install and operate your pump. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or damage to the
pump.
This manual will alert personnel to known proce
dures which require special attention, to those
which could damage equipment, and to those
which could be dangerous to personnel. However,
this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide
detailed precautions for every situation that might
occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it
is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per
sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main
tenance procedures are used, and that any proce
dures not addressed in this manual are performed
only after establishing that neither personal safety
nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac
tices.
These pumps are 0 Series, enclosed impeller, self‐
priming centrifugal models, with straight‐in suction
without a suction check valve. They are designed
for vehicular mounting in petroleum service.
The pumps are close‐coupled to an integral, 1750
RPM (06C) or 19000 RPM (06D) split‐shaft gearbox
speed increaser with a 2.56:1 ratio. Power is trans
mitted to the gearbox through a customer‐installed
universal shaft assembly.

SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to 0 Series
split‐shaft refueler pumps. Gorman‐
Rupp has no control over or particular
knowledge of the truck chassis which
will be used. Refer to the manual ac
companying the truck before attempt
ing to begin 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. Switch off the vehicle ignition and
remove the key, or take other ac
tion to ensure that the pump will re
main 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 for vehicular
mounting in petroleum service. Do not
attempt to pump corrosive materials, or
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
If this pump is used with volatile and/or
flammable liquids, be certain proper
safety practices are followed before op
erating or servicing the pump. Provide
adequate ventilation, prohibit smoking,
wear static resistant clothing and
shoes. Clean up all fuel spills immedi
ately after occurrence.
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.
If this pump is used with volatile and/or
flammable liquids, overheating may
produce dangerous fumes. Take pre
cautions to ensure the area surrounding
the pump is adequately ventilated. Al
low the pump to cool and use extreme
caution when venting the pump, or
when removing covers, plates, plugs, or
fittings.
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 cool before servicing.
After the vehicle is positioned for pump
maintenance, block the wheels and set
the emergency brake before attempting
to disconnect the drive shaft or remove
the pump. Be sure the pump is properly
reinstalled and secure before opera
tion.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Limit the maximum input
speed and operating range as indicated
on the Performance Curve on Page E‐1.
The gearbox provided on this pump is
designed for operation at a maximum in
put speed of 1750 RPM (06C) or 1900
RPM (06D). If operated at a higher RPM,
pump or gearbox components may be
destroyed.
Decals and tags vital to pump operation
were shipped loose with the pump. Affix
these decals in a prominent place vis
ible to the pump operator.
Never Run the pump dry of pumping me
dium. There must be a supply of liquid to
the pump at all times to prevent destruction
of the shaft seal faces.
This pump has been shipped dry of gear
box lubrication, except for a residual coat
ing from the testing process of 90 weight
gear oil and Dow Corning “MolykoteM
Gear Guard” (an anti‐wear additive, con
sisting of molybdenum disulphide solid lu
bricants suspended in petroleum oil). The
gearbox must be lubricated before the
pump is operated (see LUBRICATION in
Section E).

OM-031790 SERIES

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.
Do not test or operate this pump and in
tegral gearbox before reading the in
stallation and operation instructions in
this manual.
This pump is an 0 Series, semi‐enclosed impeller,
self‐priming centrifugal model with straight‐in suc
tion, and an integral split‐shaft gearbox assembly.
The pump is designed for vehicular mounting in
petroleum service, where the liquid is supplied to
the pump under pressure. The gearbox replaces a
part of the main drive shaft connecting the trans
mission to the rear axle.
This design permits full utilization of engine power
to selectively operate either the pump or the rear
driving wheels on the vehicle. Both cannot be op
erated at the same time.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
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 gearbox 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. Note the direction of rotation indi
cated on the pump. Check that the pump
shaft rotates in the required direction.
Only operate this pump in the direction in
dicated on the gearbox and/or the accom
panying decal. Reverse rotation of the
shaft will adversely effect pump perform
ance, and the pump and/or gearbox could
be seriously damaged.
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 gearbox 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.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
The following instructions apply equally to new in
stallations, rebuilds or retrofits.
After installation, do not attempt to test run
or operate the pump and integral gearbox
before reading OPERATION, Section B.
The gearbox was shipped dry of lubrica
tion, except for a residual coating from the
testing process of 90 weight gear oil and
Dow Corning `MolykoteM Gear Guard'
(an anti‐wear additive, consisting of mo
lybdenum disulphide solid lubricants sus
pended in petroleum oil). Lubricate the
gearbox as instructed in LUBRICATION,
Section E before attempting to operate the
pump.
Tank Preparation
It is essential that any tank scale, dirt, or other for
eign material be removed from the tank and piping
prior to pump installation. Failure to do so could re
sult in clogging or damage to the pump.
Damage to the pump resulting from debris
in the suction line will not be covered by the
pump warranty.
Before connecting the suction and dis
charge piping, carefully check the storage
tank and piping for construction debris
such as nuts, bolts, wire, weld slag, and
other foreign material. Install a commer
cially available 80 mesh screen in the suc
tion line to prevent debris from entering the
pump.
Brake Installation
When shifting from vehicle drive to pump
mode, or vice versa, input shaft rotation
must be limited to no less than 2 RPM or
no more than 15 RPM at the time of the
shift. Stopping the input shaft entirely may
cause a “butt‐shift” condition, which will
prevent the shift from occurring. Shaft rota
tion in excess of 15 RPM causes raking of
the gears. Either of these conditions can
damage gears, resulting in premature
gearbox failure.
Vehicles with automatic transmissions should be
equipped with a brake on the transmission shaft to
slow, but not stop, shaft rotation during shifting.
Air Cylinder Pressure
For proper operation of the gearbox, the air shift
device requires air pressure of 70 to 140 psi (5,1 to
10,2 kg/cm) at the gearbox. See Gear Shift Con
nections for further information.
POSITIONING PUMP
Lifting
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.
The pump assembly can be seriously
damaged if the cables or chains used to lift
and move the unit are improperly wrapped
around the pump.
Due to the confined mounting location,
specialized equipment such as a transmis

OM-031790 SERIES
PAGE B - 5INSTALLATION
sion jack with custom brackets should be
used to lift and position the pump and
gearbox.
Mounting Location
The following factors must be considered when se
lecting a mounting location for the pump.
a. Mounting brackets
b. Universal joint angles
c. Shift linkage
d. Piping
e. Ground clearance
f. Accessibility of pump and gearbox for service..
Any damage to the pump or gearbox resulting from
improper mounting and installation is not covered
by the Gorman‐Rupp Warranty.
Mounting Brackets
The customer must furnish two cross members
which fit between the vehicle chassis side rails (see
Figure 2). They must be heavy enough to support
the weight of the pump assembly and provide easy
access for pump maintenance.
Secure the rear cross member rigidly to the pump
and gearbox using a fabricated mounting bracket
(customer‐furnished). The mounting bracket must
fasten to the threaded holes located in the pump
casing above the pump suction, and in the top of
the gearbox housing. The bracket and cross mem
ber must not obstruct pump operation or impede
removal of the pump casing during maintenance.
The rear cross member or mounting
bracket must not interfere with movement
of the air shift indicator shaft (located on
top of the gearbox). If necessary, drill a
1.25 inch (31,8 mm) diameter hole through
the cross member or bracket to provide
clearance.

The drive input end of the gearbox is fitted with a
trunnion which prevents chassis frame twist from
being transmitted through the gearbox. Mount the
trunnion to the front cross member (not supplied)
to support the drive input end of the pump. When
mounting the trunnion, make certain that it will not
interfere with the input drive flange. The trunnion
mounting foot must be directed toward the input
flange.
Position the cross members and mounted pump
on the side rails of the chassis. The cross members
must be mounted with rubber or other vibration‐
dampening material when secured to the side
rails.
Do not secure the cross members to the side rails
before establishing the exact location and position
of the air shift rod and shift indicator connections.
Be careful not to put the pump in a bind from front
to rear during mounting. Improper alignment could
result in bearing or gear failure, or gearbox break
age (see Drive Shaft Alignment).
Drive Flanges
The input and output shafts on the gearbox (2-3/4
inch, 10‐spline) are equipped with heavy‐duty
Dana 1810 Series flanges. The shaft splines are
designed to produce a tight interference fit with the
drive flange. This fit is intentional to eliminate fret
ting corrosion.
For instructions on removing and installing the
flanges, see the specific areas in MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR, Section E.
DRIVE SHAFT AND
LINKAGE CONNECTIONS
Drive Shaft Alignment
To promote maximum universal joint and bearing
life, the universal joint angles must be kept to a
minimum. A joint angle of 1 degree is required for
proper needle bearing circulation, but excessive
angles cause accelerated wear and require a lower
maximum operating speed (see Table 3).
Table 3. Joint Angle/Maximum RPM
JOINT ANGLE MAXIMUM
SPEED
5 degrees 5000 RPM
6 degrees, 30 minutes 4000 RPM
8 degrees 3000 RPM
Align the gearbox with the transmission and the
rear axle to obtain the optimum universal joint
angles. See Figure 3 for drive shaft alignment.
Be certain the rear axle position when the
vehicle is empty or fully loaded will not
cause excessive universal joint angles, or
cause the drive shaft slip joints to bottom
out.
When installing and/or aligning univer
sal shaft assemblies, switch off the ve
hicle ignition and remove the key to en
sure that the pump will remain inopera
tive.

Figure 3. Drive Shaft Alignment
The alignment of the pump and its power source is
critical for trouble‐free mechanical operation. Be
fore checking alignment, make sure that the gear
box mounting bolts are tight.
When connecting the universal joint drive shaft as
sembly to a PTO unit, install, support, and align the
drive shaft in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. The pump and the drive power source
are generally positioned so that shaft centerlines
are parallel and horizontal.
Make sure the horizontal and vertical joints are
equal. Limit the angles to 1 to 3 degrees using a
short coupled joint, and less than 8 degrees with a
double joint assembly. The maximum operating
angle should not exceed 15 degrees (see Figure
3).
NOTE
Install a short coupled slip joint on the input side
and a double joint with slip on the output side of the
gearbox to attain the prescribed angles and elimi
nate tensile stress on the shaft.
The input and output shafts should be completely
subassembled and checked for straightness and
balance before installation. Also check the univer
sal joint yokes for proper alignment.
Check the direction of rotation of the PTO unit be
fore starting the pump. The drive shaft must rotate
in the direction shown on the body of the pump,
gearbox, and/or decals, tags, and labels.
Gear Shift Connections
After the pump is mounted to the chassis, hook up
the air shift rod to the proper control stations.

OM-03179 0 SERIES
PAGE B - 8 INSTALLATION
Decals and tags vital to pump operation
were shipped loose with the pump.
These decals must be affixed in a promi
nent place visible to the pump operator.
Proper operation of the gearbox air shift requires
1/4-inch air lines and air pressure of 70 to 140 psi
(5,1 to 10,2 kg/cm) at the gearbox. The air line
connection at the end cap of the air cylinder is for
vehicle operation, and the air line connection at the
top of the air shifter cover is for pump operation.
Seal all hose fittings with “Permatex” or equivalent
compound.
When activated, the shifter rod travels through a
hole in the rear cross member. A customer‐
supplied shift indicator (mechanical, electrical, or
air operated device) should be installed in this area
to indicate shifter mode to the pump operator. A
tapped hole is provided in the shaft for conve
nience.
See Figure 4 and 5 for approximate shaft travel and
hole size. See Figure 4, Section E for Air Shift Kit
parts.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Typical System Installation
Most petroleum handling vehicles perform both
fueling and defueling operations. This requires a
system utilizing flow‐directing (FDF) valves, educ
tors, related piping and safety accessories. Some
of the accessories are available from Gorman‐
Rupp as optional equipment.
Refer to Figures 6 and 7 for illustrations of typical
piping systems used on refueling vehicles.

Piping
All piping material must be compatible with the liq
uid being pumped. If hose is used in suction lines,
it must be the rigid‐wall, reinforced type to prevent
collapse under suction.
Run the 8‐inch suction piping from the tank sump
to the pump inlet. The suction lines should be as
short and straight as possible to minimize friction
loss.
A suction strainer was not furnished with this pump
since it is not designed to handle liquids containing
solids. However, to protect the pump from acciden
tal damage a commercially available 80 mesh
screen should be installed in the suction line. Make
certain that the total open area of the screen is at
least three or four times the cross section of the
suction line to ensure an adequate supply of liquid
to the pump.
Damage to the pump resulting from debris
in the suction line will not be covered by the
pump warranty.
Before connecting the suction and dis
charge piping, carefully check the storage
tank and piping for construction debris
such as nuts, bolts, wire, weld slag, and
other foreign material. Install a commer
cially available 80 mesh screen in the suc
tion line to prevent debris from entering the
pump.
The pump discharge is a 6‐inch petroleum flange.
The discharge should be mounted vertically just
below the top of the chassis frame. It can easily be
piped to the filter inlet, discharge manifold, valves,
etc..
To avoid wracking, flexible connections or bellows
must be installed in the pump suction and dis
charge.
Do not tighten connecting flanges unless they are
properly aligned. Never pull a pipe into place by
tightening the flange bolts.
Valves
Gorman‐Rupp manufactures several sizes of flow‐
diverting (FDF) valves for use in truck‐mounted
pumping applications. The valves are designed to
reverse the flow of liquid with only the turn of a han
dle. This allows the same pump to fill or dispense
from the tank.
The FDF valve is designed for directing
flow only. It will not serve as a positive shut
off or throttling valve.
See Figures 8 and 9 illustrating the installation di
mensions and theory of operation for a typical FDF
valve. Consult the factory for further assistance or
other sizes.

When the center web of the valve is aligned with the
6‐inch ports (fueling position), the flow passes
straight through. When the handle is turned to the
defueling position, the web blocks the straight flow
and opens two paths of flow through the 6‐inch and
3‐inch ports.

Eductors
An eductor may be used in conjunction with an
FDF valve to increase dispensing rates and im
prove efficiency. An eductor may also be used to
collapse the tank service hose after the tank has
been filled or emptied.

ized distributor for specifications and performance
data on eductors or FDF valves.

OPERATION PAGE C - 1
OPERATION - SECTION C
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, labels and
decals attached to the pump.
Whether new installation or rebuild of re
fueler, the following requirements apply:
1. It is essential that tank scale, dirt, and
any other foreign elements be removed
from the tank and piping prior to pump
installation.
2. The gearbox was shipped dry of lubri
cant. Lubrication must be added before
any operation.
3. The pump must not be run dry of prod
uct at any time.
This pump is designed for vehicular
mounting in petroleum service. Do not
attempt to pump corrosive liquids
which may damage the pump or endan
ger personnel as a result of pump fail
ure.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. The Gearbox provided on
this pump is designed for operation at a
maximum input speed of 1750 RPM
(06C) or 1900 RPM (06D). If operated at
a higher RPM, pump or gearbox compo
nents may be destroyed.
PRIMING
Install the pump and piping as described in IN
STALLATION. Make sure that the piping connec
tions are tight, and that the pump is securely
mounted. Check that the pump and gearbox are
properly lubricated (see LUBRICATION in MAIN
TENANCE AND REPAIR).
This pump is not self‐priming, but should never be
operated unless there is liquid in the pump casing.
Never operate this pump unless there is
liquid in the pump casing. The pump will
not prime when dry. Extended operation of
a dry pump will destroy the seal assembly.
When installed in a flooded suction application,
simply open the system valves and permit the in
coming liquid to evacuate the air. After the pump
and piping system have completely filled, evacu
ate any remaining air pockets in the pump or suc
tion line by loosening a pipe plug or opening
bleeder valves.
Once the pump casing has been filled, the pump
will prime as long as positive suction head is avail
able.
GROUNDING
To eliminate electrostatic build‐up by the liquid be
ing pumped, the pump must be grounded by at
taching a ground wire to a ground rod (grounding
is not required if pumping water). Install the ground
rod in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and all local codes. Be sure the clamp or fas
tener has made a tight electrical connection with
the rod.
Inspect and test the ground wire assembly
for conductivity. Replace broken or frayed
wire before resuming operation.

OPERATIONPAGE C - 2
STARTING
Consult the operations manual furnished with the
vehicle.
Rotation
The correct direction of pump rotation is clockwise
when facing the gearbox input shaft. The pump
could be damaged and performance adversely af
fected by incorrect rotation. If pump performance
is not within the specified limits (see the curve on
page E‐1), check the direction of rotation before
further troubleshooting.
Only operate the input shaft in a clockwise
direction when facing the input shaft.
Otherwise, pump performance will be ad
versely affected, and the pump and/or
gearbox could be seriously damaged.
Drive
The pump and gearbox assembly are designed to
be mounted midship between the chassis frame
members. The gearbox split shaft replaces a part
of the vehicle drive shaft connecting the transmis
sion to the rear axle.
The gearbox assembly has a ratio of 2.56:1, and is
designed for operation at a maximum input speeds
of 1750 RPM (model 06C) or 1900 RPM (model
06D). Do not operate at a higher input speeds.
The gearbox provided on this pump is
designed for operation at a maximum in
put speed of 1750 RPM (06C) or 1900
RPM (06D). If operated at a higher RPM,
pump or gearbox components may be
destroyed.
OPERATION
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.
The split drive shaft of the pump gearbox provides
for selective operation of either the pump or the ve
hicle; both cannot be operated at the same time.
Operating Controls
Since Gorman‐Rupp has no control over the actual
installation, it is the obligation of the tank builder or
the installer to devise controls to safely operate the
pump from inside the cab, or from a remote control
panel. All instructions and operational procedures
for the pump and system must be provided to the
pump operator.
Decals and tags vital to pump operation
were shipped loose with the pump.
These decals must be affixed in a promi
nent place visible to the pump operator.
The shift mode indicator must be visible to the op
erator.
Shifting Sequence
In shifting to vehicle operation using the standard
air shift kit, the air shift rod linkage is activated to
engage the output shaft and provide direct drive
(1:1 ratio) through the gearbox to the rear axle of
the vehicle.
In shifting to pump operation, activate the air shifter
to disengage the gearbox drive output shaft, and to
engage the drive input shaft to the gear train which
operates the pump. Never shift from “drive” to
“pump” unless the vehicle is completely stopped.
