INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp 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.
This pump is a PAH Series
r, priming‐assisted cen­
trifugal model. The unit is designed for handling
non‐volatile, non‐flammable liquids containing
specified entrained solids. The basic material of
construction is ductile iron, with alloy steel shaft
and ductile iron wear ring.
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
your Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the Gorman‐
