OM-07167SF SERIES

PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY - SECTION A

This information applies to the SF Se

ries submersible pump indicated on the

front cover of this manual.

In addition to this manual, see the sepa

rate literature covering the control box,

control accessories or other equipment

shipped with this pump.

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 install, operate, or

service this pump, familiarize yourself

with this manual, and with all other liter

ature shipped with the pump. Unfamil

iarity with all aspects of pump operation

covered in this manual could lead to de

struction of equipment, injury, or death.

This pump is designed to handle raw

sewage and industrial wastes at tem

peratures of 104_F (40_C); Do not apply

at higher temperatures. Do not attempt

to pump volatile, flammable, or corro

sive liquids which may damage the

pump or endanger personnel as a result

of pump failure.

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.

The following precautions should be

taken before attempting to open or ser

vice the pump; otherwise, injury or

death could result.

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).

Do not connect the pump motor directly

to the incoming power lines. The pump

motor is designed to operate through a

Gorman‐Rupp approved control box

which provides overload protection and

power control; otherwise, the pump

warranty will be voided. Make certain

that the pump and control box are prop

erly grounded and that the incoming

power matches the requirements of the

pump and controls. Install and operate

the control box in accordance with the

National Electric Code and all local

codes. Failure to follow the instructions

SF SERIESOM-07167

PAGE A-2 SAFETY

in this warning could result in injury or

death to personnel.

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.

The electrical power used to operate

this pump is high enough to cause inju

ry or death. Obtain the services of a

qualified electrician to make all electri

cal 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. If the overload unit is tripped

during pump operation, correct the

problem before restarting the pump.

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

position and locked out, or that the pow

er 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.

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.

All electrical connections must be in ac

cordance with The National Electric

Code and all local codes. If there is a

conflict between the instructions pro

vided and N.E.C. Specifications, N.E.C.

Specifications shall take precedence.

All electrical equipment supplied with

this pump was in conformance with

N.E.C. requirements in effect on the

date of manufacture. Failure to follow

applicable specifications, or substitu

tion of electrical parts not supplied or

approved by the manufacturer, can re

sult in severe injury or death and void

warranty.

OM-07167SF SERIES

PAGE A - 3SAFETY

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are secure before op

eration.

Approach the pump cautiously after it

has been running. Although the motor is

cooled by dispersing heat through the

motor housing cooling fins into the liq

uid being pumped, normal operating

temperatures can still be high enough

to cause burns. The temperature will be

especially high if operated against a

closed discharge valve. Never operate

against a closed discharge valve for

long periods of time.

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.

If this pump is used to handle sewage,

take necessary precautions during

maintenance and repair to prevent per

sonal contamination which could result

in illness.

Pumps and related equipment must be

installed and operated according to all na

tional, local and industry standards.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section is intended only to summarize general rec

ommendations and practices required to inspect,

position, and arrange the pump and piping. If there

are any questions concerning your specific instal

lation, contact your Gorman‐Rupp distributor or

the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

The motor in these pumps is not designed

to be operated in air for more than 10 min

utes without overheating. The pumps must

be operated through liquid level controls to

maintain the level of liquid in the wet well so

that power to the motor is cut off when liq

uid falls below the midpoint of the motor

housing.

Automatic liquid level controls are available from

Gorman‐Rupp as options. For information on in

stalling and operating these controls, see the tech

nical data accompanying them.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

check for damage which may have occurred dur

ing 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.

c. Inspect the power cable for cuts or any other

obvious damage.

d. Check that amperes, phase, voltage, and

hertz indicated on the motor name plate

match the ratings on the control box and in

coming power.

e. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings

on the pump assembly, and perform all duties

indicated.

f. Check for any oil leaks. If there is any indica

tion of an oil leak, see LUBRICATION in

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR - SECTION

PUMP SEALS

This pump is equipped with two mechanical seals.

The lower seal is lubricated by the liquid being

pumped and prevents the liquid from entering the

seal housing cavity from the pump end. The upper

seal prevents oil from escaping from the seal hous

ing into the motor housing and acts as backup pro

tection in the event of lower seal failure.

LUBRICATION

The seal cavity is fully lubricated when shipped

from the factory. However, the lubrication level

must be checked before installing the pump (see

LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

- SECTION E). If the oil level is abnormally low, de

termine the cause before putting the pump into

service.

The shaft bearings are permanently lubricated.

There is no other lubrication in the pump.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Lifting

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.

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.

Positioning the Pump

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.

This pump may be mounted on guide rails or

cables for use with optional discharge elbow/base

plate kits, or it may be mounted on a trash stand

with an optional discharge elbow.

If the pump is configured for a guide rail/guide

cable application, the pump will be equipped with

a rail guide shoe which connects to the discharge

optional elbow/baseplate. When lowered into

place, the pump is automatically and securely con

nected to the elbow/baseplate and the piping sys

tem. For information on installing the guide rails,

see the literature accompanying them.

NOTE

When engaging the guide shoe and elbow/base

plate, make sure that the connection is not impeded

by mounting hardware, and that the guide shoe is

fully seated in the baseplate.

To install a pump configured for a guide rail/guide

cable application, engage the guide shoe at the

top of the guide rails and use a suitable lifting de

vice attached to the lifting handle to lower the

pump into the wet well. When the pump and guide

shoe engages the discharge elbow/baseplate, it

will form an automatic seal.

If the pump is mounted on a trash stand, secure a

discharge hose or pipe to the optional discharge

elbow and use a suitable lifting device attached to

the lifting handle to lower the pump into the wet

well.

Make certain that the pump and stand sit level in

the wet well.

Regardless of the installation configuration, the

maximum recommended submergence depth

is 65 feet (20 meters).
