INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp JS or
JSV Series FM-Approved Pump. Read this manu-
al carefully to learn how to safely install and oper-
ate your pump. Failure to do so could result in per-
sonal injury or damage to the pump.
A set of three manuals accompanies your pump.
Each set consists of three parts; the Installation/
Operation Manual contains essential information
on installing and operating the pump, and on mak-
ing electrical connections. However, since pump
installations are seldom identical, some of the in-
formation only summarizes general recommenda-
tions and practices required to inspect, position,
and arrange the pump and piping.
The Parts List Manual provides performance
curve(s), a pump model cross-section drawing,
and parts list for your pump.
The Maintenance and Repair Manual provides
troubleshooting and maintenance instructions re-
quired to properly diagnose operational problems,
and to service the pump hydraulic components.
Pump motor maintenance may be performed only
by a Gorman-Rupp authorized repair facility, or the
factory. Otherwise, the pump warranty will be ne-
gated, and damage to the pump, and injury or
death to personnel can result. Contact the factory
for the authorized repair facility closest to you.
The pump is driven by an explosion-proof, sub-
mersible electric motor, FM-approved for Class 1,
Division 1, Group C and D locations. If the motor is
dual-voltage, the pump is shipped from the factory
wired only for the voltage shown on the name-
plate. If desired to have the voltage changed, re-
turn the pump to the factory or to a Gorman-Rupp
authorized repair facility.
The pump motor must be operated through an ap-
propriate control box matching the voltage and
other characteristics of the motor. The control box
must be approved by Gorman-Rupp for the appli-
cation and environment intended, and must also
provide for proper operation of the motor protec-
tion devices, such as the integral moisture and
thermal switches. Control boxes and other control
devices not integral to the pump are not covered
in this manual.
Pump construction is cast iron, with stainless steel
shaft and hardware. These pumps are equipped
with a guide shoe for mounting on guide rails in a
wet well. A guide rail system, controls and liquid
level devices are available from the factory as op-
tional equipment.
If there are any questions regarding the pump
which are not covered in this manual or in other lit-
erature accompanying the unit, please contact
your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the Gorman-
Rupp Company:

SAFETY − SECTION A
The following information applies
throughout this manual to Gorman-
Rupp JS and JSV Series FM-Approved
Submersible pumps.
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
to personnel.
The motor powering this pump is FM-
Approved for Class 1, Division 1,
Groups C and D environments. Any liq-
uid level devices used with the pump
must be intrinsically safe for use in
these environments.
Any control box used to operate the
pump must be approved by the Gor-
man-Rupp Company for the application.
If the control box is to be installed in an
explosive environment, it must be a
Nema 7 rating or better. If a non-explo-
sion proof control box is used, it must be
located outside the explosive environ-
ment. Improper location of a non-explo-
sion proof control box could result in de-
struction of equipment, injury, or death
to personnel.
When installing or servicing the pump
or controls, follow all requirements for
the installation of wiring or electrical
equipment in hazardous locations as
outlined in the National Electric Code.
When entering the pump wet well for in-
stallation or service, follow all safety re-
quirements for confined space entry.
Failure to observe these requirements
could result in injury or death to person-
nel.
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.
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 these could re-
sult in injury or death to personnel.
This pump is not designed to pump vol-

atile, flammable, or corrosive liquids.
The maximum temperature of the liquid
being pumped should not exceed 104_F
(40_C); do not apply the pump at higher
temperatures. Do not attempt to pump
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
The following precautions should be
taken before attempting to service the
pump; otherwise, injury or death could
result.
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual and with all other literature
shipped with the pump.
2. Lock out incoming power to the
pump or 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 attempt to lift this pump by the
motor power cable or the piping. Attach
proper lifting equipment to the lifting
device fitted to the pump, and make cer-
tain that the hook of the lifting device is
securely positioned in the center of the
pump lifting device. If chains or cables
are wrapped around the pump to lift it,
make certain that they are positioned so
as not to damage the pump, and so that
the load will be balanced.
This pump was wired at the factory only
for the voltage shown on the nameplate.
Do not attempt to change the voltage on
a dual-voltage motor. If desired to have
the voltage changed, return the pump to
the factory or to an authorized Gorman-
Rupp repair facility only; otherwise, the
pump warranty will be negated, and
damage to the pump, and injury or death
to personnel can result.
If this pump is used to handle liquids
which may cause illness or disease
through direct exposure, take neces-
sary precautions during maintenance
and repair to prevent personal contami-
nation.
The motor powering this pump is FM-Ap-
proved for Class 1, Division 1, Groups C
and D environments. All repairs to the
pump, other than seal, impeller and other
hydraulic components, must be per-
formed by a Gorman-Rupp authorized re-
pair facility or the factory. Any repairs to the
motor assembly performed by the custom-
er or an unauthorized repair facility ne-
gates the FM Approval and the motor war-
ranty.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or hose

INSTALLATION − SECTION B
GENERAL INFORMATION
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 pump motor is not designed to be
operated in air for more than 10 minutes
without overheating. The pump must be
operated through a liquid level control de-
signed to cut off power when liquid falls be-
low the midpoint of the motor housing
(single pump operation), or below the dis-
charge flange (duplex, alternating pump
operation).
Controls, liquid level devices, and a guide rail sys-
tem are available from Gorman-Rupp as optional
equipment. For more information on installing and
operating these options, refer to the other literature
accompanying the option(s).
Pump Model Designation
Following is a description of the model numbering
system for J Series pumps. These explosion-proof

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 loose attaching hardware. Since
gaskets tend to shrink after drying, check for
loose hardware at the mating surfaces.
c. Inspect the power cable for cuts or any other
obvious damage.
d. Check that amperes, phase, voltage and
hertz indicated on the name plate match the
ratings on the control box and incoming pow-
er.
e. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the pump, and perform all duties indicated.
f. Check for oil leaks. If there is any indication of
an oil leak, see LUBRICATION at the end of
this manual.
LUBRICATION
Some of the pumps in this series are equipped with
double mechanical seals. Others are equipped
with two separate seals. In either case, the function
of the seal(s) are the same.
The seal(s) prevent the liquid being pumped from
entering the seal housing cavity from the pump
end, and at the same time prevents the oil in the
seal housing from leaking into the motor housing.
The pump seal(s) are lubricated by oil in the seal
housing (see LUBRICATION at the end of this
manual).
There is no other lubrication required for these
pumps.
Pump Motor Specifications
The motor furnished with this pump is an air-filled,
60 Hz., Squirrel Cage, Induction Start model; Class
F Insulation Rated 155_C (311_F), 40_C (104_F)
ambient, plus 115_C (239_F) temperature rise.
The motor is FM-approved for Class 1, Division 1,
Group C and D locations.
