SAFETY − SECTION A

This information apply to the VG Series

basic pumps. Gorman-Rupp has no

control over or particular knowledge of

the power source which will be used.

Refer to the manual accompanying the

power source before attempting to be-

gin operation.

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. Disconnect or lock out the power

source 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 cau-

tiously.

7. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle liquids

containing specified entrained solids.

Do not attempt to pump volatile, corro-

sive, or flammable materials which may

damage the pump or endanger person-

nel as a result of pump failure.

After the pump has been positioned,

make certain that the pump and all pip-

ing connections are tight, properly sup-

ported and secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump without the

guards in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-

ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in-

jury to personnel.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve for long periods

of time. If operated against a closed dis-

charge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come

to a boil, build pressure, and cause the

pump casing to rupture or explode.
