Receiving and Inspection
Gusher Pumps, Inc. has taken great care
in preparing your pump for shipment,
However, due to circumstances beyond
our control, your shipment may be
received damaged. Therefore we
strongly recommend you take a few
minutes to check your pump upon receipt.
Check for cracked, bent, severely
misaligned (minor misalignments almost
always occur during shipment), or even
missing parts. If any such damage has
occurred, you must report it to the
delivering carrier and Gusher Pumps, Inc.
immediately.
We also recommend that you check the
model number, horsepower, current
characteristics, g.p.m., and ft. head of
the pump received to insure that you have
received the pump you ordered for your
specic operating conditions. if you
should nd some discrepancy, report it to
Gusher at once.
Storage
If your pump is not going to be installed
within six months, several precautions
must be taken:
1. Preservative treatment of bearings and
machined surfaces is required.
(Not required for sealed for life
ball bearings).
2. Remove packing on pumps with
stung box. The stung box
and shaft sleeve must be oil lubricated
to also protect against moisture.
3. Units equipped with mechanical seals
must also be lubricated with an oil
can through the NPT port while rotating
the shaft by hand.
4. Pump suction and discharge points must
be covered to prevent foreign material
from getting into the pump and causing
damage while the pump is started at a
later date.
3. Pumps must be stored in a dry location.
4. Rotate pump shaft several times every
other month.
Pump and components are heavy.
Serious physical injury or damage to
equipment should occur from failure
to properly lift and support pump.
Steel-toed shoes must be worn at
all times.
Use care when moving pumps. Lifting
equipment must be able to suciently
support the entire pump. Refer to Figs.
2a, b, c for proper lifting techniques.

Installation
PREPARATION
LOCATION / FOUNDATION
LEVEL BASEPLATE
COUPLING ALIGNMENT
When preparing your pump for
installation, the discharge and suction
ports must be clean and free of anything
that might prohibit a tight connection.
This is especially important on the
suction. Air leaks can cause a pump to
operate poorly or to lose prime
completely.
If your pump has been taken out of
storage, all the grease, oil or
preservative must be removed from the ball
bearing housing. The bearing housing must
then be thoroughly cleaned with kerosene
or carbon tetrachloride and relubricated.
This is not required on sealed for life bearings.
On packed pumps, it will be necessary to
clean the shaft sleeve and stung box
with kerosene or carbon tetrachloride and
then repack.
Whenever possible, locate the pump far
enough below the minimum liquid level
in the resevoir so there will be a positive
head on the suction at all times. Where
this is not possible, the pump should be
located as near to the source of supply as
Customers mount the bases in a variety
ways. Grouted, welded to other steel, bolted
to concrete oor, etc.
It should be noted at this time that SPECIAL
CARE must be taken when leveling your
pump base for coupling alignment, This is of
the utmost importance. Once the base is in
place and before securing the base, the
coupling alignment should be veried.
The coupling alignment should be checked
again once the base mounting is nished.
After the base is mounted, the only way to
adjust the coupling alignment is by adding
or removing shims underneath the motor feet.
Level baseplate to within 0.125” over the
length and to within 0.062” over the
width by adjusting the wedges.
possible. Allow ample room for inspection
and maintenance.
The foundation should be of heavy
construction to reduce vibration and must
be rigid enough to resist the torque it may
be subjected to.
Before starting any alignment
procedure, ensure that the motor
power is locked out. Failute to do this
will result in serious physical injury.
For trouble-free operation of this unit,
proper alignment must be attained.
Proper alignment is the responsibility of
the installer and user of this pump.
! WARNING ! Coupling alignment should be checked and
veried:
1) Base installed but not secured
2) Base in place and secured
3) After connecting the system piping
4) Before start-up of a system
Review page 9 for coupling alignment
specications.

SYSTEM PIPING
Never force piping into position by
pulling it place with the pump suction
and discharge ange bolts.
This will cause misalignment between
pump and driver which will adversely
aect the operation of the unit,
resulting in physical injury and
damage to the equipment.
! WARNING !
NPSH must always exceed NPSH as
shown on Gusher performance curves.
Reference Hydraulic Institute for NPSH
and pipe friction values needed to
evaluate suction piping.
! WARNING !
Properly installed suction piping is
necessary for trouble-free pump
operation. Flush suction piping before
connection to the pump.
1). Never place a pipe line elbow in the
horizontal plane directly at the pump
suction. Use a straight pipe four to six
pipe diameters long between the elbow
and the pump suction.
2). Use suction pipe one or two sizes
larger than the pump suction, with an
eccentric reducer, sloping slide down,
at the suction ange. Suction piping
should never be smaller than the
pump suction.
3). Never throttle the pump on the suction
side. Always control ow by throttling
on the discharge side of the pump.
1). All piping must be supported independently
of the pump.
2). Before connecting the piping to the pump,
ensure that the base is secured.
3). Clean all pipe parts prior to installation.
Guidelines for piping are given in the
“Hydraulic Institute Standards” available
from the Hydraulic Institute, 30200 Detroit
Road, Cleveland, OH 44145-1967.
These guidelines should be followed
to ensure proper pump operation.
Suction Piping
4). Liquid coming back into the resevoir
should not enter near the pump suction
pipe and the liquid should not drop
from a high level.
5). An isolation valve should be installed in
the suction pipe at least 4 pipe diameters
from the suction to allow closing of the
line for pump inspection and
maintenance.
6). Pipe should be free of air pockets.
7). Piping should be level or slope
gradually downward from the source.
8). No part of the piping should extend
below pump suction ange.
9). The size of the entrance from the
supply should be one or two sizes
larger than the pipe.
1). A gate valve and check valve should
be installed in the discharge line. The
check valve should be installed
between the gate valve and the pump.
This will allow for inspection of
the check valve. The gate valve is
required for priming, ow regulation
and for maintenance of the pump.
The check valve is required to prevent
pump or seal damage from reverse ow
through the pump when the motor is
turned o.
2). If quick closing valves are installed in
the system, cushioning devices should
also be installed to protect the pump
from surges and water hammer.
3). A pressure gauge should be installed
in the piping just above the pump
discharge. This gauge should be located
at the pump discharge and before
any valves, elbows or other devices.
After all piping connections have been
made to the pump:
1) Rotate the shaft by hand to insure that
there is no binding and all parts are
free.
2) Re-check pump alignment to detect any
pipe strain. If pipe strain exists, correct
piping.

Operation
1). Wire the motor according to motor
manufacturers specications and
according to state and local
regulations.
2). Lock out power to driver.
3). Disconnect motor/pump shaft coupling
to prevent dry operation of the pump
when checking rotation.
4). Make sure everyone is clear.
Jog the motor. Determine if the motor
shaft rotation is correct. Refer to page
4 to determine proper motor shaft
rotation. Correct if necessary.
1). Open all inlet piping valves 100%.
2). Open discharge valve 10-15%
3). Remove vent plug on casing to insure
pump has liquid inside the casing.
4). Review pump nameplate and obtain
the pressure the pump was rated for.
5). If your pump is packed, loosen packing
gland screws to allow free leakage.
Then tighten screws uniformly on
packing gland until leakage is reduced
to approximately 30 drops per minute.
Never tighten packing enough to stop
all leakage as a slIght leakage is required
to lubricate packing and prevent
scoring of shaft sleeve.
1). Always vary the capacity with gate valve
in the discharge line. Never restrict
intake ow.
Check Rotation
Operating the pump dry will cause
damage to the mechanical seal and
may cause the rotating parts to seize.
! WARNING !
1). Lock out power to motor to prevent
accidental rotation and physical injury.
2). Install and lubricate coupling per
manufacturers instructions
3). Verify coupling alignment.
Review page 9 for coupling alignment
specications.
4). Install coupling guard.
2). If the specic gravity of liquid being
pumped is greater then originally
assumed or if the rated ow is exceeded,
the motor may overload.
Couple Pump and Motor
Never operate a pump without the
coupling guard properly installed.
Personal injury can occur if pump is
run without coupling guard.
! WARNING !
PREPARATION FOR START-UP
INITIAL STARTING
OPERATION
6). Start motor and immediately observe
pressure gauges. If discharge
pressure is not quickly attained, stop
the pump and attempt to restart.
If pressure is still not obtained, turn
the pump o and investigate the cause.
7). Open the gate valve in the discharge line
gradually as the motor reaches full speed.
(approximately 5 to 10 seconds).
Adjust valve to obtain the pressure
reading as per the pump nameplate.
8). Check pump for vibration levels,
bearing temperature and excessive
noise. If normal levels are exceeded,
shut down and investigate.

3). Drain all liquid from inside of the pump
if it will be exposed to freezing conditions
while idle. The conditions could cause
liquid to freeze and damage the pump.
Liquid inside cooling coils, if supplied,
should also be drained.
5). To prevent damage from cavitation or
recirculation, always operate pump at or
near rated conditions.
2). Check alignment while unit is still hot.
3). Make any necessary adjustments and
reinstall the coupling guards.
4). If your pump is packed, nal leakage
adjustment will be done with the pump
in operation. Tighten screws uniformly on
packing gland until leakage is reduced to
approximately 30 drops per minute.
Never tighten packing enough to stop
all leakage...a slight leakage is required
to lubricate packing and prevent scoring
of shaft sleeve.
1). Run the unit under actual operating
conditions long enough for the pump and
motor to reach operating temperature.
Angular Alignment
Check angular alignment with a
micrometer or caliper. Measure from the
outside of one ange to the outside of the
other ange at intervals around the
periphery of the coupling. DO NOT rotate
the coupling. The dierence between the
maximum and the minimum must not
exceed .010”.
Parallel Alignment
Check parallel alignment by placing a
straight edge across the two coupling
anges and measure the oset at various
points around the periphery of the
coupling. DO NOT rotate the coupling. If
oset exceeds .010”, realign the coupling.
Alignment Criteria
DO NOT operate pump below minimum
rated ows or with suction or discharge
valves closed. These conditions could
create an explosive hazard due to
vaporization of pumpage and can
quickly lead to pump failure and
physical injury

Pump Tips
.Never apply heat to remove impeller.
.Always lockout power.
.Ensure pump is isolated from the
system and pressure is relieved before
disassembling pump, removing plugs
or disconnecting piping.
.Use proper lifting and supporting
equipment to prevent serious injury.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
.Must always have liquid for lubrication.
.Double type mechanical seals must have
an external supply source of liquid. This
external liquid must be circulated through
the seal chamber at a pressure equal to or
greater than the pump discharge pressure
at all times.
MECHANICAL SEALS
.Packing must be allowed to leak. This
leakage is the lubrication between the
packing and the shaft / sleeve.
PACKING
.Maximum pump shaft end play is
0.031”
SHAFT END PLAY
.Maximum start / stop cycles per hour
is 6. Consult the factory if more cycles
are required
STOPPING / STARTING CYCLES
.Never operate a pump without coupling
guards properly installed.
COUPLING GUARDS
.Never force piping to make connection
with a pump.
.Use only fasteners of proper size and
material.
.Ensure there are no missing fasteners.
.Beware of corroded or loose fasteners.
CONNECTIONS
.Standard pumps are with sealed for
life ball bearings.
.Oil lubrication is optional.
.Grease lubrication is optional.
.If lubrication information is required,
consult the factory.
LUBRICATION
.Never operate below minimum rated
ow or eith suction/discharge valves
closed.
.Do not open vent or drain valves, or
remove plugs while the system is
pressurized.
.Pump should not be allowed to operate
in a dry mode. This will cause damage
to mechanical seals, packing and other
pump parts.

brand, Gusher Pumps.
Alois’ son Thomas R. Ruthman joined the family business in 1949, growing the
business globally through organic growth and the acquisition of complementary
technologies. In the early 1990’s, Alois’ grandson, Thomas G. Ruthman, became
the third generation of Ruthmans in the pump business. Over the years, Ruth-
man Companies has expanded its product line from the original centrifugal coolant
pumps to include valves, vertical turbine pumps, positive displacement pumps, gear
pumps, and other specialized pump equipment, while upholding its reputation as a
leader in the custom engineering of pumps for the most challenging applications.
