SAFETY
When checking alignment, disconnect
the power source to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative. Rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers or
tools, causing severe injury to person
nel.
Do not operate the diaphragm primer
without a guard in place over the rotat
ing parts. Exposed rotating parts can
catch clothing, fingers, or tools, causing
severe injury to personnel.
This diaphragm primer may be used to
handle materials which could cause ill
ness through direct exposure or emitted
fumes. Wear adequate protective cloth
ing when working on the diaphragm
primer or piping.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well‐ven
tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
precautions printed on solvent contain
ers.
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.
Use
Only Genuine Gorman-Rupp
re
placement parts. Failure to do so may cre
ate a hazard and damage the diaphragm
primer or diminish optimal diaphragm
primer performance. Any such hazard,
damage or diminished performance is not
covered by the warranty.
Pumps and related equipment must be in
stalled and operated according to all na
tional, local and industry standards.
Adjusting the alignment in one direction
may alter the alignment in another direc
tion. Check each procedure after altering
alignment.
It may be possible for a small amount of flu
id to be expelled from the discharge port of
the diaphragm primer. If any notable
amount of fluid is being discharged during
operation, it could indicate necessary re
pairs within the priming chamber assem
bly. If the discharged fluid is lubricating oil,
the diaphragm primer should be inspected
and repaired as necessary.
Shaft and bearing disassembly in the field
is not recommended. These operations
should be performed only in a properly
equipped shop by qualified personnel.
