0 SERIES OM-01096 INTRODUCTION Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp pump. Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely install and operate your pump. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the pump. This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual is designed to help you achieve the best performance and longest life from your Gorman‐ Rupp pump.
0 SERIES OM-01096 SAFETY - SECTION A This information applies to 0 Series electric motor driven pumps. Refer to the manual accompanying the motor before attempting to begin operation. This manual will alert personnel to known procedures which require spe cial attention, to those which could damage equipment, and to those which could be dangerous to personnel.
OM-01096 0 SERIES the applicable local code, the National or local code shall take precedence. Because this pump is designed to han dle volatile and/or flammable liquids, overheating may produce dangerous fumes. Take precautions to ensure the area surrounding the pump is ade quately ventilated. Allow the pump to cool and use extreme caution when venting the pump, or when removing covers, plates, plugs, or fittings.
0 SERIES OM-01096 INSTALLATION - SECTION B 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 ar range the pump and piping. Most of the information pertains to a standard static lift application where the pump is posi tioned above the free level of liquid to be pumped.
OM-01096 0 SERIES 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 and motor 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.
0 SERIES 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.
OM-01096 0 SERIES If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into the sump, and air entering the suction line will re duce pump efficiency. If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the suction inlet at a distance 1 1/2 times the diameter of the suction pipe.
0 SERIES OM-01096 A check valve in the discharge line is normally rec ommended, but it is not necessary in low dis charge head applications. With high discharge heads, it is recommended that a throttling valve and a system check valve be in stalled in the discharge line to protect the pump from excessive shock pressure and reverse rota tion when it is stopped. If the application involves a high discharge head, gradually close the discharge throttling valve before stopping the pump.
OM-01096 0 SERIES OPERATION - SECTION C Review all SAFETY information in Section A. Follow the instructions on all tags, labels and decals attached to the pump. This pump is designed to handle petro leum products and other industrial liq uids that do not contain large entrained solids. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable liquids which may damage the pump or endanger per sonnel as a result of pump failure.
OM-01096 0 SERIES OPERATION Leakage Lines With a Bypass No leakage should be visible at pump mating sur faces, or at pump connections or fittings. Keep all line connections and fittings tight to maintain maxi mum pump efficiency. Since this pump does not have a suction check valve, the discharge end of the bypass line must be submerged in order to maintain suction.
OM-01096 0 SERIES 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. Pump Vacuum Check With the pump inoperative, install a vacuum gauge in the system, using pipe dope on the threads. Block the suction line and start the pump. At oper ating speed the pump should pull a vacuum of 20 inches (508,0 mm) or more of mercury.
0 SERIES OM-01096 TROUBLESHOOTING - SECTION D Review all SAFETY information in Section A. Before attempting to open or service the pump: 1. Familiarize yourself with this manual. 2. Disconnect the incoming power to the motor and lock it out to ensure that the pump will remain inopera tive. 3. Allow the pump to completely cool if overheated. 4. Check the temperature before open ing any covers, plates, or plugs. 5. Close the suction and discharge valves. 6. Vent the pump slowly and cautiously. 7.
OM-01096 0 SERIES TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE PUMP STOPS OR FAILS TO DELIVER RATED FLOW OR PRESSURE (cont.) Strainer clogged. Suction intake not submerged at proper level or sump too small. PROBABLE REMEDY Check strainer and clean if neces sary. Check installation and correct sub mergence as needed. Impeller or other wearing parts worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged parts. Check that impeller is properly centered and rotates freely. Impeller clogged. Free impeller of debris.
0 SERIES OM-01096 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Since pump applications are seldom identical, and pump wear is directly affected by such things as the abrasive qualities, pressure and temperature of the liquid being pumped, this section is intended only to provide general recommendations and practices for preventive maintenance. Regardless of the application however, following a routine pre ventive maintenance schedule will help assure trouble‐free performance and long life from your Gorman‐Rupp pump.
OM-01096 0 SERIES PUMP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR - SECTION E MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE WEARING PARTS OF THE PUMP WILL MAINTAIN PEAK OPERATING PERFORMANCE. T‐5‐9‐77 STANDARD PERFORMANCE FOR PUMP MODELS 02C3-X1.5 3P Based on 70 F (21 C) clear water (corrected to .80 specific gravity) at sea level with minimum suc tion lift. Since pump installations are seldom identi cal, your performance may be different due to such factors as viscosity, specific gravity, elevation, tem perature, and impeller trim.

OM-01096 0 SERIES PARTS LIST Pump Model 02C3-X1.5 3P (From S/N 254340 Up) If your pump serial number is followed by an “N”, your pump is NOT a standard production model. Contact the Gorman‐Rupp Company to verify part numbers. ITEM NO.
OM-01096 PUMP AND SEAL DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY Review all SAFETY information in Section A. Follow the instructions on all tags, label and decals attached to the pump. This pump requires little service due to its rugged, minimum‐maintenance design. However, if it be comes necessary to inspect or replace the wearing parts, follow these instructions which are keyed to the sectional view (see Figure 1) and the accompa nying parts list.
0 SERIES OM-01096 charge hoses and piping must be re moved from the pump before lifting. Impeller Removal For access to the impeller (2), disengage the screws (5) and remove the vane plate (19). Immo bilize the impeller by inserting a bar between the impeller vanes, being careful not to damage the vanes. Disengage the impeller nut (21). Immobilize the motor shaft by inserting a large flat head screwdriver into the slot in the end of the shaft in the front end of the motor.
