pump can cause parts being disen­
gaged to be ejected with great force. Af­
ter the pump completely cools, drain the
liquid from the pump by removing the
casing drain plug. Use caution when re­
moving the plug to prevent injury to per­
sonnel from hot liquid.
AUTOMATIC AIR RELEASE VALVE
When properly installed, a Gorman‐Rupp Auto­
matic Air Release Valve will permit air to escape
through the bypass line and then close automati­
cally when the pump is fully primed and pumping
at full capacity.
Some leakage (1 to 5 gallons [3.8 to 19
liters] per minute) will occur when the
valve is fully closed. Be sure the bypass
line is directed back to the wet well or
tank to prevent hazardous spills.
Consult the Air Release Valve manual accompany­
ing the pump for additional information on valve
installation and performance.
