OM−04402 PA SERIES PUMPS
PAGE I − 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman-Rupp Prime-
Aire
T priming-assisted pump. Read this manual
carefully to learn how to safely install and operate
your pump. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or damage to the pump.
A set of manuals accompanies your pump. Each
set consists of three parts; the Installation/Opera-
tion Manual contains essential information on in-
stalling and operating the pump. However, since
pump installations are seldom identical, some of
the information only summarizes general recom-
mendations and practices required to inspect, po-
sition, and arrange the pump and piping.
The Parts List Manual provides a performance
curve, 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 components.
This pump is a PA Series, priming-assisted centrif-
ugal model. The unit is designed for handling non-
volatile, non-flammable liquids containing speci-
fied entrained solids.
Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in-
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re-
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed only after establishing that
neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com-
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated ac-
cording to all national, local and industry stan-
dards.
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
