slide the rotating portion of the seal off the sleeve.
See Figure 2 and remove the flat head machine screws (2). Slide the seal plate (1) and the station ary portion of the lower seal assembly off the shaft as a unit. Remove the seal plate O‐ring (33).
Position the seal plate on a flat surface with the im peller side down. Carefully press the stationary portion of the seal out of the seal plate from the back side.
The rotating and stationary seal elements are pre cision finished and subject to wear. The complete seal should be replaced with each overhaul to en

If no further disassembly is required, proceed to the appropriate areas in PUMP END REASSEMB
LY.
Upper Seal Removal
(Figures E-2 and E-3)
The intermediate (30) and upper seal assembly (3) must be removed as a unit to determine if the upper seal assembly is leaking, and to replace the seal if it is leaking.
Carefully pull straight up on the impeller end of the rotor shaft until the assembled intermediate, seal, bearings (5 and 9), and shaft and rotor assembly (8) are free from the motor housing (23).
Inspect the rotor, stator, and inside of the motor housing for evidence of upper seal leakage. If no leakage is observed, the seal can be reused. How ever, if leakage is apparent, the intermediate and seal assembly must be separated from the rotor and shaft assembly. Cover the motor housing with a clean cloth after inspection to prevent contami nation.

Remove the intermediate O‐ring (31).
If no further disassembly is required, proceed to
PUMP END REASSEMBLY.
NOTE
If the motor housing components are to be serv iced, see MOTOR DISASSEMBLY in this section. Do not reassemble the pump end components at this time.
If no further disassembly is required, proceed to
PUMP END REASSEMBLY.
PUMP END REASSEMBLY
NOTE
Reuse of old O‐rings, gaskets, or shaft seal parts will result in premature leakage or reduced pump performance. It is strongly recommended that new gaskets and shaft seal assemblies be used during reassembly (see the parts lists for numbers).
Cleaning and Inspection of Pump Parts
If the seal assembly does not require replacement, proceed to Cleaning And Inspection Of Pump Parts, followed by Upper Seal Installation.
If seal replacement is required, place the interme diate, seal, bearings, and shaft and rotor assembly on a clean, dry work surface, and remove the re taining ring (36) using snap ring pliers. Use caution when removing the retaining ring; tension of the seal spring will be released. Remove the adjusting shims (35). Tie and tag the shims, or measure and record their thickness for ease of reassembly.
Carefully slide the intermediate and seal assembly off the shaft as a unit. Use a hammer and punch (or other suitable tool) to tap the seal assembly out of the intermediate from the back side.
NOTE
The seal assembly will be damaged or destroyed
PAGE E - 8 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Carefully inspect any O‐rings or gaskets before re moval and cleaning to determine if a proper seal and compression existed prior to disassembly. If sealing was faulty or questionable, the cause must be determined and corrected before reassembly. Replace any parts as required.
NOTE
The upper seal assembly will be damaged or de stroyed if removed from the intermediate. If the seal was not removed from the intermediate, clean and inspect all pump end parts as follows, then reinstall the seal assembly and intermediate as a unit.
Thoroughly clean all reusable parts with a soft cloth soaked in cleaning solvent. Use a clean cloth lightly dampened with solvent to clean the lower end of the motor housing, intermediate, and seal plate. Do not allow the solvent to enter the motor.

The seals are not designed for operation at temperatures above 160_F (71_C). Do not use at higher operating temperatures.
If all of the original motor parts are being reused, the same thickness of shims (35) as previously re moved may be installed. However, if new motor parts are being installed that will affect parts “stackup”, or if the thickness of shims removed at disassembly is unknown, it will be necessary to measure the seal bore in the intermediate to deter mine the required shim thickness. This distance is measured from the bottom of the bore in the inter mediate to the motor side of the retaining ring (36). Select the required combination of shims to obtain a seal working height of 0.720 to 0.780.
Lubricate the shaft and the outer edge of the seal assembly with a light coating of oil, and press the seal assembly into the intermediate bore until fully seated. Use a suitably sized sleeve which contacts

motor housing until fully seated. Be careful not to damage the O‐ring. Secure the seal plate to the in termediate with the flat head machine screws (2).
Lower Seal Installation
(Figures E-1 and E-3)
Thoroughly clean the sealing surfaces and seal bore of the the seal plate (1, Figure E-2). The seal bore must be free of burrs and nicks which could damage the seal.
NOTE
When installing seal components, use hand pres sure only. A push tube cut from a length of plastic pipe will aid in installing seal components.
Do not unwrap the seal until time of installation. Cleanliness of seal components is critical, espe cially the seal faces.
Be sure the bore in the seal plate (where the sta tionary seat fits) and rotor shaft are clean, dry, and free of dirt or lint. Inspect the bore for burrs or nicks that might cut the seal O‐ring or prevent a good seal. Apply a light coating of oil to the shaft and seal plate bore.
The lower seal is not normally reused because wear patterns on the finished faces cannot be re aligned during reassembly. This could result in pre mature failure. If necessary to reuse an old seal in an emergency, carefully wash all metallic parts in fresh cleaning solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
Handle the seal parts with extreme care to prevent damage. Be careful not to contaminate precision finished faces; even fingerprints on the faces can shorten seal life. If necessary, clean the faces with a non oil based solvent and a clean, lint‐free tissue. Wipe lightly in a concentric pattern to avoid scratching the faces.
faces to ensure that they are free of any foreign matter.
To ease installation of the seal, lubricate the bel lows and O‐rings with water or a very small amount of light lubricating oil, and apply a drop of light lubricating oil on the finished faces. Assemble the seal as shown in Figure E-3.
NOTE
When pressing seal components onto the impeller shaft, use hand pressure only. A push tube cut from a length of plastic pipe will aid in installing seal components. The I.D. of the push tube should be approximately the same size as the I.D. of the seal spring.
Unpack the stationary seal seat and element. Sub assemble the element into the seat, and place a clean tissue over the seal face. Apply a light coat of oil to the seat O‐ring, and use your fingers to press the seat and element into the bore. Apply equal pressure on opposite sides of the seat until the as sembly bottoms against the bore shoulder. Re move the tissue and inspect the seal face to ensure that it is clean and dry. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean tissue to wipe lightly in a concentric pattern.
Position the seat in the bore with the sealing face up and cover it with a clean tissue. Use your thumbs to press the seat into the bore. Apply equal pressure on opposite sides of the seat until it con tacts the bore shoulder. Remove the tissue and check the sealing face to ensure that it is clean and dry. If cleaning is necessary, use clean tissue to wipe lightly in a concentric pattern.
Unpack the rotating portion of the seal. Be certain the sealing face of the rotating element is free of grit or surface damage. Place a small amount of grease at equal spaces on the back of the element, and assemble the drive grooves of the rotating ele ment into the drive lugs of the bellows retainer. The grease should hold the element in position until the seal is installed.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring, grooves, and other damage that might cause leak age. If any components are worn, replace the com plete seal; never mix old and new seal parts.
If a replacement seal is being used, remove it from the container and inspect the precision finished

Slide the sleeve and rotating portion of the seal over the shaft until the sleeve seats squarely against the shaft shoulder. Continue to press on the seal retainer until the seal slides over the shaft and the seal faces contact.
Slide the seal spring over the shaft and bellows re tainer and install the spring retainer (25).
After the impeller is installed, lubricate the seal cav ity as described in Lubrication at the end of this section.
Impeller Installation
(Figure E-1)
Inspect the impeller (2) for cracks, broken vanes, or wear from erosion, and replace it if damaged.
Install the same thickness of impeller adjusting shims (23) as previously removed onto the rotor shaft. Install the impeller key (16) in the rotor shaft keyway, align the impeller keyway and press the impeller onto the shaft until it seats firmly against the adjusting shims.
For maximum pump efficiency, there should be a clearance of .008 to .015 inch (.20 to .38 mm) be tween the impeller and the suction head (1). Install the suction head with a new O‐ring (12). Apply `Never‐Seez' or equivalent compound to the suc tion head studs and secure the suction head by torquing the hardware (13 and 14) in an alternating pattern to 20 ft. lbs. (240 in. lbs. or 2.8 m. kg.). Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance, then add or remove impeller adjusting shims as required.
NOTE
The impeller and suction head must be fully seated to obtain an accurate face clearance measurement.
Strainer Installation
(Figure E-1)
Inspect the strainer screen for cracks or broken welds. Straighten or reweld as required. Inspect the studs in the motor housing for stripped threads and other damage. Replace and retighten before reassembly.
Install the strainer screen (19) and secure it with the capscrews (18). Tighten the capscrews just enough to draw the strainer screen down tightly, but not tight enough to distort it.
See LUBRICATION and FINAL ASSEMBLY be fore putting the pump back into service.
MOTOR DISASSEMBLY
Disassembly of the motor is rarely required except to replace the motor rotor, stator, bearings, or inter mediate. Do not disassemble the motor unless it is necessary and a clean, well‐equipped shop is available.
NOTE
It is recommended that a pump with a defective mo tor be returned to Gorman‐Rupp, or to one of the Gorman‐Rupp authorized Submersible Repair Centers
Motor repairs must be performed in accor dance with MSHA specifications regarding the permissibility of this equipment. Refer to Installation, Page B-1.
After the impeller clearance has been set, coat the threads of the rotor shaft with `Loctite Threadlocker No. 242' or equivalent compound. Install the impel ler flat washer (17) and nut (25). Immobilize the im peller as described in Impeller Removal and torque the impeller nut to 60 ft. lbs. (720 in. lbs. or 8,3 m. kg.).

the shaft, it is recommended that bearings be cleaned and inspected in place. It is strongly recommended that the bearings be replaced any time the shaft and rotor assembly is removed.
Clean the bearings thoroughly in fresh cleaning solvent. Dry the bearings with filtered compressed air and coat with light oil.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and flammable. Use them only in a well‐vent ilated area free from excessive heat, sparks, and flame. Read and follow all precautions printed on solvent contain ers.
Rotate the bearings by hand to check for rough ness or binding. If rotation is rough, replace the bearings.
Stator Removal
(Figure E-2)
Do not remove the stator (7) unless it is defective (open windings, insulation resistance low, or stator core damaged). If the stator must be removed, re move the terminal housing as indicated in Termi
nal Housing And Power Cable Removal and Disassembly. Disengage the hardware (24 and
25) and remove the lock clip (26). Remove the pipe plug (27) and setscrew (28).
Position an expandable tool, such as a split disc, approximately 2 inches (51 mm) down inside the stator and expand it tightly and squarely on the I.D. Attach a lifting device to the lifting eye of the tool, and raise the assembly approximately one inch off the work surface. Take care not to damage the sta tor end turns. Use a soft‐faced mallet to rap alter nate edges of the motor housing and “walk” the stator out. Continue this process until the stator clears the motor housing.
NOTE
It may be necessary to heat the motor housing to permit stator removal.
These bearings are permanently sealed and require no additional lubrication ex cept a coating of light oil on external sur faces to ease reassembly. External sur faces must be kept free of all dirt and for eign material. Failure to do so could dam age the bearings or their mating surfaces.

housing and intermediate. Replace the shaft and rotor (as an assembly), the intermediate, or the motor housing if the proper bearing fit is not achieved.
If the bearings require replacement, use a suitable puller to remove them from the shaft. Remove the snap ring (6).
Remove the wavy spring washer (10) and motor bushing (4).
After the stator has been removed, wrap it in clean, dry rags or other suitable material. The stator must be kept clean and dry. When handling the stator, do not set it on the end windings; lay it on its side.
Do not attempt to rewind the stator. Wind ing tolerances and materials are closely controlled by the manufacturer, and any deviation can cause damage or operating problems. Replace the stator, or return it to one of the Gorman‐Rupp authorized sub mersible repair centers or the Gor man‐Rupp factory, if defective.
MOTOR REASSEMBLY
NOTE
Reuse of old O‐rings, gaskets, shaft seal parts may result in premature leakage or reduce pump per formance. It is strongly recommended that new

gaskets and shaft seal assemblies be used during reassembly (see the parts lists for numbers).
Stator Installation
(Figure E-2)
Clean all gasket and O‐ring surfaces, completely removing any old gasket and cement material. In spect the sealing surfaces for burrs, nicks and pits which could cause a poor seal, and replace defec tive parts as required.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the motor housing (23) with fresh solvent. The interior must be dry and free of dirt or lint.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and flammable. Use them only in a well‐vent ilated area free from excessive heat, sparks, and flame. Read and follow all precautions printed on solvent contain ers.
Do not unpack the stator until the motor housing has been prepared for stator installation. The sta tor must be kept clean and dry. When handling the stator, do not set it on the end windings. Lay it on its side and block it from rolling.
Test the new stator as indicated in Electrical Test ing in TROUBLESHOOTING, Section D, to ensure that no damage has occurred during transit or han dling.
“cocks” in the motor housing, remove it and try again. If necessary, heat the motor housing with a torch to expand it enough for the stator to be in stalled; when heating the motor housing, make certain that the stator is clear to avoid damage to the windings. Apply heat evenly to the inside of the motor housing; excessive heat is not required. Be careful not to damage the stator lead insulation during reassembly.
After the stator is fully and squarely seated on the motor housing shoulder, remove the expandable disc tool and untape or remove the protective sleeve from the stator leads. Install and tighten the setscrew (28) securing the stator in place. Torque the setscrew to 7.5 ft. lbs. (90 in. lbs. or 1 m. kg.). Apply `Loctite Pipe Sealant With Teflon No. 592' on the threads of the pipe plug (27) and install it over the setscrew. Secure the pipe plug with the lock clip (26) and hardware (24 and 25).
Cover the motor housing with a clean, lint‐free cloth while the rotor is being assembled.
Shaft And Rotor Installation
(Figure E-2)
Inspect the rotor shaft for damaged threads, scor ing in the seal area, and a nicked or damaged keyway. If the bearings were removed, inspect the bearing areas for scoring or galling. Remove nicks and burrs with a fine file or emery cloth. Inspect the rotor area for separated laminations. If the shaft is bent or damaged, or if the laminations are sepa rated, replace the shaft and rotor (a single assem bly).
Install the snap ring (6) in the groove on the shaft.
Position an expandable tool, such as a split disc, approximately 2 inches (51 mm) down inside the stator, and expand it tightly and squarely on the I.D. Attach a lifting device to the lifting eye of the tool, and carefully lift the assembly. Take care not to damage the stator end turns. Slip a sleeve over the stator leads, or tape them together to protect them during installation.
With the motor housing in an inverted position, po sition the stator so that the leads are in line with the terminal opening, and carefully lower the stator into the motor housing until it bottoms. If the stator

To prevent damage during removal from the shaft, it is recommended that bearings be cleaned and inspected in place. It is strongly recommended that the bearings be replaced any time the shaft and rotor assembly is removed.
The bearings may be heated to ease installation. An induction heater, hot oil bath, electric oven, or hot plate may be used to heat the bearings. Bear

ings should never be heated with a direct flame or directly on a hot plate.
NOTE
If a hot oil bath is used to heat the bearings, both the oil and the container must be absolutely clean. If the oil has been previously used, it must be thor oughly filtered.
Heat the bearings to a uniform temperature no higher than 250_F (120_C) and slide the bearings
onto the shaft, one at a time, until they are fully seated. This should be done quickly, in one con tinuous motion, to prevent the bearings from cool ing and sticking on the shaft.
Use caution when handling hot bear ings to prevent burns.
After the bearings have been installed and allowed to cool, check to ensure that they have not moved away from the shaft shoulders in shrinking. If movement has occurred, use a suitable sized sleeve and a press to reposition the bearings against the shaft shoulders.
If heating the bearings is not practical, use a suit able sized sleeve, and an arbor (or hydraulic) press to install the bearings on the shaft.
Terminal Housing And Power Cable Reassembly And Installation
(Figure E-2)
The electrical power used to operate this pump is high enough to cause inju ry or death. Make certain that the control handle on the control box is in the off po sition and locked out, or that the power supply to the control box has been otherwise cut off and locked out, before attempting to open or service the pump assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre vent accidental startup. Obtain the ser vices of a qualified electrician, and refer to the wiring diagram(s) in Installation, Section B, to make electrical connec tions.
Clean the exterior of the power cable with warm water and mild detergent, and check for obvious physical damage. Check the cable for continuity and insulation resistance (see Electrical Testing in TROUBLESHOOTING). Do not attempt repairs except to cut off either end of the cable; splicing is not recommended. Reinstall any wire tags or ter minals which may have been removed.
When installing the bearings onto the shaft, never press or hit against the outer race, balls, or ball cage. press only on the inner race.
Install the wavy spring washer (10) in the bottom of the motor housing bearing bore. Carefully lower the rotor and shaft and assembled bearings into the motor housing until the upper bearing (9) seats squarely against the wavy washer.
Refer to Upper Seal Installation in PUMP END REASSEMBLY for installation of the intermediate and upper seal assembly.
PAGE E - 16 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Never attempt to alter the length or re pair any power cable with a splice. The pump motor and cable must be com pletely waterproof. Injury or death may result from alterations.
Use oil to lightly lubricate the outside of the pump power cable (14) and the I.D. of the rubber cable grip bushing for ease of assembly. Slide the cable grip nut onto the cable. Compress the wire mesh on the cable grip, and slide it onto the cable, allow ing approximately 1 ft. of cable to extend beyond the mesh. Slide the rubber cable grip bushing and cable grip body onto the cable. Apply `Loctite Pipe Sealant With Teflon No. 592' or equivalent com

pound on the tapered pipe threads of the cable grip body.
Feed the pump power cable leads into the terminal housing (18) and screw the cable grip body into the threaded housing bore until tight. Slide the ca ble grip bushing down the power cable into the ta pered top of the grip body. Be sure there is suffi cient cable lead length to permit wire connection, and that the trimmed end of the outer cable insula tion is recessed approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) in the bottom of the grip body. This creates a reservoir in the bottom of the cable grip into which the power cable sealant can be applied.
Compress the wire mesh of the cable grip as sembly and slide it down the cable until it seats on top of the rubber bushing. Tighten the cable grip nut on the cable body.

material a minimum of 1 hour to dry (or until a skin forms on the adhesive). This must be done before testing or final assembly.
Install a new O‐ring (19) on the terminal housing. Refer to the wiring diagram in INSTALLATION, Section B, then connect the correct power cable leads to the stator leads with the connectors (22). Be sure the orange and blue cable leads are con nected to the red coded (thermal overload) stator leads. After installing the connectors, wrap each connection with underwater tape (G‐R part num ber 18666-068) to seal it and prevent the connec tor from working loose. Start the tape between the connectors and double back, then stretch the tape and wrap it around all of the leads and connectors.
Install the terminal housing in the motor housing and secure with the hardware (12 and 13). Be care ful not to cut or damage the O‐ring (19). Tighten the capscrews evenly and alternately around the ter minal housing, and torque them to 11 ft. lbs. (132 in. lbs. or 1.5 m. kg.).
The cable leads must be sealed in the cable grip body to prevent moisture from entering the motor. When shipped from the factory, the power cable leads were sealed in the cable grip body and termi nal housing with adhesive. If a replacement cable is being installed, the power cable must be resealed in the terminal housing.
Do not attempt to operate this pump un less the power cable leads are properly sealed in the terminal housing. Mois ture entering the terminal housing could cause a short circuit, resulting in pump damage and possible serious in jury or death to personnel.
To seal the power cable leads, secure the terminal housing upside‐down, and use `Dow Corning Silic on Adhesive No. 737' to seal around all leads where they enter the terminal housing. Do not al low any air pockets, voids or gaps. Do not apply more than a 1/4“ (6,3 mm) thick layer and allow the
The cable grip must be retained to the terminal housing as follows to retain permissibility for this equipment. Fail ure to seal the parts as specified may re sult in explosion.
Make sure the cable grip body is tight in the termi
nal housing and secure it to the terminal housing as follows (see Figure E-4).
a. There are two tapped holes in the terminal
housing located 90_ apart. One hole will be used for installing the long locking setscrew (17); the other will be plugged with the short setscrew (39). Apply `Loctite Pipe Sealant With Teflon No. 592' to both setscrews before installation.
Make sure the cable grip body is tight in the terminal housing. Note the location of the tapped hole which is blocked by the hex body. Unscrew the hex body until the hole is clear, and install the small setscrew (39).
Retighten the cable grip body, and install the longer setscrew (17) which locks the body in place.

LUBRICATION
Seal Cavity
Check the oil level in the seal cavity before initial startup, after the first two weeks of operation, and every month thereafter.
Check the oil level only when the pump is cool. If the oil level plug is removed when the pump is hot, pressure in the seal cavity can cause hot oil to be ejected as the plug is removed.
To check the seal cavity oil, lay the pump on its side with the level plug up. Remove the plug, and screw
