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.
ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPER-
ATING THIS EQUIPMENT. REVIEW THE SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS. Before each use, repair leaks around seals or connec-
tions. 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.
To Dispense Fuel
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 flow. 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 10 minutes with the nozzle closed.
Motor Protector
The pump contains a motor protector that provides added
protection against motor damage. It must be reset manually.
Clean and bond the suction pipe top and bottom as necessary.
Thread the suction pipe into the inlet fitting 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. 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.
Install Electrical Connections
A grounding connection is provided. It is identified 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 unclassified 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 (Classified) Location.
To install the power cord, remove the electrical coverplate. If
necessary, 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.
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
If pump is to be installed in a Hazardous (Classified) location, it
must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to Na-
tional F
ire Protection Association (NFPA) codes 30 and 70. You
as the owner, are responsible for seeing that the installa-
tion
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.
Fa
ilure to follow these wiring instructions may result in death or
serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.
If the motor protector trips, reset by turning the switch OFF. Let
the pump cool then turn ON again. If the motor protector trips
again, see the Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
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 fluid other than those listed in this manual will
damage the pump. Use of the pump with unauthorized fluids will
void the warranty.
To Clean or Replace Strainer
Turn the pump off and disconnect from power. Remove the
strainer coverplate. Remove the inlet strainer and inspect for
damage or clogs. Clean the strainer with a soft-bristled brush
and solvent. If the strainer is very dirty, compressed air may be
used. If damaged, replace the strainer.
Place the strainer in the cavity. Clean the coverplate and O-ring.
Coat the O-ring lightly with grease. Ensure the coverplate O-ring
is properly seated and tighten the strainer coverplate.
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 25 amp fuse is provided to protect the power cord and motor.
Install fuse in the red wire of the power cord as close as pos-
sible to the battery. Connect the red wire of the fuse to the
positive (ungrounded) side of battery. Connect black wire to
the negative (grounded) side of battery.
F
ailure to follow these instructions could result in death,
serious injury or loss of equipment due to short circuit, fire
or explosion.
