PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A

This information applies to Prime Aire

Series pumps. Refer to the manual ac

companying the engine or power

source before attempting to begin oper

ation.

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. Shut down the engine and discon

nect the positive battery cable, or

lock out incoming power to the mo

tor and take precautions to ensure

that the pump will remain inopera

tive.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Check the temperature and make

sure the pump is cool before open

ing 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 to handle most

non‐volatile, non‐flammable liquids

containing specified entrained solids.

Do not attempt to pump volatile, corro

sive, or flammable liquids which may

damage the pump or endanger person

nel as a result of pump failure.

Use lifting and moving equipment in

good repair and with adequate capacity

to prevent injuries to personnel or dam

age to equipment. Attach lifting equip

ment to the lifting device fitted to the

pump. If chains or cable 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. The bail is intended for

use in lifting the pump assembly only.

Suction and discharge hoses and pip

ing must be removed from the pump be

fore lifting.

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are tight, properly

supported and secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve. If operated

against a closed discharge valve, pump

components will deteriorate, and the

liquid could come to a boil, build pres

sure, and cause the pump casing to rup

ture or explode. Momentary closure of a

discharge valve is acceptable only

PA SERIESOM-06110

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

when required for startup or shutdown

procedures.

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 completely before

servicing.

This pump may be used to handle mate

rials which could cause illness through

direct exposure or emitted fumes. Wear

adequate protective clothing when

working on the pump or piping.

This pump is equipped with automatic

liquid level controls, and is subject to

automatic restart. Keep hands and

clothing away from the unit to prevent

injury during automatic operation. Dis

connect the positive battery cable be

fore performing any maintenance. Fail

ure to do so may result in serious per

sonal injury.

Make sure the pump is level. Lower jack

stands and chock the wheels, if so

equipped. Use caution when positioning

the skid‐mounted unit to prevent damage

to the fuel tank.

Do not operate an internal combustion

engine in an explosive atmosphere.

When operating an internal combustion

engine in an enclosed area, make sure

exhaust fumes are piped to the outside.

These fumes contain carbon monoxide,

a deadly gas that is colorless, tasteless

and odorless.

Fuel used by internal combustion en

gines presents an extreme explosion

and fire hazard. Make certain that all

fuel lines are securely connected and

free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run

ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel

tank. Always use the correct type of fuel.

Never tamper with the governor to gain

more power. The governor establishes

safe operating limits that should not be

exceeded. The maximum continuous

operating speed for this pump is 1800

RPM.

PA SERIES OM-06110

PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

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 positioned

above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the

maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp

distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

Pump Dimensions

See Figure 1 for the approximate physical dimen

sions of this pump.

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 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.

OM-06110 PA SERIES

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings

on the pump assembly, and perform all duties

indicated. Note that the pump shaft rotates in

the required direction.

d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re

fer to LUBRICATION in the Maintenance and

Repair Manual and perform duties as in

structed.

e. If the pump has been stored for more than 12

months, some of the components or lubri

cants may have exceeded their maximum

shelf life. These must be inspected or re

placed to ensure maximum pump service.

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.

Battery Installation

Unless otherwise specified on the pump order, the

engine battery is not included with engine driven

units.

Refer to the information accompanying the battery

and/or electrolyte solution for activation and charg

ing instructions.

Before installing the battery, clean the positive and

negative cable connectors, and the battery termi

nals. Secure the battery by tightening the

holddown brackets. The terminals and clamps

may be coated with petroleum jelly to retard corro

sion. Connect and tighten the positive cable first,

then the negative cable.

POSITIONING PUMP

Use lifting and moving equipment in

good repair and with adequate capacity

to prevent injuries to personnel or dam

age to equipment. Attach lifting equip

ment to the lifting device fitted to the

pump. If chains or cable 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. The bail is intended for

use in lifting the pump assembly only.

Suction and discharge hoses and pip

ing must be removed from the pump be

fore lifting.

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 chains or cables used to lift

and move the unit are improperly wrapped

around the pump.

Mounting

Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as

practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount

ing is essential for proper operation. The pump

may have to be supported or shimmed to provide

for level operation and eliminate vibration.

For engine driven units, the pump must be posi

tioned as level as possible to ensure sufficient lubri

cation and fuel supply to the engine.

If the pump has been mounted on a moveable

base, make certain the base is stationary by setting

the brake and blocking the wheels before attempt

ing to operate the pump.

If the pump has been mounted on a mov

able base, do not attempt to operate the

pump unless the unit is level. Be sure
