INTRODUCTION

This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance

manual is designed to help you achieve the best

performance and longest life from your Gorman‐

Rupp pump.

This is a D Series, positive displacement pump util

izing a single‐action diaphragm to produce a

straight‐through flow of liquid. The pump is ideally

suited to industrial and contractor's applications

since it will handle liquids ranging from clear water

to construction‐site muck. The basic material of

construction for wetted parts is aluminum, with

neoprene flap valves and diaphragm.

If there are any questions regarding the pump or

its application which are not covered in this man

ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,

please contact your Gorman‐Rupp distributor, or

write:

Because pump installations are seldom identical,

this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in

structions and precautions for every aspect of

each specific application. Therefore, it is the re

sponsibility 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 com

promised by the installation. Pumps and related

equipment must be installed and operated ac

cording to all national, local and industry stan

dards.

The following are used to alert maintenance per

sonnel to procedures which require special atten

tion, to those which could damage equipment, and

to those which could be dangerous to personnel:

Immediate hazards which WILL result in

severe personal injury or death. These

instructions describe the procedure re

quired and the injury which will result

from failure to follow the procedure.

Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in severe personal injury

or death. These instructions describe

the procedure required and the injury

which could result from failure to follow

the procedure.

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD

result in minor personal injury or product

or property damage. These instructions

describe the requirements and the possi

ble damage which could result from failure

PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A

This information applies to D Series

electric motor driven diaphragm

pumps. Refer to the manual accompa

nying the motor before attempting to

begin operation.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Lock out incoming power to the

motor to ensure that the pump will

remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Close the discharge valve (if

used).

5. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle non‐

volatile non‐flammable liquids contain

ing specified entrained solids. Do not

attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or

flammable liquids which may damage

the pump or endanger personnel as a

result of pump failure.

After the pump has been installed, block

the wheels and secure the pump to pre

vent creeping. Make certain that the

pump and all piping or hose connec

tions are tight, properly supported and

secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump without the ec

centric and coupling guards in place

over the rotating parts. Exposed rotat

ing parts can catch clothing, fingers, or

tools, causing severe injury to person

nel.

The gearbox provided on this pump is

designed for operation at 1750 RPM

maximum input speed. If operated at a

higher RPM, pump components may be

destroyed.

Do not install and operate a non‐explo

sion proof motor in an explosive atmo

sphere. Install, connect, and operate

the motor in accordance with the Na

tional Electric Code and all local codes.

If there is a conflict between the instruc

tions in the manual accompanying the

unit and the National Electric Code or

the applicable local code, the National

or local code shall take precedence.

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 motor are properly

grounded; never use gas pipe as an

electrical ground. Be sure that the in

coming power matches the voltage and

D SERIESOM-01510

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

phase of the pump and motor before

connecting the power source. Do not

run the pump if the voltage is not within

the limits.

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. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

All electrical connections must be in ac

cordance with the National Electric

Code. If there is a conflict between the

instructions provided and N.E.C. speci

fications, N.E.C. specifications shall

take precedence. All electrical equip

ment supplied with this pump was in

conformance with N.E.C. requirements

in effect on the date of manufacture.

Failure to follow applicable specifica

tions, or substitution of electrical parts

not supplied or approved by the man

ufacturer, can result in severe injury or

death.

Never install a positive shut‐off valve in the

discharge line; discharge restrictions will

cause excessive friction loss resulting in

overloading and destruction of pump and

drive components. It is strongly recom

mended that unless absolutely necessary,

no positive shut‐off valve be installed in the

suction line; excessive restriction will

cause incomplete filling of the diaphragm

chamber and result in shortened dia

phragm life.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

inspect the pump for damage which may have oc

curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump 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 sur

faces.

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 per

form duties as instructed.

e. If the pump and motor 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

OM-01510 D SERIES

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

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.

POSITIONING PUMP

Lifting

This pump is designed to be easily positioned for

operation using the drawbar and wheels. The total

pump weight is approximately 370 pounds (167,8

kg), not including accessories. Customer installed

equipment such as suction and discharge piping

must be removed before attempting to lift.

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. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

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.

After the pump has been positioned, block the

wheels and secure the pump to prevent creeping.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See Page E‐1 to be sure your overall

application allows the 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.

Never pull a line into place by tightening connec

tions at the pump. Lines near the pump must be in

dependently supported to avoid strain on the

pump which could cause excessive vibration and

increased diaphragm and gear train wear. If hose‐

type lines are used, they should have adequate

support to secure them when filled with liquid and

under pressure.

Fixed, Rigid Piping

This pump is equipped with an integral suction ac

cumulator chamber which promotes an efficient

flow of liquid and acts as an air cushion against

shock. Since the air in this chamber will leak away

during pump operation, the air must be replen

ished periodically. To introduce air into the cham

ber, stop the pump and remove the suction accu

mulator plug and integral gasket; this will break

prime and allow the liquid in the chamber to drain

away through the suction line.

If the pump is mounted in a system with fixed, rigid

piping, it is recommended that a flexible connec

D SERIES OM-01510

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

tion be installed at or near the suction and dis

charge ports to absorb shock which would other

wise be transmitted through the drive train and

greatly accelerate pump wear.

In a fixed piping installation, properly sized surge

suppressors must be installed in both suction and

discharge lines. If commercial surge suppressors

are not readily available, air chambers may be fab

ricated from pipe as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: INSTALL AIR CHAMBERS OFF FLOW LINE TEES

TO AVOID SURFACE TURBULENCE WITHIN CHAMBERS.

Figure 2. Fixed Piping Installation

Note that the air chambers have not been installed

directly in the flow line, but have been installed off

tees to avoid turbulence within the chambers. The

air chambers are fitted with valves to permit intro

duction of small amounts of compressed air to fur

ther dampen shock; this compressed air will leak

away during operation, and should be replaced

from time to time. If the suction chamber floods,

open the suction chamber valve to break prime

and allow the liquid in chamber to drain through

the suction line.

Gauges

If discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges

are desired, 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 prim

ing, 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.

NOTE

Maximum pump performance is realized at suction

lifts of 5 feet (1,5 m) or less. Use the shortest possi

ble length of suction hose or piping; lengths of 25

feet (7,6 m) or longer will reduce the capacity of the

pump.

It is strongly recommended that no positive shut‐

off valve be installed in the suction line; excessive

restrictions will cause incomplete filling of the dia

phragm chamber and result in short diaphragm

life.

OM-01510 D SERIES

PAGE B - 4 INSTALLATION

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 in

stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. The suction line

should not be restricted more than 1 inch below the

nominal suction size.

The use of pipe couplings in the suction line is not

recommended.

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

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 2‐1/4 inch

(57 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.

DISCHARGE LINES

The discharge line must be the same size

as, or larger than, the suction line. Never in

stall or operate the pump with a discharge

line smaller than the suction; a restricted

discharge line will cause excessive friction

loss resulting in overloading and destruc

tion of pump and drive components.

Valves

The pump is provided with integral suction and dis

charge check valves.

Never install a positive shut‐off valve in the

discharge line; discharge restrictions will

cause excessive friction loss resulting in

overloading and destruction of pump and

drive components. It is strongly recom

mended that unless absolutely necessary,

no positive shut‐off valve be installed in the

suction line; excessive restriction will

cause incomplete filling of the diaphragm

chamber and result in shortened dia

phragm life.

ALIGNMENT

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Shut off incoming power to the mo

tor and lock it out to ensure that the

pump will remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Close the discharge valve (if

used).

5. Drain the pump.

It is imperative that alignment be checked

before the pump is operated.
