SAFETY --- SECTION A

This information is specific to Gorman-Rupp GHSSeries Rotary Gear Pumps. It applies throughoutthis manual and any manual or literature ac-companying the pump.

For information on the power unit used to drive thispump, consult the separate literature accompany-ing the power unit.

Pumps and related equipment must be in-stalled and operated according to all na-tional, local and industry standards.

This manual will alert personnel toknown procedures which require spe-cial attention, to those which coulddamage equipment, and to those whichcould be dangerous to personnel. How-ever, this manual cannot possibly pro-vide detailed instructions and precau-tions for each specific application or forevery situation that might occur duringmaintenance of the unit. Therefore, it isthe responsibility of the owner, installerand/or maintenance personnel to en-sure that applications and/or mainte-nance procedures not addressed in thismanual are performed only after estab-lishing that neither personal safety norpump integrity are compromised bysuch applications or procedures.

Before attempting to install, operate, orservice this pump, familiarize yourselfwith this manual, and with all other liter-ature shipped with the pump. Unfamil-iarity with all aspects of pumpoperation

covered in thismanual could lead to de-struction of equipment, injury, or death.

Depending on design and components,this pump will handle a wide range oflight, medium, and heavy viscosity liq-uids at a variety of temperatures. Do notapply at higher temperatures than theseal will handle. Do not attempt to pumpliquids which may damage the pump orendanger personnel as a result of pumpfailure; consult the factory for chemicalcompatibility.

If the pump and motor are furnishedmountedon abase,make certain that alllifting devices have adequate capacity.If chains or cables are used in lifting,make certain that they are positioned soas not to damage components, and sothat the load will be balanced.

After thepumphasbeen installed,makecertain that the pump and all piping orhose connections are secure before op-eration. Loose connectionscan result indamage to the equipment and seriousinjury to personnel.

Never operate the pump without a pres-sure relief valve installed on the pumpor in the discharge piping. Make certainthat pump-mounted pressure reliefvalves are installed with their adjustingends toward the suction port. If bi-rota-

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. Sincegaskets tend to shrink after drying, check forloose hardware at the mating surfaces.

c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markingson the pump assembly, and perform all dutiesindicated.

STORAGE

Due to the extreme close machining toler-ances within rotary gear pumps, properstorage before installation is essential toprevent damage to the pump.

If the pump will not be immediately installed, followthese procedures or damage to the pump will oc-cur.

a. Do not flush the pump. Ensure that the portplugs shipped with the pump remain in placeuntil piping is installed to help prevent dust orother foreign objects from entering the pump.

b. Pumps that will not be installed for an ex-tended period should be stored indoors ifpossible. The factory-installed port plugs willnot ensure protection from excessive humid-ity, splash water or rain. In very humid or wetconditions, install air-tight plugs in the portsand fill the pump completely with a lubricatingpreservative liquid that is compatible with theliquid to be pumped.

c. Pumps stored outdoors must be fully pre-served as described above, completely cov-eredwith plastic or other water-tight material,and the covering anchored to ensure that itwill not be blown off.

Flushing

Clean piping is essential because of close-tolerancemoving parts in this pump. Flushall dirt, grit, weld beads or scale from thesuction piping before installing the pump.Damage to the pump because of debris inthe suction line is not covered by the pumpwarranty.

Before shipment, the pump may have been testedusing a petroleum-basedpreservative. If flushing isrequired, do not do so until just before installation;the test oil protects close-tolerance pump partsfrom corrosion.

Most cleaning solvents are toxic andflammable. Use them only in a well ven-tilated area free from flame, sparks, andexcessive heat. Read and follow all pre-cautions printed on solvent containers.

GHS SERIES OM--04383

PAGE B--3INSTALLATION

To flush the pump, use an approved solvent com-patible with the liquid being pumped. Make cer-tain that the solvent will not attack pump com-ponents, particularly seals and gaskets.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Pump dimensions are shown in the separatePump Specification Bulletin.

Never operate the pump without a pres-sure relief valve installed on the pumpor in the discharge piping. Make certainthat pump-mounted pressure reliefvalves are installed with their adjustingends toward the suction port. If bi-rota-tional operation is required, a pressurerelief device must be provided for bothdirections of flow. Operation without apressure relief valve or with an improp-erly installed relief valve could causethe pump to explode, resulting in seri-ous injury or death to personnel.

Lifting

Remove suction and discharge hose and pipingbefore attempting to lift the pump.Use liftingequip-ment with a capacity of at least five times the totalweight of the equipment being lifted.

Positioning The Pump

Locate the pump as close as possible to the liquidbeing pumped. Locating the pump below the liq-uid source will help self-priming and reduce thepossibility of cavitation.

Mounting

The pump may be shipped alone, mounted on abase, or with pump andmotormounted on a base.Install the pump and motor on a base beforemounting the base on a foundation.

Mount the base on a foundation that will providepermanent, rigid support for the pump, and will beheavy enough to absorb any vibration, strain orshock.

Piping

Before establishing suction and discharge lines,determine pump port positions and rotation. Fig-ure B---1 shows typical port positions for the stan-dard 90_ housing; if you have selected a 180_housing port option, your port positions will be dif-ferent.

Either hose or rigid pipemay be used tomake con-nections. If rigid piping is used, install expansionjoints to protect the pump from vibration and ther-mal expansion in the piping. Do not use expansionjoints or flexible connectors to adjust misalignedpiping.

Begin piping layout at the pump, and work towardthe source of supply and the point of discharge. Ifan obstacle is in the way of a suction or dischargeline, run the piping around the obstruction, notover it. Running piping over an obstruction willcreate an air pocket which will make priming moredifficult.

If possible, slope the piping toward the pump sonoair or liquid is trapped in the piping. If a long hori-zontal suction line is necessary, install the line be-low the liquid level whenever possible in order tokeep the piping full of liquid. This will make primingeasier because the pump will not have to removeas much air in the line.

PAGE B--4 INSTALLATION

The discharge and suction lines must be inde-pendently supported to avoid vibration and strainon the pump. For maximum pumping capacity,keep the lines as short and straight as possible. El-bows and fittings used in the lines increase frictionlosses; minimize their use. Reducers used in suc-tion lines should be the eccentric type installedwith the flat part uppermost to avoid creating airpockets.

Before tightening a connection or flange, align itexactly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe lineinto place by tightening the flange bolts and/orcouplings.

Gauges

Install a vacuumgauge in the suction lineand adis-charge pressure gauge in the discharge line (bothshould be as close as possible to the pump) tomonitor operation and assist in troubleshooting.

Strainers

Because of the close-tolerance moving parts ofthis pump, it is recommended that a strainer be in-stalled in the suction line. The strainer should belarge enough to prevent excessive vacuum, andcapable of operating under high vacuum withoutcollapsing. The net open area of the strainerscreen depends on liquid viscosity and desiredflow rate; in any case, the sum of the area of all theholes in the screen should be three to five times thearea of the suction pipe.

Sealing

Even a slight leak will affect priming, head, and ca-pacity, especially in a suction lift application. Sealall piping joints, valves and gauges with pipe dopeor teflon tape. The sealingmaterial should be com-patible with the liquid being pumped.

Valves

To avoid air pockets, install piping valves with thestem horizontal.

Toprevent leakageduring shutdown, install a shut-off valve in the discharge line, particularly on aflooded suction application. Shutoff valves are notrecommended for suction lines.

It is not recommended that a foot valve be installedat the end of the suction line. If desired to install afoot valve, consult the factory.

When handling very hot or cold liquids, install apressure relief valve in any part of the system thatcan be valved off or isolated; this will protect pipingagainst damage from liquid thermal expansion orcontraction from temperature changes duringshutdown.

Barrier Liquids for Dual Mechanical Seals

Pumps equipped with dual (tandem) mechanicalseals require a barrier liquid to prevent contamina-tion of the seal assembly by the liquid beingpumped. The barrier liquidmust have the followingcharacteristics:

a. Thebarrier liquidmust have sufficient lubricat-ing characteristics, including an optimum vis-cosity of 1 to 5 cSt at the temperature of theliquid being pumped.

b. The barrier liquid must be compatible in all re-spects with all pump and seal components towhich it will be exposed.

c. The barrier liquid must be compatible in all re-spects with the liquid being pumped.

Pumps equipped with dual mechanical seals re-quire the barrier liquid to be supplied at a continu-ous pressure equivalent to the maximum dis-charge pressure in order to avoid inboard seal faceseparation. The maximum barrier liquid pressurethat can be applied depends primarily on themaxi-mum seal design pressure (consult the factory).

Do not pressurize tandem seals. Pressurizing atandem seal will cause the seal faces to separate,resulting in leakage and/or damage to the seal.

Refer to the appropriate section in Seal Appendix,SectionF for your specific sealoption foroperatinginstructions for the barrier liquid reservoir kit.

ALIGNMENT

Make certain that power to the drive unit

is disconnected before attempting toconnect the pumpdrive; otherwise, per-sonal injury may result.

NOTESee ROTATION in Section C before mounting thepump on the base.

Coupled Drives

When using couplings, the axis of the powersource must be aligned to the axis of the pumpshaft in both the horizontal and vertical planes.Most couplings require a specific gap or clearancebetween the driving and the driven shafts. Refer tothe coupling manufacturer’s service literature.

Align spider insert type couplings by using calipersto measure the dimensions on the circumferenceof the outer ends of the coupling hub every 90_.The coupling is in alignment when the hub endsare the same distance apart at all points (see Fig-ure B-2).

Figure B-2. Spider-type Couplings

Align non-spider type couplings by using a feelergaugeor taper gaugebetween the couplinghalvesevery 90_. The coupling is in alignment when thehubs are the same distance apart at all points (seeFigure B-3).

Figure B-3. Aligning Non-Spider Type Coupling

Check parallel adjustment by laying a straightedgeacross both coupling rims at the top, bottom, andside. When the straightedge rests evenly on bothhalves of the coupling, the coupling is in horizontalparallel alignment. If the coupling is misaligned,use a feeler gauge between the coupling and thestraightedge to measure the amount of misalign-ment.

V-Belt Drives

When using V-belt drives, the power source andthe pump must be parallel. Use a straightedgealong the sides of the pulleys to ensure that theyare properly aligned (see Figure B-4). In drive sys-temsusing twoormore belts, make certain that thebelts are amatched set; unmatched sets will causeaccelerated belt wear.

PAGE B--6 INSTALLATION

Select pulleys to match the proper speed ratio;overspeeding the pump may damage both pumpand power source.

Do not operate this pump withoutguards in place over the rotating parts.Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-ing, fingers or tools, causing severe in-jury to personnel.

V-BELT TENSIONING

General Rules of Tensioning

For new v-belts, check the tension after 5, 20 and50 hours of operation and re-tension as required(see the following procedure for measuring belttension). Thereafter, check and re-tension if re-quired monthly or at 500 hour intervals, whichevercomes first.

Ideal v-belt tension is the lowest tension at whichthe belt will not slip under peak load conditions. Donot over-tension v-belts. Over-tensioning will short-en both v-belt and bearing life. Under-tensioningwill cause belt slippage. Always keep belts freefrom dirt, grease, oil and other foreign materialwhich may cause slippage.

Tension Measurement

Correct v-belt tension can be achieved using a v-belt tension tester and Table B-2 or B-3. Use thetables to find the v-belt size (cross-section), thesmallest sheave diameter, the belt type for your ap-plication. The corresponding deflection force re-quired for new or used belts is shown opposite theRPM range of the pump.

Belt Span

Deflection

Figure B-5. Belt Tension Measurement

The ratio of deflection to belt span is 1:64 for bothASA andmetric units. Therefore, a belt with a spanof 64 inches would require a deflection of 1 inch atthe force shown on the Tables for your particularapplication.

For example, if the span asmeasured in FigureB-5is 32 inches (813mm), the v-belt cross-section isC,the smallest sheavediameter is 8 inches, the pumpspeed is 1250 RPM, and the belts are uncoggedYy-T type, then 11.5 lbs. of force on the tensionershould show 1/2-inch (12,7 mm) of deflection.

A tension tester is available as an option fromGor-man-Rupp (P/N 29513---001). Other tension test-ers are available from your local belt/sheave dis-tributor, and work on a similar principal.

To use the Gorman-Rupp tensioner, measure thebelt span as shown in Figure B-5. Position the bot-tom of the largeO-ring on the span scale of the ten-sioner at the measured belt span. Set the small O-ring on the deflection force scale to zero.

Place the tension tester squarely on the belt at thecenter of the belt span. Apply force on the plunger,perpendicular to the belt span, until the bottom ofthe largeO-ring is evenwith the top of the next belt,or with the bottomof a straight edge laid across thesheaves.

Read the force applied from the bottomof the smallO-ring on the deflection force scale. Compare thisforce with the value shown in Table B-2 or B-3 andadjust the tension accordingly. Note that the ten-sion for new belts is higher than that for usedbelts to allow for expected belt stretching. Do notover-tension used belts to the higher deflectionforces shown for new belts.

PAGE C--1OPERATION

OPERATION --- SECTION C

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Follow the instructions on all tags, labels anddecals attached to the pump.

PUMP OPERATION

Never use a pressure relief valve to reg-ulate liquid flow. Pressure relief valvesare designed as safety devices only. At-tempting to regulate flow with a pres-sure relief valve may cause the pump orpiping to explode, causing severe per-sonal injury or death.

PRE-OPERATION

Make certain that all instructions in INSTALLA-TION, Section B have been carried out.

The standard version of the pump is de-signed to handle a wide range of light, me-dium, and heavy viscosity liquids, depend-ing ondesignand components. Do not op-erate the pumpwith higher liquid tempera-tures thanwhat it wasdesigned; otherwise,pump components and operation may beaffected. For temperature range consultThe Gorman-Rupp Company.

Before Starting the Pump

Never operate the pump against aclosed suction or discharge valve. Thepump will overheat, and may rupture orexplode, causing personal injury ordeath.

Open all valves in the suction and discharge lines,and close all drain valves.

If your pump is equippedwith a packing seal, loos-en the gland nuts before starting until the packinggland may be moved slightly. If leakage seems ex-cessive after starting, wait until the pump has runlong enough to reach its normal operating temper-ature to adjust the gland nuts. Packing pumpsmust leak slightly to cool and lubricate the shaftand to allow the shaft to turn freely.

Consult the drive manufacturer’s operating manu-al before attempting to start the drive.

In a suction lift application, fill the pump housingwith liquid to seal clearances and to lubricate thepump.

Checking Pump Rotation

Correct rotation of your pump is shown on thepump serial plate or direction arrow plate.

In applications with a single direction offlow and a single pump-mounted pressurerelief valve, make certain that the drive unitturns the pump in the correct direction ofrotation. Otherwise, the pump-mountedpressure relief valve will not function.

Follow the drive unit manufacturer’s instructions,jog the pump motor briefly, and check rotation.

Gorman-Rupp rotary gear pumps are bi-directional; however, the pumps aremanufactured to rotate in one specific di-rection. If rotation is to be changed, thepressure relief valve must be re-installedwith the cap pointing toward the suctionport. Additionally, if the discharge presureis greater than the shaft seal rating (consultyour Gorman-Rupp distributor), the pres-

Page 17: INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL · rev. b 04-21-99 tvxy the gorman-rupp company mansfield, ohio gorman-rupp of canada limited st. thomas, ontario, canada printed in

PAGE C--2 OPERATION

sure relief plugs in the back of the housingmust be switched (see Housing Assem-bly under PUMP REASSEMBLY, SectionE).

If a 3-phase motor is being used and rotation is in-correct, have a qualified electrician interchangeany two of the 3-phase wires to change the direc-tion of rotation. If a 1-phase motor is being usedand rotation is incorrect, consult the motor man-ufacturer’s literature.

STARTING

Start the drive unit as indicated in the manufactur-er’s instructions and observe the suction and dis-charge gauges. If the pump does not deliver liquidwithin oneminute, stop the drive unit.Do not oper-ate the pump more than one minute without liquidin it; dry operation will damage or destroy thepump.

Although this pump is self-priming, neveroperate it dry. Dry operation could causegalling, seizing, damage to the seal or ex-cessive wear of rotating parts.

Review the previous steps outlined in PRE-OP-ERATION and review TROUBLESHOOTING,Section D. If everything appears normal, add liquidto the pump housing to assist priming and start thedriver again.

If the pump does not deliver liquid within two min-utes, stop the pump; it may be necessary to ventthe discharge line until liquid begins to flow.

If the pump still does not deliver after consultingTROUBLESHOOTING and venting the dischargeline, contact your local Gorman-Rupp Rotary GearDistributor or the factory.

OPERATION

NOTEIf the pump malfunctions or does not meet operat-ing specifications, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING--- Section D.

Achange in operating noisewhen liquid first entersthe pump is normal. After the pump is fully opera-tional, monitor it for any unusual noises or vibra-tion; if either occurs, shut the pump down immedi-ately.

Liquid Temperature

Do not install the pump in a service with higher liq-uid temperatures than what it was designed. Intro-ducing hot liquid into a cold pump will expandparts unevenly, causing excessive wear, pump fail-ure, and operation may be affected. This thermalshock can be reduced by gradually heating the liq-uid being introduced into the pump. If it is not pos-sible to heat the liquid, use heat tape and/or insula-tion to heat the pump.

High temperature bushings as well as optionaljackets which may be used to heat or cool thepump are available options for many models.

Overheating

Overheating canoccur if the pump is operatedwithvalves in the suction or discharge lines closed. Op-erating against closed valves could bring the liquidto a boil, build pressure, and cause the pump torupture or explode. If overheating occurs, stop thepump and allow it to completely cool before servic-ing.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,pipe plugs or fittings from an overheatedpump. Vapor pressure within the pumpcan cause parts being disengaged to beejected with great force. Allow the pump tocompletely cool before cooling.

Checking Gauges

Monitor vacuum and pressure gauge readings toensure that the pump is operating within normalrange and delivering full flow.

PAGE C--3OPERATION

Strainer Check

If a strainer has been installed in the suction line,monitor vacuum gauge readings to detect block-age. Check the strainer if flow rate begins to drop.

Never introduce air or steam pressureinto the pump housing to remove ablockage. This could result in personalinjury or damage to the equipment. Ifbackflushing is absolutely necessary,limit liquid pressure input to 50% of themaximum permissible operating pres-sure shown in the pump performancedata.

Leakage

No leakage should be visible at pump mating sur-faces or at pump connections or fittings. Keep allline connections and fittings tight to maintainmaxi-mum efficiency.

If your pump is equipped with a packing seal, thepacking is lubricated by the liquid being pumped.Some leakage around the packing seal is normal.Packing pumps must leak slightly to cool and lu-bricate the shaft and to allow the shaft to turn freely.

Wait until the pump has run long enough to reachits normal operating temperature to adjust thegland nuts. Adjust the nuts only tight enough to re-duce excessive leakage.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVEADJUSTMENT

Some pumps are not provided with a pressure re-lief valve. A pressure relief valve must be installedon the pump or in the discharge piping to ensuresafe operation. Otherwise, the pumpmay be dam-aged and personnel injured.

If operating at high temperatures, allow the

pump to completely cool before attempt-ing any adjustments.

Cracking Pressure

Cracking pressure is the pressure at which thepressure relief valve first begins to open and by-pass fluid. The nominal crackingpressure of the re-lief valve providedwith this pump is set at the facto-ry and is indicated on the tag attached to the reliefvalve.

If the nominal cracking pressure set at the factorymust be changed, see Table E-2 and instructions inSection E - MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

Complete By-pass Pressure

Complete by-pass pressure is the maximum pres-sure the pumpwill see when all the pumped fluid isbeing by-passed through the pressure relief valve.This pressure will vary depending on the crackingpressure setting, liquid viscosity, and pump speed(pump capacity).

To determine the complete by-pass pressure, referto the pump performance chart or consult the fac-tory.

Do not remove the adjusting screw jamnut; with the jam nut removed the reliefvalve spring(s) can be compressed toofar for the valve to open. If the valvedoes not open, excessive pressure candevelop, causing damage to the pumpand possible injury to personnel.

STOPPING

If the pump will be out of service for an extendedlength of time, particularly when handling non-lu-bricating liquids, drain the system and flush the

pump and piping with an oil-based preservative toprotect close-tolerance pump parts.

When handling liquids that solidify when at rest(tar, glue, etc.), flush the pump and piping with anapproved solvent compatible with the pump com-ponents and the liquids being pumped.

PAGE D--4 TROUBLESHOOTING

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Since pump applications are seldom identical, andpump wear is directly affected by such things asthe abrasive qualities, pressure and temperatureof the liquid beingpumped, this section is intendedonly to provide general recommendations andpractices for preventive maintenance. Regardlessof the application however, following a routine pre-ventive maintenance schedule will help assuretrouble-free performance and long life from yourGorman-Rupp rotary gear pump. For specificquestions concerning your application, contactyour Gorman-Rupp distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.

Record keeping is an essential component of agood preventive maintenance program. The ap-pearance of wearing parts should be documentedat each inspection for later comparison. Also, if re-cords indicate that a certain part (such as the seal)fails at the same duty cycle, this part can bechecked and replaced before failure occurs.

Because of the tight tolerances within your rotarygear pump, wear between rotating parts is normaland expected. For new applications, a first inspec-tion at 250 hours will give insight into the wear ratefor your particular application. Subsequent inspec-tions should be performed at regular intervals of2000 hours. Critical applications should be in-spected more frequently.

Check the thrust washer (medium duty models),idler bushing, idler pin, idler assembly, shaft bush-ing and rotor/shaft assembly at each inspection.Wear patterns should be uniform, without evi-dence of deep or irregular grooves.

For packing pumps, periodic adjustment of thepacking is required to keep leakage to a minimum(see the adjustment procedure described underLeakage in Operation, Section C). Do not over-tighten. Replace the packing if leakage cannot bereduced by a slight adjustment.

If the pump is equipped with a backhead bearing(heavy dutymodels), inspect for free rotation of theshaft and rotor, and excessive endplay or radialmovement of the shaft, which could indicate bear-ing wear. Remove the rotor adjusting sleeve as-sembly and inspect the bearing for damagedseals. Replacing the bearing at the first indicationof a problem can extend the life of the pump andsave considerable expense later to replace majorcomponents that can be damaged if the bearing isallowed to fail.

After extended service, adjustment of the clear-ance between the rotor and the head will normallyimprove performance (see the adjustment proce-dure in Maintenance And Repair, Section E).

If the pump is to be removed fromservice for repair,be sure to protect the internal components fromrusting while the pump is disassembled and afterreassembly if not immediately placed back intoservice.

If pump rotation is to be changed, remove thesocket head pipe plugs (P) from the housing. Thehole adjacent to the discharge port will have asmall pipe plug under the larger, outer pipe plug.This plug must be removed to change rotation.

PUMP REASSEMBLY

Use caution when handling the idler (02A)and the rotor shaft assembly (03A). Theseparts have sharp edges which will growsharper with use.

Cleaning and Inspection

Most cleaning solvents are toxic andflammable. Use them only in a well ven-tilated area free from flame, sparks, andexcessive heat. Read and follow all pre-cautions printed on solvent containers.

Clean and inspect the pump parts (except thebearing and seal assembly) with a cloth soaked infresh cleaning solvent. Inspect all parts for exces-sivewear or for anynicks or burrs. Removenicks orburrs using emery cloth or a fine file. Replace anyparts that are badly worn or damaged.

Rotate the bearing byhand to check for roughnessor binding. If rotation is rough or if there is any side-to-side movement of the inner race, replace thebearing.

The bearing is permanently sealed and re-quires no additional lubrication except acoating of light oil on external surfaces to

ease reassembly. External surfaces mustbe kept free of all dirt and foreign material.Failure to do so could damage the bearingor its mating surfaces.

The bearing tolerance provides a light press fit intothe rotor adjusting sleeve (07AA). Replace the ro-tor adjusting sleeve if the proper fit is not achieved.

Clean and inspect the seal assembly as indicatedin the appropriate section of the Seal Appendix,Section F.

Bushing Preparation

When replacing bushings, lightly oil the O.D. of thereplacement bushing before installation.

Be very careful when installing graphitebushings. Graphite is extremely brittle andwill crack if improperly installed. Use apress to install thebushingwith onecontin-uous motion until the bushing is fullyseated. Stopping in mid-stroke will causethe bushing to crack. After installation,check the bushing for cracks.

NOTEWhen installing high temperature graphite bush-ings, heat the part that receives the bushing to500_F and place the bushing in a freezer for at leastone hour. This will allow easier installation with lesschance of breakage.

Housing Assembly (04)

Inspect and clean the housing (04A) and housingbushing (04B)with a cloth soaked in fresh cleaningsolvent. Replace it if badly worn or damaged.

Most cleaning solvents are toxic andflammable. Use them only in a well ven-tilated area free from flame, sparks, andexcessive heat. Read and follow all pre-cautions printed on solvent containers.

When installing a replacement bushing, positionthe housing on the bed of an arbor (or hydraulic)

If the socket head pipe plugs (P) in theback side of the housing were removed inorder to change the directionof pump rota-tion, the smaller diameter plug must beinstalled in the hole adjacent to the dis-charge port of the housing. Otherwise,over-pressurization of the seal cavity couldresult in premature seal failure.

If the socket head pipe plugs (P) in the back side ofthe housing were removed, install the smaller di-ameter plug in the hole adjacent to the dischargeport, and install one of the larger diameter pipeplugs over the smaller one. Install the second largepipe plug in the other hole in the back of the hous-ing adjacent to the suction port.

Position the pin in the head with the chamferedside toward the head and the milled flat side facingthe crescent. (If the pin is stepped, position it withthe large chamfered end toward the head.) Use anarbor (or hydraulic) press to press the pin into thehead until it bottoms out.

NOTEWhen properly installed, the pin will be positioned0.010 inch below the surface of the crescent.

If removed, install the pipe plug (P) in the hole in thesuction side of the head (01AA).

Lightly oil the I.D. of the idler (02A), and use an ar-bor (or hydraulic) press to install the idler bushing(02B) in the idler. The bushing should be centeredat both ends of the idler.

Place the head (01A) on a flat surface. Lightly oil theidler bushing (02B) and pin (01AB); install the idlerassembly (02) on the pin. Spin the idler to makecertain that it moves freely on the pin.

Install the head gasket (01B) over the head. Care-fully position the head and idler against the hous-ing and engage the idler and rotor/shaft assembly(03A). Turn the rotor/shaft until the idler and rotorteeth engage. Do not force.

Slide the head into the housing assembly. Rotatethe head (01AA) until the groove in the headmatches the groove in the housing. Secure thehead to the housing with the capscrews (B).

See Pump Reassembly, Section E, and as-semble the housing assembly (04), backhead kit(06) and rotor/shaft assembly (03).

NOTEIf the inboard element seat sleeve (06AK) was re-moved, use an arbor (or hydraulic) press to installthe replacement sleeve in the throttle bushing

sleeve until fully seated.

Clean the seal cavity and shaft with a cloth soakedin fresh cleaning solvent.

Most cleaning solvents are toxic andflammable. Use them only in a well ven-tilated area free from flame, sparks, andexcessive heat. Read and follow all pre-cautions printed on solvent containers.

The seal is not normally reused because wear pat-terns on the finished faces cannot be realignedduring reassembly. This could result in prematurefailure. If necessary to reuse anold seal in an emer-gency, carefully wash all metallic parts in freshcleaning solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.

Seal components must be kept clean.Handle seal parts with extreme caution toprevent damage. Use care not to contami-nate the precision-finished faces; even fin-gerprints on the faces can shorten seal life.If necessary to clean the faces, use a cleancloth and wipe in a circular pattern.

Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,grooves, and other damage that might cause leak-age. If any components are worn, replace the com-plete seal; never mix old and new seal parts.

If a replacement seal is being used, unwrap themechanical seal components. Check that the sealfaces are clean, undamaged and free of any for-eign matter. Set aside and cover the outboard sealstationary element and O-ring; it will not be useduntil the rotor adjusting sleeve kit (07) is installed.

Place a clean tissue over the seal face of the in-board seal stationary element, and press the ele-ment into the bore of the inboard stationary ele-ment seat sleeve (06AK) until fully seated.

Position the pump on a flat surface with the driveend facing up. Lightly oil the shaft of the rotor/shaft

assembly (03A). Position the inboard rotating por-tion of the seal on the shaft with the sealing face to-ward the pump end of the shaft.

Push this rotating subassembly onto the shaft untilthe seal faces contact. Slide the seal spring overthe shaft until it seats against the seal retainer.

Position the outboard rotating portion of the sealonthe shaft with the sealing face toward the drive endof the shaft. Push this rotating subassembly ontothe shaft until the retainer seats against the sealspring.

Assemble the rotor adjusting sleeve (07) as de-scribed in Pump Reassembly, Section E and po-sition it on a flat surface with the drive end down.

Oil the O-ring (O) and install it in the groove in theseat sleeve (07AB). Position the sleeve over theshoulder on the bearing retaining nut (07AD) andpress the sleeve onto the nut until fully seated.

Lubricate the stationary element O-ring and posi-tion the stationary element in the seat sleeve withthe sealing face up. Cover the sealing face with aclean tissue and use thumb pressure to press thestationary element into the seat sleeve until fullyseated. Remove the tissue and proceed withPump Reassembly, Section E.

Optional Reservoir Kit

An optional pressurized Reservoir Kit is availablefrom the factory for applications requiring a barrierliquid to lubricate and protect the seal from the liq-uid being pumped.

Install the Reservoir Kit as shown in Figure F-4Aand connect the pressurizing source at the maleconnector (13E). Select a suitable barrier liquid ac-cording to the criteria shown in Installation, Sec-tion B.

NOTEThe pressurizing source liquid must be incapableof mixing with the barrier liquid and must be of alesser specific gravity.

For option 60K (ammonia applications), the pres-surizing source may be the discharge of the pump

itself. If so, screw the connector (13E) into the dis-charge gauge port on the pump housing. The res-ervoir may be filled with light refrigeration oil com-patiblewith the neoprene in the seal. Drain and refillthe cavity after every 1000 - 1200 hours of service.

Fill the reservoir through the top fill plug hole(13AB) to the level of the shutoff valve (13AD).Open the shutoff valve and energize the pressuriz-ing source. The source pressure must be equiva-lent to the maximum discharge pressure.

Close the shutoff valve and allow the pres-sure in the reservoir to bleed off beforeopening the fill port plug (13AB).

The barrier liquid will gradually be consumed asthe pump runs. Refill the reservoir when the barrierliquid reaches the middle of the sight gauge(13AC).

When the pump is shut down, isolate the reservoirfrom the pressurizing liquid by closing the shutoffvalve (13AD) or isolating the liquid at its source.

Packing Seal Removal

(Figures F-1 and F-11)

Thepumpdoes not need to bedisassembled to re-move the packing seal.

Loosen the gland locknut (D) and remove thegland retainers (07H) and split gland halves (07G).

Use a stiff wire with a hooked end to remove thepacking rings and lantern ring from the seat sleeve(06AK).Make sure all of the old packing is removedbefore installing the new packing.

It is not recommended that the seat sleeve (06AK)or throttle bushing sleeve be removed from thebackhead, as niether part should be subject towear or breakage under normal circumstances. Ifremoval is required, position the backhead (06A)on the bed of an arbor (or hydraulic) press with thedrive end up and use a suitably sized dowel topress the seat sleeve and throttle bushing sleevefrom the backhead as an assembly.

Consult the factory before attempting to separatethe seat sleeve and throttle bushing sleeve.

Packing Seal Installation

(Figures F-1 and F-11)

If the seat sleeve (06AK) and throttle bushingsleeve (06AD) were removed, position the as-sembled parts in the backhead (06A) so the hole inthe seat sleeve aligns with the lubrication fitting(06AF). Use an arbor (or hydraulic) press to pressthe throttle bushing sleeve into the backhead untilfully seated.

Clean the seal cavity and shaft with a cloth soakedin fresh cleaning solvent.

Most cleaning solvents are toxic andflammable. Use them only in a well ven-tilated area free from flame, sparks, andexcessive heat. Read and follow all pre-cautions printed on solvent containers.

NOTEIt is recommended that replacement packing ringspre-cut to the correct width and length and pack-aged in sets (see the Parts List accompanying yourpump) be ordered from your Gorman-Rupp distrib-utor or the factory. However, if bulk commercialpackingwill be used, prepare and install it in accor-dance with the steps outlined below in order to en-sure that the packing will form a tight seal.

Figure F---12.

Step 1: Determine how much bulk packing will berequired to fill the seal cavity and wrap it around arod the same diameter as the shaft. With the pack-ing wrapped around the rod, cut through each turnas shown in Figure F---12.

If the cut rings are too thick and will not fit in thepacking cavity, place each turn on a clean piece ofpaper and use a length of pipe to roll the ring untilthe thickness has been reduced.Never attempt toflatten a packing ring with a hammer.

Right Wrong

Figure F---13.

Step 2: It is critical that the ends of the cut packingringmeet in a tight parallel fit to ensure proper seal-

ing. Check this fit; it should be correct if thepackingwas cut while wrapped around a rod, but if thepacking was cut while laid out straight the endswillmeet at an angle. Never install packing rings withan angled gap; pressure on adjacent packingrings will cause them to work into the gap and pre-vent the angled ring from closing properly aroundthe shaft.

Some channel-type packing with a lead core mayrequire a slight gapbetween packing rings to allowfor expansion. Consult the packingmanufacturer’sinstallation instructions and follow the recommen-dations.

Figure F---14.

Step 3: Lubricate all metallic packings (foil type,lead core, etc.) with the lubricant recommendedby

the manufacturer. Generally swabbing the I.D. ofthe packing with SAENo. 30 non-detergent oil pro-vides sufficient lubrication.

Lubricate the new packing rings with non-deterg-ent oil before installation. For best performance, donot stretch or separate packing braids. Push eachpacking ring through the backhead into the sealbore and compress it using a blunt ended sleeve(split in half, samediameter as the split glands) andmallet. Each successive layer must be com-pressed and rotated by 90_ to prevent excessiveleakage. Be sure the lantern ring is aligned withthe lubrication port when the packing is fully com-pressed. Addenough packing to fill the seat sleeveto within 3/8-inch (9,5 mm) of the end.

Position the split gland halves (07G) on the shaftand install the gland retainers (07H) over the endsof the split gland. Install the hardware (B and D)and tighten in an alternating pattern until the glandnuts begin to compress the packing.

Do not overtighten the gland nuts. If thepacking rings are compressed too tightly,they may cause the shaft to overheat anddamage the pump.
