INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

115V AC Wiring Instructions for FR600 / SD600 AC Fuel Transfer Pumps

• Ground wire in supply wiring MUST be connected to the ground screw inside the junction box.

• All pumps will operate at the rated nameplate voltage.

• AC power should be supplied to the pump from a dedicated circuit with a 15 amp circuit protection. No other

equipment should be powered by this circuit.

• Wiring must be of sufficient size to carry the correct current for the pump.

• Voltage drop will vary with distance to pump and size of wire; refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local codes

for voltage drop compensation to be sure you are using the correct size wire for your application. Undersized wires can

overheat and cause a fire.

• Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrocution.

• Each Tuthill motor is labeled as explosion-proof for hazardous locations Class I / Division 1. It is highly recommended

that any repairs be done by an authorized distributor to avoid voiding the warranty. It is very important to maintain the

explosion-proof integrity of the motor and system components.

• Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national

electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA30, and NFPA 30A) as appropriate to the intended use of the pump.

The pump must be properly grounded. Improper installation or use of this pump can result in serious bodily injury or death.

Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on the distance from the electrical source to the pump and the gauge of the wire

used. Tuthill recommends referring to national, international, or local electrical codes to ensure the wire is of the correct

size for your application. The following chart is to be used as a reference and is not a substitute to electrical codes.
