SAFETY - SECTION A

This information applies to Prime Aire Series pumps. Refer to the manual ac­companying the engine before attempt­ing to begin operation.
Because pump installations are seldom identical, this manual cannot possibly provide detailed instructions and pre­cautions for each specific application. Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s re­sponsibility to ensure that applications not addressed in this manual are per­formed only after establishing that nei­ther operator safety nor pump integrity are compromised by the installation.
r
forming any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to disengage any part of an overheated pump unit. Vapor pres­sure within the pump casing can eject these parts with great force when they are disengaged. Allow the pump to completely cool before servicing it.
OM−06244
Before attempting to open or service the pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­ual.
2. Shut down the engine and discon­nect the positive battery cable to ensure that the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool if overheated.
4. Check the temperature and make sure the pump is cool before open­ing any covers, plates, or plugs.
5. Close the suction and discharge valves.
6. Vent the pump slowly and cau­tiously.
7. Drain the pump.
This pump is equipped with an automat­ic starting system, and is subject to au­tomatic restart. Keep hands and cloth­ing away from the unit to prevent injury during automatic operation. Disconnect the positive battery cable before per-
This pump is designed to handle most non-volatile, non-flammable liquids containing specified entrained solids. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corro­sive, or flammable liquids which may damage the pump or endanger person­nel as a result of pump failure.
Use lifting and moving equipment in good repair and with adequate capacity to prevent injuries to personnel or dam­age to equipment. Attach lifting equip­ment 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 pip­ing must be removed from the pump be­fore 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 pres­sure, and cause the pump casing to rup­ture or explode. Momentary closure of a discharge valve is acceptable only when required for startup or shutdown procedures.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges, pipe plugs, or fittings from an over­heated pump. Vapor pressure within the pump can cause parts being disen­gaged to be ejected with great force. Al­low the pump to cool completely before servicing.
This pump may be used to handle mate­rials which could cause illness through direct exposure or emitted fumes. Wear adequate protective clothing when working on the pump or piping.
fingers or tools, causing severe injury to personnel.
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 en­gines 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 run­ning 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 Do not operate the pump without guards in place over the rotating parts. Ex­posed rotating parts can catch clothing,

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 ar­range 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.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested be­fore shipment from the factory. Before installation, inspect the pump for damage which may have oc­curred 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 dry­ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur­faces.
PAGE B − 1INSTALLATION

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.
Only operate this pump in the direction in­dicated by the arrow on the pump body and on the accompanying decal. Other­wise, the impeller could become loosened from the shaft and seriously damage the pump.
d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re-
fer to LUBRICATION in the Maintenance and Repair Manual and perform duties as in­structed.
e. If the pump has been stored for more than 12
months, some of the components or lubri­cants may have exceeded their maximum shelf life. These must be inspected or re-
placed to ensure maximum pump service.
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
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if anything appears to be abnormal, contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the factory to deter­mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the pump into service until appropriate action has been taken.
POSITIONING PUMP
Use lifting and moving equipment in good repair and with adequate capacity to prevent injuries to personnel or dam­age to equipment. Attach lifting equip­ment 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
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
the leveling stands are positioned on a
solid surface, and the wheels are
chocked.

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and discharge lines; however, the materials must be compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is used in suction lines, it must be the rigid-wall, rein­forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us­ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom­mended.
Line Configuration
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini­mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan­tially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary, use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
dope should be compatible with the liquid being
pumped.
SUCTION LINES
To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim-
ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as
possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the
line must always slope upward to the pump from
the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line
slopes down to the pump at any point along the
suction run, air pockets will be created.
Fittings
Suction lines should be the same size as the pump
inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they
should be the eccentric type, and should be in-
stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost
to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor-
mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,
install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock-
ets.
Strainers
Be certain to use the strainer furnished with the
pump; any spherical solids which pass through the
strainer will also pass through the pump itself.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex­actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou­plings.
Lines near the pump must be independently sup­ported to avoid strain on the pump which could cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life, and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose-type lines are used, they should have adequate support to secure them when filled with liquid and under pressure.
Gauges
The pump is drilled and tapped for installing dis­charge pressure and vacuum suction gauges. It is recommended that gauges be installed to monitor pump performance. Seal the gauge threads with pipe dope to ensure an airtight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting and applying the pipe dope. The pipe
If a strainer not furnished with the pump is installed
by the pump user, make certain that the total area
of the openings in the strainer is at least three or
four times the cross section of the suction line, and
that the openings will not permit passage of solids
larger than the solids handling capability of the
pump.
This pump is designed to handle up to 3 inch (76,2
mm) diameter spherical solids.
Sealing
Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,
and capacity, especially when operating with a
high suction lift, all connections in the suction line
should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air-
tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations when selecting and applying the
pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible
with the liquid being pumped.
Suction Lines In Sumps
If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it
should be positioned away from the wall of the
PAGE B − 3INSTALLATION
Page 11
OM−06244 PA SERIES
sump at a distance equal to 1 1/2 times the diame­ter of the suction line.
If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc­tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into the sump, and air entering the suction line will re­duce pump efficiency.
If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc­tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the suction inlet at a distance 1-1/2 times the diameter of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into the suction inlet.
If two suction lines are installed in a single sump, the flow paths may interact, reducing the efficiency of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis­tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the suction pipe.
Suction Line Positioning
The depth of submergence of the suction line is
critical to efficient pump operation. Figure 2
shows recommended minimum submergence vs.
velocity.
Although not recommended, the vacuum assisted
priming feature allows the pump to be operated
temporarily in a slurping" application with varying
water levels.
NOTE
The pipe submergence required may be reduced
by installing a standard pipe increaser fitting at the
end of the suction line. The larger opening size will
reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required
submergence using the following formula based
on the increased opening size (area or diameter).
Figure 2. Recommended Minimum Suction Line Submergence vs. Velocity

PA SERIES OM−06244
DISCHARGE LINES
Siphoning
Do not terminate the discharge line at a level lower than that of the liquid being pumped unless a si­phon breaker is used in the line. Otherwise, a si­phoning action causing damage to the pump could result.
Valves
This pump is designed with a check valve in the discharge line.
If a throttling valve is desired in the discharge line, use a valve as large as the largest pipe to minimize friction losses. Never install a throttling valve in a suction line.
With high discharge heads, it is recommended that a throttling valve be installed in the discharge line to protect the pump from excessive shock pres­sure and reverse rotation when it is stopped.
If the application involves a high discharge head, gradually close the discharge throttling valve before stopping the pump.
ALIGNMENT
The alignment of the pump, air compressor and engine is critical for trouble-free mechanical opera­tion. See Section E, Securing Bearing Housing
And Drive Assembly To Engine in MAINTE- NANCE AND REPAIR, for details.
Refer to the information which follows for installa-
tion details for the liquid level sensing system pro-
vided with your pump.
Float Switch Installation
The Float Switch autostart system employs either a
single or double float switch, where a bulb raises or
lowers (floats) with the liquid level, thus activating
an enclosed miniature switch. The floats are
equipped with a socket type connector that plugs
into a matching receptacle on the auto-start control
box.
Standard floats are equipped with 50 feet (15,2 m)
of cable.
When installing the floats, note the following:
a. Be sure to provide sufficient room in the wet
well or sump so that floats do not get ob­structed or drawn into the suction line. If a flex­ible suction hose is used, it may be extended to lay along the bottom of the wet well or sump and the float can be attached to the hose above the point where it bends along the bot­tom. Direct the suction line toward the flow, and the float(s) away from the flow. If a stand­pipe is available, attach the float switch cable to the standpipe in the sump at the approxi­mate desired liquid level.
b. In a single float system, the cable can be teth-
ered to the suction line or standpipe approxi­mately 6 inches (152 mm) above the float. This setting allows approximately 9 inches (229 mm) of liquid rise between pump start/ stop. The start/stop interval may be increased by extending the float end of the cable. The liquid level in the sump will increase approxi­mately 8 inches (203 mm) between start/stop intervals for every 6 inches (152 mm) of cable increase.
AUTO-START
The standard pump is equipped with an auto-start control system which allows the pump to start and stop as the liquid level in the wet well or sump rises and falls.
c. If a double float switch system is used, posi-
tion the Start" float at the desired high water level in the sump, and the Stop" float at the desired low water level in the pump.
d. Refer to Figure 3 for additional float switch
data.

OPERATION
cated (see LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR).
The pump will begin to prime upon startup. The air
in the suction line will be discharged from the educ-
tor discharge line. Complete priming is indicated
by a positive discharge pressure reading.
If full priming is not achieved, the discharge check
valve may be malfunctioning. If this occurs, shut
down the pump and consult Maintenance and
Repair, Section E for further details.
STARTING
Check the fuel level and oil levels in the engine, air
compressor, pump bearings and seal housing.
Make sure the pump is level. Lower the jack stands
and chock the wheels, if so equipped.
This pump is designed to handle most non-volatile, non-flammable liquids containing specified entrained solids and corrosives. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable liquids which may damage the pump or endan­ger personnel as a result of pump fail­ure.
Pump speed and operating condition points must be within the continuous per­formance range shown on the perfor­mance curve in Section E on page E−1.
PRIMING
Install the pump and piping as described in IN­STALLATION. Make sure that the piping connec-
tions are tight, and that the pump is securely mounted. Check that the pump is properly lubri-
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.
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.
Consult the engine operations manual before at-
tempting to start the unit.
Manual Starting
On initial start-up, set the engine speed at in the
half-throttle position. Turn the keyswitch to ‘MANU-
OPERATION PAGE C − 1
Page 15
OM−06244 PA SERIES
AL’. After the engine starts and the unit is fully primed, adjust the engine RPM until the desired flow rate is achieved.
Pump speed and operating condition points must be within the continuous per­formance range shown on the curve on Page E-1.
Automatic Starting
With the float system installed, follow the proce­dures outlined for manual starting and throttle ad­justment. Switch the keyswitch to ‘OFF’ until the water level rises above the on point for the float sys­tem, then turn the keyswitch to the ‘AUTO’ setting. The unit will run until the float signals the control that the water in the wet well is at the float off point, at which time the unit will shut down automatically. When the float signals the control that the water in the wet well is at the float on point, the unit will re­start automatically, repeating the cycle.
Priming
These fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a deadly gas that is colorless, tasteless
and odorless.
Adjust the engine speed to achieve the desired
output. Do not exceed the factory set engine speed
and system operating pressure. Do not operate
below the recommended operating speed (if appli-
cable).
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Refer to the Performance
Curve in the separate Parts List Manual
for the maximum continuous operating
speed for this pump.
OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT
The safety shutdown system will automatically
stop the unit if engine operating temperature ex-
ceeds design limits. If engine over-temperature
shutdown occurs, allow the unit to cool before re-
starting.
The pump will begin to prime upon startup. The air in the suction line will be discharged from the educ­tor discharge line. Complete priming is indicated by a positive discharge pressure reading.
If full priming is not achieved, the discharge check valve may be malfunctioning. If this occurs, shut down the pump and consult the separate Mainte-
nance and Repair manual for further details.
ROUTINE OPERATION
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.
If engine overheating continues, check the engine
lubricant level and viscosity. Consult the engine
operation manual for the recommended lubricant
for operation in extreme heat.
If the unit is being operated in the automatic mode,
adjust the float(s) to allow shorter run and longer
cooling periods, if possible.
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 battery before performing
any maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious personal injury.

OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Leakage
Once the pump is fully primed, no leakage should be visible at pump mating surfaces, or at pump connections or fittings. Keep all line connections and fittings tight to maintain maximum pump effi­ciency.
Pump Vacuum Check
Read the vacuum gauge with the pump primed and at operation speed. Shut off the pump. The vacuum gauge reading will immediately drop pro­portionate to static suction lift, and should then sta­bilize. If the vacuum reading falls off rapidly after stabilization, an air leak exists. Before checking for the source of the leak, check the point of installa­tion of the vacuum gauge.
Liquid Temperature And Overheating
plug to prevent injury to personnel from
hot liquid.
Strainer Check
Check the strainer regularly, and clean it as neces-
sary. The strainer should also be checked if pump
flow rate begins to drop. Monitor and record the
vacuum suction gauge readings regularly to detect
strainer blockage.
Never introduce air or steam pressure into the
pump casing or piping to remove a blockage. This
could result in personal injury or damage to the
equipment. If backflushing is absolutely neces-
sary, liquid pressure must be limited to 50% of the
maximum permissible operating pressure shown
on the pump performance curve.
STOPPING
Manual Stopping
The maximum liquid temperature for this pump is 160 F (71C). Do not apply it at a higher operating temperature.
Overheating can occur if operated with the valves in the suction or discharge lines closed. Operating against closed valves could bring the liquid to a boil, build pressure, and cause the pump to rup­ture or explode. If overheating occurs, stop the pump immediately and allow it to completely cool before servicing it. Approach any over-heated
pump cautiously.
Allow an over-heated pump to com­pletely cool before servicing. Do not re­move plates, covers, gauges, or fittings from an overheated pump. Liquid within the pump can reach boiling tempera­tures, and vapor pressure within the pump can cause parts being disen­gaged to be ejected with great force. Af­ter the pump cools, drain the liquid from the pump by removing the casing drain plug. Use caution when removing the
Never halt the flow of liquid suddenly. If the liquid
being pumped is stopped abruptly, damaging
shock waves can be transmitted to the pump and
piping system. Close all connecting valves slowly.
Reduce the throttle speed slowly and allow the en-
gine to idle briefly before stopping.
In the manual mode, reduce the throttle speed
slowly, and allow the engine to idle briefly before
switching the HAND-OFF-AUTO switch to ‘OFF’.
If the application involves a high discharge
head, gradually close the discharge
throttling valve before stopping the pump.
After stopping the pump, switch off the engine igni-
tion and remove the key to ensure that the pump
will remain inoperative.
Automatic Stopping
In the automatic mode, the pump will stop when
the liquid in the wet well or sump lowers and acti-
vates the Off" float switch(s). The pump will restart
OPERATION PAGE C − 3
Page 17
OM−06244 PA SERIES
automatically when the liquid rises and activates the On" float switch(s).
Safety Shutdown System
The unit is equipped with a safety system to auto­matically shut down the engine under certain con­ditions. The engine will automatically shut down:
1. If the engine exceeds its safe operating tem­perature.
2. If the engine oil pressure drops below design limits.
3. If the engine fails to start within a pre-set peri­od of time.
4. If the engine speed exceeds the safe operat­ing range.
5. If the engine fan belt breaks.
Lights on the control panel will indicate which of the safety features has caused the engine to shut down.
Should any of the safety features cause the engine to shut down, the cause must be determined and corrected before putting the unit back into service. The engine will not restart until the key switch has been returned to the ‘OFF’ position for at least 10 seconds.
All safety shutdown features are pre-set at the fac­tory for optimum performance and safety; do not attempt to adjust these settings.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Seal Cavity And Bearing Lubrication
Both the seal and bearing cavities were fully lubri­cated at the factory. Check the lubrication levels before startup, and regularly thereafter as indi­cated in Section E, Maintenance and Repair. When lubrication is required, use only SAE No. 30 non-detergent oil.
Bearing Temperature Check
Bearings normally run at higher than ambient tem­peratures because of heat generated by friction. Temperatures up to 160F (71C) are considered normal for bearings, and they can operate safely to at least 180F (82C).
Checking bearing temperatures by hand is inaccu­rate. Bearing temperatures can be measured ac­curately by placing a contact-type thermometer against the housing. Record this temperature for future reference.
A sudden increase in bearing temperatures is a warning that the bearings are at the point of failing to operate properly. Make certain that the bearing lubricant is of the proper viscosity and at the cor­rect level (see LUBRICATION in Section E, Main- tenance and Repair). Bearing overheating can also be caused by shaft misalignment and/or ex­cessive vibration.
When pumps are first started, the bearings may seem to run at temperatures above normal. Con­tinued operation should bring the temperatures down to normal levels.
Never disconnect any of the safety shut­down features; this will void the warran­ty and could result in serious damage to the unit and/or injury to personnel. Safe­ty shutdown features are pre-set at the factory; do not attempt to adjust any of the settings. Determine the cause of shutdown before putting the unit back into service. Consult the factory for ad­ditional information.
Air Compressor
The air compressor was lubricated for test at the factory. However, always check the lubrication lev­el before startup.
Consult the manual accompanying the air com­pressor and perform all duties and checks as indi­cated.
Additional Checks
See Page D−4 and perform all recommended pre­ventive maintenance checks applicable to your particular unit.

Consult the manual accompanying the engine and perform any and all routine checks recommended by the engine manufacturer.
COLD WEATHER PRESERVATION
In below freezing conditions, drain the pump to prevent damage from freezing. Also, clean out any solids by flushing with a hose. Operate the pump for approximately one minute; this will remove any
remaining liquid that could freeze the pump rotat­ing parts. If the pump will be idle for more than a few hours, or if it has been pumping liquids con­taining a large amount of solids, drain the pump, and flush it thoroughly with clean water. To prevent large solids from clogging the drain port and pre­venting the pump from completely draining, insert a rod or stiff wire in the drain port, and agitate the liquid during the draining process. Clean out any remaining solids by flushing with a hose.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Since pump applications are seldom identical, and pump wear is directly affected by such things as the abrasive qualities, pressure and temperature of the liquid being pumped, this section is intended only to provide general recommendations and practices for preventive maintenance. Regardless of the application however, following a routine pre­ventive maintenance schedule will help assure trouble-free performance and long life from your Gorman-Rupp pump. For specific questions con­cerning your application, contact your Gorman­Rupp distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
Record keeping is an essential component of a good preventive maintenance program. Changes in suction and discharge gauge readings (if so

equipped) between regularly scheduled inspec­tions can indicate problems that can be corrected before system damage or catastrophic failure oc­curs. The appearance of wearing parts should also be documented at each inspection for comparison as well. Also, if records indicate that a certain part (such as the seal) fails at approximately the same duty cycle, the part can be checked and replaced before failure occurs, reducing unscheduled down time.
For new applications, a first inspection of wearing parts at 250 hours will give insight into the wear rate for your particular application. Subsequent inspec­tions should be performed at the intervals shown on the chart below. Critical applications should be inspected more frequently.

PUMP AND SEAL DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY

PA SERIESOM−06244
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, label and de­cals attached to the pump.
This pump requires little service due to its rugged, minimum-maintenance design. However, if it be­comes necessary to inspect or replace the wearing parts, follow these instructions which are keyed to the Sectional Views (see Figures 1 through 9) and the corresponding Parts Lists. Maintenance and repair instructions for the engine and air compres­sor are covered separately in the specific literature supplied by the manufacturers.
This manual will alert personnel to known proce­dures which require special attention, to those which could damage equipment, and to those which could be dangerous to personnel. However, this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide detailed precautions for every situation that might occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per­sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main- tenance procedures are used, and that any proce­dures not addressed in this manual are performed only after establishing that neither personal safety nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac­tices.
Before attempting to open or service the pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man­ual.
2. Shut down the engine and discon­nect the positive battery cable to ensure that the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool if overheated.
4. Check the temperature and make sure it is cool before opening any covers, plates, gauges, or plugs.
5. Close the suction and discharge valves.
6. Vent the pump slowly and cau­tiously.
7. Drain the pump.
This pump is designed to handle materi­al which could cause illness through di­rect exposure or emitted fumes. Wear adequate protective clothing when working on the pump or piping.
Some pump service functions may be performed without separating the pump end assembly from the engine. However, the priming chamber (2, Fig­ure 3) and discharge check valve assembly (1, Fig­ure 3) must be removed to service most pump components. The following instructions assume complete disassembly of the pump is required.
Before attempting to service the pump, shut down the engine and take precautions to ensure that it will remain inoperative. Close all valves in the suc­tion and discharge lines and drain the pump cas­ing by removing the casing drain plug (20, Figure
5). Clean and reinstall the drain plug.
This pump is equipped with an automat­ic starting system, and is subject to au­tomatic restart. Keep hands and cloth­ing away from the unit to prevent injury during automatic operation. Disconnect the positive battery cable before per­forming any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
Use only replacement parts provided or approved by Gorman-Rupp. Use of non-

authorized parts may result in damage to the equipment and/or injury to personnel and will invalidate the warranty.
Priming Chamber Removal And Disassembly
(Figure 11)
Disconnect the air discharge tubing from the prim­ing chamber assembly (1). Support the priming chamber assembly using a sling and a suitable lift­ing device. Remove the hardware (6 and 7) and separate the priming chamber assembly, gasket (8) and baffle (9) from the spool (33, Figure 8).
(Figure 12)
Remove the hardware (2 and 3) securing the prim­ing valve (1) to the priming chamber (5). Carefully lift the valve components from the priming cham­ber. Remove the gasket (4) and clean the mating surfaces.
If the priming valve float is stuck or the strainer (6) is clogged, it can usually be cleaned without further disassembly.
The only serviceable part of the priming valve is the orifice button (not shown). If liquid continues to by­pass through the priming chamber after adjusting the orifice button (see Priming Chamber Reas- sembly and Installation for adjustment), the but­ton may require replacement. To replace the orifice button, remove one of the e-clips" from the pivot pin closest to the orifice button and remove the piv­ot pin. This will allow the linkage to be raised high enough to access the orifice button.
Remove the hex nut and lockwasher securing the orifice button to the linkage bar and unscrew the orifice button from the linkage bar.
The flapper and cover O-ring are the only service­able parts of the check valve. If the flapper requires replacement, remove the hardware securing the cover. Separate the cover and O-ring and remove the flapper.
Suction Adaptor and Wear Plate Removal
(Figure 6)
The wear plate (26) is easily accessible and may be serviced by removing the suction adaptor (23). Be­fore attempting to service the pump, see Figure 14 and open the shutoff valve (5) to drain the pump casing. When the casing is fully drained, close the shutoff valve.
It is not necessary to remove the hopper spool (33, Figure 8) or suction extension to remove the suc­tion adaptor. Remove the hardware (14 and 15) se­curing the suction adaptor to the suction support bracket (16).
Install two 3/8−16 UNC 2B capscrews (not sup­plied) in the jacking holes in the suction adaptor, and use the screws to jack" the suction adaptor and assembled wear plate from the pump casing (1). Remove the jacking screws from the suction adaptor.
Inspect the wear plate and replace it if badly scored or worn. To remove the wear plate, remove the nuts (17) and adjusting screws (20) and separate the wear plate from the suction adaptor.
Inspect the O-rings (24, 25 and 27) and replace them if damaged or worn.

otherwise serious personal injury or death could result. Suction and dis­charge hoses and piping must be re­moved from the pump before lifting.
(Figure 9)
Removing the pump and drive assembly first re­quires separating the air compressor (57) from the pump assembly.
Disengage the hardware (14, 22, 56 and 65) and remove the guard (64). Loosen the uppermost nuts (17) on the threaded rods (75) enough to be able to remove the cog belt (71) from the sprocket (60).
Remove the hardware (14, 56 and 82) securing the mounting plate (81) to the rotating assembly mounting flange (20, Figure 10).
It is not necessary to remove the piping from the air compressor to separate it from the pump. The hoses are long enough to permit repositioning the compressor to provide room for pump end remov­al. Use a sling and suitable lifting device to reposi­tion the compressor to allow room for pump end re­moval and secure it to prevent movement.
See Figure 3 and remove the air intake cover as­sembly (42) from the base (39). Support the pump end using a hoist and sling, and remove the hard­ware securing the suction support bracket (16, Fig­ure 6) to the base.
(Figure 13)
As the assemblies separate, the flexible portion of the coupling assembly (2) will remain on the shaft. To remove the coupling from the shaft, unscrew the capscrews from the bushing (7). Screw one of the capscrews into the puller hole in the circumference of the bushing. As the coupling and bushing sepa­rate, remove the bushing and slide the coupling off the shaft. Remove the bushing key.
It is not necessary to remove the outer ring of the coupling from the engine flywheel unless the cou­pling must be replaced. To remove the ring, disen­gage the hardware (5) securing it to the flywheel.
Remove any leveling shims used under the casing mounting feet. Tie and tag the shims for ease of reassembly.
Move the pump end to a clean, well-equipped shop area for further disassembly.

Remove the cog belt (71). Remove the setscrews from the center of the bushing (70). Reinstall the one of the setscrews in the tapped hole in the bush­ing and tighten it to jack" the bushing out of the drive sprocket (74). Slide the bushing and drive sprocket off the shaft. Remove the key (10).
Loosening Impeller
(Figure 6)
See Figure 6 and place a clean drip pan under the outlet for the drain assembly (90). Open the drain assembly valve and drain the oil from the seal and bearing cavities. Inspect the seal oil for water, dirt or a cloudy condition which could indicate seal fail­ure.
After draining the bearing and seal cavities, dis­connect the lines for the drain assembly from the bearing housing (10, Figure 10).
See Figure 13 and remove the hardware (3 and 4) securing the intermediate to the engine bellhou­sing. Remove the intermediate guards (17, Figure
10) and separate the assemblies by pulling the­pump assembly straight away from the engine.
With the pump end separated from the engine, wedge a block of wood between the vanes of the impeller (1, Figure 10) and the pump casing (1) to prevent rotation.
Install the shaft key (24, Figure 10) in the shaft key­way. Install a lathe dog on the drive end of the shaft (25, Figure 10) with the V" notch positioned over the shaft key.
With the impeller rotation still blocked, see Figure 14 and use a long piece of heavy bar stock to pry against the arm of the lathe dog in a counterclock­wise direction (when facing the drive end of the shaft). Use caution not to damage the shaft or key­way. When the impeller breaks loose, remove the lathe dog, key and wood block.

Use a wooden dowel or other suitable tool to press on the back side of the stationary seat until the seat, O-rings, and stationary element can be re­moved.
Remove the shaft sleeve O-ring (4) and seal plate O-ring (27).
If no further disassembly is required, refer to Seal

Shaft and Bearing Removal and Disassembly
(Figure 10)
When the pump is properly operated and main­tained, the bearing housing should not require dis­assembly. Disassemble the shaft and bearings only when there is evidence of wear or damage.
Shaft and bearing disassembly in the field is not recommended. These operations should be performed only in a properly equipped shop by qualified personnel.
Disengage the hardware (18 and 19) and remove the mounting flange (20), gasket (21) and oil seal (7B). Press the oil seal from the mounting flange.
Place a block of wood against the impeller end of the shaft (25) and tap the shaft and assembled bearings (23 and 26) from the bearing housing. Press the oil seals (7 and 7A) from the bearing housing.
After removing the shaft and bearings, clean and inspect the bearings in place as follows.
Seal Removal
(Figures 10 and 15)
Slide the integral shaft sleeve and rotating portion of the seal off the shaft as a unit.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E − 27
To prevent damage during removal from the shaft, it is recommended that bearings
Page 50
PA SERIESOM−06244
be cleaned and inspected in place. It is strongly recommended that the bearings
be replaced any time the shaft and bear- ings are removed.
Clean the bearing housing, shaft and all compo­nent parts (except the bearings) with a soft cloth soaked in cleaning solvent. Inspect the parts for wear or damage and replace as necessary.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and flammable. Use them only in a well ven­tilated area free from excessive heat, sparks, and flame. Read and follow all precautions printed on solvent contain­ers.
Clean the bearings thoroughly in fresh cleaning solvent. Dry the bearings with filtered compressed air and coat with light oil.
Shaft and Bearing Reassembly and Installation
(Figure 10)
Inspect the shaft (25) for distortion, nicks or scratches, or for thread damage on the impeller end. Dress small nicks and burrs with a fine file or emery cloth. Replace the shaft if defective.
Clean and inspect the bearings as indicated in Shaft And Bearing Removal And Disassembly.
To prevent damage during removal from the shaft, it is recommended that bearings be cleaned and inspected in place. It is strongly recommended that the bearings be replaced any time the shaft and bear- ings are removed.
The bearings may be heated to ease installation. An induction heater, hot oil bath, electric oven, or hot plate may be used to heat the bearings. Bear­ings should never be heated with a direct flame or directly on a hot plate.
Bearings must be kept free of all dirt and foreign material. Failure to do so will great­ly shorten bearing life. Do not spin dry bearings. This may scratch the balls or races and cause premature bearing fail­ure.
Rotate the bearings by hand to check for rough­ness or binding and inspect the bearing balls. If ro­tation is rough or the bearing balls are discolored, replace the bearings.
The bearing tolerances provide a tight press fit onto the shaft and a snug slip fit into the bearing housing. Replace the bearings, shaft, or bearing housing if the proper bearing fit is not achieved.
If bearing replacement is required, remove the snap ring (22) and use a bearing puller to remove the inboard and outboard bearings from the shaft.
NOTE
If a hot oil bath is used to heat the bearings, both the oil and the container must be absolutely clean. If the oil has been previously used, it must be thor-
oughly filtered.
NOTE
Position the inboard bearing (26) on the shaft with the shield facing toward the impeller end of the shaft. Position the outboard bearing (23) on the shaft with the retaining ring on the bearing O.D. to- ward the drive end of the shaft.
Heat the bearings to a uniform temperature no higher than 250F (120C) and slide the bearings
onto the shaft, one at a time, until they are fully seated. This should be done quickly, in one con­tinuous motion, to prevent the bearings from cool­ing and sticking on the shaft.
After the bearings have been installed and allowed to cool, check to ensure that they have not moved away from the shaft shoulders in shrinking. If movement has occurred, use a suitably sized

sleeve and a press to reposition the bearings against the shaft shoulders.
If heating the bearings is not practical, use a suit­ably sized sleeve and an arbor (or hydraulic) press to install the bearings on the shaft.
When installing the bearings onto the shaft, never press or hit against the outer race, balls, or ball cage. Press only on the inner race.
Secure the outboard bearing (23) to the shaft with the snap ring (22)
Apply a light coating of oil to the lip of the inboard oil seal (7A) and press it into the bearing housing bore with the lip positioned as shown in Figure 10, Detail C. Press the oil seal into the housing until the face is just flush with the machined surface on the hous­ing.
C. The face of the oil seal should be just flush with the machined face of the bearing housing.
Apply a light coating of oil to the lip of the oil seal (7B) and press it into the mounting flange (20) with the lip positioned as shown in Figure 10, Detail B. The face of the oil seal should be flush with the chamfer on the mounting flange bore.
Install the drive flange gasket (21) and secure the drive flange to the bearing housing with the hard­ware (18 and 19). Be careful not to damage the lip of the oil seal on the shaft keyway.
Lubricate the bearings as indicated in LUBRICA-
TION at the end of this section.
Securing Bearing Housing and Drive Assembly To Engine
(Figure 13)
Install the key (6) in the shaft keyway, making sure to leave room in the keyway for the coupling key. Install the drive sprocket (1) and bushing (8) on the shaft to the dimension shown in Figure 13.
It is recommended that a sleeve be positioned against the inboard oil seal to prevent the lip of the oil seal from rolling as the shaft and bearings are installed in the bearing housing. The O.D. of the sleeve should be just smaller than the bearing housing bore, while the I.D. of the sleeve should be just larger than the O.D. of the lip seal area of the shaft.
With the lip seal sleeve in place, lubricate the lip seal area of the shaft, and slide the shaft and as­sembled bearings into the bearing housing until the retaining ring on the outboard bearing seats against the bearing housing. Remove the lip seal sleeve.
When installing the shaft and bearings into the bearing bore, push against the outer race. Never hit the balls or ball cage.
Apply a light coating of oil to the lip of the outboard oil seal (7) and press it into the bearing housing with the lip positioned as shown in Figure 10, Detail
Make certain that the drive sprocket is mounted as shown in Figure 13. This di- mension is critical. If the drive sprocket is not properly positioned on the shaft, it will not align properly with the driven sprocket on the air compressor, which can cause premature cog belt failure.
Secure the bushing and sprocket to the shaft by torqueing the bushing setscrews to 14.6 ft. lbs. (175 in. lbs. or 2 m. kg.). Install the cog belt (71, Fig­ure 9) over the sprocket and up through the slot in the mounting flange (20, Figure 10).
Install the key for the bushing (7) in the shaft key­way. Position the flexible portion of the coupling as­sembly (2) on the shaft as shown in Figure 13.
NOTE
The flexible portion of the coupling must be proper­ly positioned on the shaft. The heads of the caps­crews in the center of the coupling must be posi- tioned away from the pump.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E − 29

PA SERIESOM−06244
Align the keyway in the bushing (7) with the bush­ing key, and slide it onto the shaft to the dimension shown in Figure 13. Rotate the flexible portion of the coupling until the tapped holes for the two set­screws align with those in the bushing, and install the capscrews.
Make certain that the flexible portion of the coupling is mounted as shown in Figure
13. This dimension is critical. If the cou­pling is not properly positioned on the shaft, the coupling parts may not fully en­gage, or a pre-load condition can cause premature bearing failure.
The end of the shaft must extend 1.38 inches (35 mm) from the face of the cou- pling. This will allow the two portions of the coupling to fully engage when the interme­diate is secured to the engine bellhousing, without pre-loading the bearings.
With the flexible portion of the coupling and the bushing properly positioned on the shaft, tighten the capscrews in an alternating sequence until the bushing and coupling are fully secured. Torque the capscrews to 9 ft. lbs. (108 in. lbs. or 1,2 m. kg.).
Install the intermediate guards (17, Figure 10), and secure the mounting flange to the engine bellhous­ing with the previously removed hardware (3 and
4).
(Figure 9)
Use a suitable hoist and sling to position the air compressor (57) on the mounting flange (20, Fig­ure 10) and secure it to the mounting flange with the previously removed hardware (14, 56 and 82).
Slide the cog belt (71) over the air compressor driv­en sprocket (60). Turn the uppermost nuts (17) on the threaded rods (75) evenly in a cross pattern to tighten the cog belt on the sprockets. Do not over­tighten the cog belt.
NOTE
Tension on the cog belt should be enough so the belt feels snug or taut. Avoid over-tensioning the belt. To check belt tension, finish reassembling the pump, then start the unit. A belt that is too loose will jump teeth" under load. If this occurs, gradually in­crease the belt tension until satisfactory operation is achieved.
Reinstall the guard (64) and secure it with the hard­ware (14, 22, 56 and 65).
(Figure 6)
If the complete coupling assembly is being re­placed, apply ‘Loctite Retaining Compound No. 242’ or equivalent to the threads of the hardware (5), and secure the outer ring of the coupling to the engine flywheel by torquing the hardware to 16 ft. lbs. (192 in. lbs. or 2,2 m. kg.).
Using a suitable lifting device, position the as­sembled drive and rotating assembly so the flex­ible portion of the coupling seats inside the outer ring attached to the engine flywheel.
NOTE
To ease installation, lightly lubricate the rubber por­tion of the coupling with a non-petroleum based lubricant such as vegetable oil or glycerin, or a sili­con-based lubricant such as WD40" or equivalent. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, or any oth­er substance which may soften or otherwise dam­age the rubber.
Re-connect the lines for the drain assembly (90) to the drain ports in the bearing housing (29, Figure
10). Be sure to connect the correct drain line to the corresponding drain port (seal or bearing cavity).
Seal Reassembly and Installation

Slide the tube over the shaft threads, then slide the O-ring off the tube and onto the shaft. Remove the tube, and continue to slide the O-ring down the shaft until it seats against the shaft shoulder.

A new seal assembly should be installed any time the old seal is removed from the pump. Wear patterns on the finished faces cannot be realigned during reassembly. Reusing an old seal could result in prema­ture failure.
Handle the seal parts with extreme care to prevent damage. Be careful not to contaminate precision finished faces; even fingerprints on the faces can shorten seal life. If necessary, clean the faces with a non-oil based solvent and a clean, lint-free tissue. Wipe lightly in a concentric pattern to avoid scratching the faces.
Carefully wash all metallic parts in fresh cleaning solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.

Apply a small amount of ‘Never-Seez’ or equivalent anti-lock compound on the shaft threads. Screw the impeller onto the shaft until tight.
Do not attempt to separate the rotating portion of the seal from the shaft sleeve when reusing an old seal. The rubber bel­lows will adhere to the sleeve during use, and attempting to separate them could damage the bellows.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring, grooves, and other damage that might cause leak­age. Inspect the integral shaft sleeve for nicks or cuts on either end. If any components are worn, or the sleeve is damaged, replace the complete seal; never mix old and new seal parts.
Install the stationary seal element in the stationary seat. Press this stationary subassembly into the seal plate bore until it seats squarely against the bore shoulder. A push tube made from a piece of plastic pipe would aid this installation. The I.D. of the pipe should be slightly larger than the O.D. of the shaft sleeve.
Slide the rotating portion of the seal (consisting of the integral shaft sleeve, spring centering washer, spring, bellows and retainer, and rotating element) onto the shaft until the seal faces contact.
Proceed with Impeller Installation and Adjust-
ment.
Impeller Installation And Adjustment
(Figure 10)
NOTE
At the slightest sign of binding, immediately back the impeller off, and check the threads for dirt. Do
not try to force the impeller onto the shaft.
A clearance of .025 to .040 inch (0,64 to 1,02 mm) between the impeller and the seal plate is neces­sary for maximum pump efficiency. Measure this clearance and add or remove impeller adjusting shims as required.
Pump Casing Installation
(Figure 10)
Lubricate the O-rings (31 and 32) with light grease, and install them in the grooves in the bearing hous­ing and seal plate. Slide the pump casing over the rotating assembly. Be careful not to damage the O-rings.
Install the adjusting shims (22) and secure the pump casing to the rotating assembly with the hardware (29 and 30).
Wear Plate and Suction Adaptor Installation
(Figure 10)
If the wear plate (5) was removed for replacement, install new O-rings (33 and 41) on the wear plate and lubricate them with light grease. Slide the wear plate studs through the holes in the suction adap­tor (64). Press the wear plate into the suction adap­tor until fully seated.
Inspect the impeller (1) and replace it if cracked or badly worn.
The shaft and impeller threads must be completely clean before reinstalling the im­peller. Even the slightest amount of dirt on the threads can cause the impeller to seize to the shaft, making future removal difficult or impossible without damage to the im­peller or shaft.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E − 33
Install new O-rings (40 and 45) in the grooves in the suction adaptor and lubricate them with light grease. Clean any scale or debris from the contact­ing surfaces in the pump casing that might inter­fere or prevent a good seal with the suction adap­tor.
Slide the suction adaptor and wear plate into the pump casing. Secure the suction adaptor to the suction support bracket (42) and pump casing with the hardware (10 and 48). Reinstall the re­maining suction adaptor hardware (10 and 62). Se­cure the suction adaptor bracket to the base with the previously removed hardware.
Page 56
PA SERIESOM−06244
Screw the four adjusting screws (43) into the tapped holes in the suction adaptor until they touch the wear plate. Use the lock collars (44) to turn the adjusting screws in an alternating se­quence until the wear plate just touches the impel­ler.
Position the lock collars over the adjusting screws so the holes in the collars for the locking screws (46) align approximately with the corresponding holes in the suction cover. Use the lock collars to index the adjusting screws three detents counter­clockwise. Remove the lock collars, index them clockwise until the holes in the collars for the lock­ing screws realign with the corresponding holes in the suction adaptor and reinstall them on the ad­justing screws.
Secure the wear plate to the suction adaptor by installing the nuts (34). Secure the locking collars to the back cover plate with the hardware (30 and
46).
Be sure the wear plate does not scrape against the impeller.
Over time it may be necessary to repeat the adjust­ment process to compensate for normal wear be­tween the impeller and wear plate. When all of the adjustment has been used on the suction side of the pump, an additional 0.125 inch (3,2 mm) of ad­justment may be obtained by removing the rotat­ing assembly adjusting shims (75).
Allow an installed pump to completely cool before draining liquid from the pump casing. Disengage the hardware (29 and 30), remove the rotating as­sembly adjusting shims, then reinstall the hard­ware securing the rotating assembly to the pump casing. Perform the suction adaptor adjustment procedure described above to obtain the proper face clearance.
Install the valve cover O-ring and secure the cover to the body with the previously removed hardware.
Apply a small amount of light grease to the dis­charge flange gasket to hold it in place and posi­tion it against the pump casing flange. Support the discharge check valve assembly using a sling and a suitable lifting device. Using the previously re­moved hardware, secure the discharge check valve assembly and flange gasket (49) to the ec­centric reducer spool (50).
Priming Chamber Assembly And Installation

If the orifice button was removed, screw the new orifice button into the linkage bar until fully seated. Align the hole in the linkage bar with the holes in the bracket and reinstall the pivot pin. Secure the pivot pin with the previously removed e-clip".
Adjust the orifice button seating as necessary by screwing the orifice button into or out of the linkage bar. Proper adjustment is achieved when the ori­fice button fully seats against the orifice before the linkage bar on the float bottoms against the threads on the orifice button. When adjustment is complete, install and tighten the lock washer and hex nut securing the orifice button.
Install the strainer (6) and priming valve gasket (4).
Lower the float into the priming chamber (5) and secure the priming valve with the previously re­moved hardware (2 and 3).

When lubricating a dry (overhauled) intermediate, fill the bearing cavity with approxi­mately 10 ounces (0,3 liter) to the midpoint of the sight gauge. Clean and reinstall the air vent. Do not over-lubricate. Over-lubrication can cause the bearings to over-heat, resulting in premature bear­ing failure.
NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi­tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
Under normal conditions, drain the bearing hous­ing once each year and refill with clean oil. Change the oil more frequently if the pump is operated con­tinuously or installed in an environment with rapid temperature change.
NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi­tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
