Product Manual

Rev. E 921803-012
Never apply electrical power to the system when any of the cov-
erplates are removed.
If using solvent to clean pump components or tank, observe the
solvent manufacturer’s recommendations for safe use and disposal.
INSTALLATION
Aluminum Tank Installation
To prevent thread galling of aluminum ttings, always prepare
the threads for assembly using an anti-seize compound such as
Loctite
®
567
TM
, Hernon
®
Dripstop
®
940, or equivalent.
Make sure all threaded fuel connections are wrapped with three
to four turns of Teon
®
tape or a pipe thread sealant approved for
use with petroleum fuels.
Clean the tank interior of all dirt and debris. Insert the suction pipe
into the tank opening. Tighten the pump into the tank opening until
snug. Do not cross thread.
Make sure the tank is vented. A vent cap rated at 3 psi or less is
recommended.
Clean and bond the suction pipe top and bottom as necessary.
Thread the suction pipe into the inlet tting and tighten snugly.
Trim the suction pipe as necessary to leave approximately 1/2 in.
(1.2 cm) clearance from the bottom of the tank.
Install Electrical Connections
A grounding connection is provided. It is identied as a green colored
binding head screw in the electrical cavity. Connect these pumps
only to a 12-volt DC power source. Do not attempt connection to
a 24-volt DC, 115-volt AC or 230-volt AC power source.
For installation in unclassied areas, the supplied power cord, fuse
and strain relief grip may be used.
NOTE: These components have not been evaluated as part of
the UL Listed Equipment and are not intended for use in a
Hazardous (Classied) Location.
To install the power cord, remove the electrical coverplate. If neces-
sary, trim the power cord to the desired length. Strip 3 to 4 inches
(7.5 to 10 cm) of outer insulation from the power cord end. Then
strip 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) of insulation from the power cord wires. Slide
the strain relief grip onto the power cord so that the threaded end
of the strain relief grip faces the stripped power cord wires. Insert
the power cord through the 1/2 inch NPT connection on the back
of the pump. Using wire nuts, connect black wire to black and red
wire to red in the pump’s electrical cavity. Position the wires inside
the electrical cavity and tighten the strain relief grip securely. Make
sure surfaces are clean. Install the coverplate and tighten securely.
Install Hose and Nozzle
After sealing threads, tighten the hose into the pump outlet and
the nozzle on the hose. The nozzle can be placed in the nozzle
holder only when the pump is off.
OPERATION
ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERAT-
ING THIS EQUIPMENT. REVIEW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Before each use, repair leaks around seals or connections. Make
sure hoses are in good condition and connections are tight. Make
sure the work area is dry. MAKE SURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. Repair any corroded or damaged wiring before use.
Ensure the tank contains enough fuel. Make sure the fuel is not
contaminated with debris. Tighten loose tank lids regularly.
To Dispense Fuel
This pump is designed to self-prime with dry gears.
Turn on the pump by removing the nozzle from the holder and
pushing up the switch lever. Insert the nozzle into the receiving tank
and squeeze the handle to start fuel ow. When done, release the
nozzle handle, turn the pump off, and return the nozzle to its holder.
This pump is designed to be self-priming. If fuel is not delivered
within 15 to 20 seconds, turn the pump off and refer to priming
information in the Troubleshooting Section.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure build up when the
pump is on with the nozzle closed. To avoid pump damage, do
not run the pump more than 5 minutes with the nozzle closed.
After running the pump for a maximum of 15 minutes, allow it to
cool for 30 minutes.
Auxiliary Temperature-Limiting Device
The motor is provided with an internal auxiliary temperature-limiting
device. Excessive motor heat can trip the device. It resets auto-
matically after the motor has cooled.
MAINTENANCE
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor bear-
ings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect the pump and
components regularly for fuel leaks and make sure the hose and
power cord are in good condition. Keep the pump exterior clean
to help identify leaks.
Do not use this pump for water, chemicals or herbicides. Dispensing
any uid other than that listed in this manual will damage the pump.
Use of the pump with unauthorized uids will void the warranty.
If pump is to be installed in a Hazardous (Classied) location,
it must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes 30 and
70. You as the owner, are responsible for seeing that the
installation and operation of your pump complies with NFPA
codes as well as any applicable state and local codes. Rigid
conduit must be used to install wiring. Note that the lead wires
are factory-sealed isolating the motor from the junction box.
Failure to follow these wiring instructions may result in death
or serious injury from shock, re or explosion.
Carefully route the power cord to the battery, protecting the
power cord from hot surfaces, sharp edges or anything that
could damage the power cord, resulting in a short circuit.
A 20-amp fuse is provided to protect the motor and power
cord. Install fuse in the red wire of the power cord adjacent
to the battery. Connect the red wire of the fuse to the positive
(ungrounded) side of the battery. Connect black wire to the
negative (grounded) side of the battery.
