SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to Prime Aire
Series pumps. Refer to the manual accompanying the engine or power
source 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.
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
SAFETY
the positive battery cable before performing any maintenance. Failure to do
so may result in serious personal injury.
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
PAGE A − 1
OM−06057
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.
Do not operate the pump without guards
in place over the rotating parts. Exposed rotating parts can catch clothing,
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
exceeded. Refer to the Performance
Curve in Section, Page E-1 for the maximum continuous operating speed for
this pump.

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.
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
a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged
threads, and other obvious damage.
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:
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hardware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after drying, check for loose hardware at mating surfaces.
INSTALLATION
PAGE B − 1
OM−06057
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. Refer 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 replaced 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 determine 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 charging instructions.
Before installing the battery, clean the positive and
negative cable connectors, and the battery terminals. Secure the battery by tightening the
holddown brackets. The terminals and clamps
may be coated with petroleum jelly to retard corrosion. 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 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.
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 mounting 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 positioned as level as possible to ensure sufficient lubrication and fuel supply to the engine.
If the pump has been mounted on a moveable
base, make certain the base is stationary by setting

lines are used, they should have adequate support
to secure them when filled with liquid and under
pressure.
Gauges
If the pump has been mounted on a movable 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.
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by increased suction lift, discharge elevation, and friction losses. See the performance curve and operating range shown on Page E-1 to be sure your
overall application allows pump to operate within
the safe operation range.
Materials
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.
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
INSTALLATION
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
dope should be compatible with the liquid being
pumped.
SUCTION LINES
To avoid air pockets which could affect pump priming, 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 installed with the flat part of the reducers uppermost
to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not normally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,
install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pockets.
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.
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.
PAGE B − 3
OM−06057
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 airtight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations 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
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
PAGE B − 4
PA SERIES
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).

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.
INSTALLATION
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 Intermediate And
Drive Assembly To Engine in MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR, for details.
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.
Refer to the information which follows for installation details for the liquid level sensing system provided with your pump.
PAGE B − 5
OM−06057
PA SERIES
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 stand-
b. In a single float system, the cable can be tethered 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.
c. If a double float switch system is used, position 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.

OPERATION − SECTION C
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, labels and
decals attached to the pump.
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.
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 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.
OPERATION
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.
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
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. Disconnect the positive battery cable before performing any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
Consult the engine operations manual before attempting to start the unit.
Manual Starting
Install the pump and piping as described in INSTALLATION. Make sure that the piping connections are tight, and that the pump is securely
mounted. Check that the pump is properly lubricated (see LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR).
OPERATION
On initial start-up, set the engine speed at in the
half-throttle position. Turn the keyswitch to ‘MANUAL’. After the engine starts and the unit is fully
primed, adjust the engine RPM until the desired
flow rate is achieved.
PAGE C − 1
OM−06057
PA SERIES
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.
OPERATION
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
plug to prevent injury to personnel from
hot liquid.
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
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.
PAGE C − 2
As a safeguard against rupture or explosion due to
heat, this pump is equipped with a pressure relief
valve which will open if vapor pressure within the
pump casing reaches a critical point. If over-heating does occur, stop the pump immediately and allow it to cool before servicing it. Approach any
over-heated pump cautiously. It is recommended that the pressure relief valve assembly be
replaced at each overhaul, or any time the pump
casing over-heats and activates the valve. Never
replace this valve with a substitute which has not
been specified or provided by the Gorman-Rupp
Company.
Strainer Check
Check the strainer regularly, and clean it as necessary. 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 necessary, liquid pressure must be limited to 50% of the
maximum permissible operating pressure shown
on the pump performance curve.
STOPPING
Never halt the flow of liquid suddenly. If the liquid
being pumped is stopped abruptly, damaging
OPERATION
OM−06057
PA SERIES
Reduce the throttle speed slowly and allow the engine to idle briefly before stopping.
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 the Maintenance
and Repair Manual). Bearing overheating can also
be caused by shaft misalignment and/or excessive
vibration.
If the application involves a high discharge
head, gradually close the discharge
throttling valve before stopping the pump.
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.
After stopping the pump, switch off the engine ignition and remove the key to ensure that the pump
will remain inoperative.
Cold Weather Preservation
shock waves can be transmitted to the pump and
piping system. Close all connecting valves slowly.
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 (82C).
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.
OPERATION
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
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBABLE REMEDY
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
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 10) and
the accompanying parts list.
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 maintenance 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 service the pump, shut down
the engine and take precautions to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative. Close all valves in the
suction and discharge lines.
For engine disassembly and repair, consult the literature supplied with the engine, or contact your
local engine representative.

PAGE E − 26
Since the mechanical seal is the primary seal in the
pump, special consideration should be given to
ensure proper installation.
The seal is not normally reused because wear patterns on the finished faces cannot be realigned
during reassembly. This could result in premature
failure. If necessary to reuse an old seal in an emergency, carefully wash all metallic parts in fresh
cleaning solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
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.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,
grooves, and other damage that might cause leakage. Clean and polish the shaft sleeve, or replace it
if there are nicks or cuts on either end. If any components are worn, replace the complete seal;
never mix old and new seal parts.
If a replacement seal is being used, remove it from
the container and inspect the precision finished
faces to ensure that they are free of any foreign
matter.
To ease installation of the seal, lubricate the bellows and stationary seat O-rings with water or a
very small amount of oil, and apply a drop of light
lubricating oil on the finished faces. Assemble the
seal as follows, (see Figure 12).

If the wear ring (51) was removed, chill the wear
ring by refrigeration and heat the suction head.
Slide the wear ring into the suction head until fully
seated and allow it to cool.
The wear ring must seat squarely in the
suction head; otherwise binding and/or excessive wear will occur. Use caution when
handling hot parts to prevent burns.
The wear ring is secured to the suction head with
the spiral pins (50). Drill three evenly spaced
3/16-inch diameter x 3/4-inch deep holes through
the wear ring and into the suction head. Tap the
spiral pins into the holes until fully seated.

button squarely engages the valve seat. Replace
the orifice button if required (see Priming Chamber Removal and Disassembly for orifice button
removal).
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

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
The pedestal was fully lubricated when shipped
from the factory. Check the oil level regularly
through the sight gauges (18) and maintain it at the
midpoint of the gauges. When lubrication is required, remove the vented plug (19) and add SAE
No. 30 non-detergent oil through the opening.
Clean and reinstall the vented plug. 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 approximately 14
ounces (0,4 liter) of clean oil. Change the oil more
frequently if the pump is operated continuously or
installed in an environment with rapid temperature
change.

For cold weather operation, consult the factory or a
lubricant supplier for the recommended grade of
oil.
Monitor the condition of the bearing lubricant regularly for evidence of rust or moisture condensation. This is especially important in areas where variable hot and
cold temperatures are common.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What types of liquids can this pump handle?
This pump is designed for non-volatile and non-flammable liquids, such as water, but can also handle liquids with specified entrained solids.
What is the maximum suction lift this pump can handle?
Refer to the performance curve and operating range shown on Page E-1 in the manual to determine the maximum suction lift for your specific application.
How do I install the float switch system?
The float switch system employs a single or double float switch that activates an enclosed miniature switch as the liquid level rises and falls. Refer to the installation details for the liquid level sensing system provided with your pump.
What types of materials should I use for the suction and discharge lines?
Use materials compatible with the liquid being pumped. For suction lines, use rigid-wall, reinforced hose to prevent collapse under suction. Keep lines straight and minimize use of elbows and fittings.
