SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical wiring should be done by a
licensed electrician in compliance with
local and state codes. Rigid conduit
should be used and a proper ground
must be provided to avoid the possibility
of electrical shock. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in serious
injury and/or loss of property. Use only
static wire, conductive hose when
pumping flammable fluids.
WARNING
This product should not be used for fluid transfer into aircraft. This
product is not suited for use with fluids for human comsumption or
fluids containing water.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, it is essential to read and
follow each of these warnings and precautions.
1. Do NOT smoke near pump or use pump near an open flame.
Fire could result.
2. Disconnect power to pump before servicing pump.
3. Take motors needing service to an authorized repair shop or
return to factory to maintain “explosion proof” integrity.
4. A filter should be used on pump outlet to ensure that no foreign
material is transferred to fuel tank.
5. The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection.
If overheated, it will shut itself off without any damage to the
windings. Be sure to turn off the pump power if this occurs.
As the motor cools, it will start without warning if power is on.
6. Tank or barrel should be anchored to prevent tipping in both
the full and empty conditions.

The Fill-Rite Series FR600C products are positive displacement, rotary
vane pumps. Depending on installation and product viscosity, these
pumps can deliver up to 15 GPM or 57 LPM. Their rugged design makes
for a long life of dependability.
• Inlet: 2" male NPT on tank adapter, 1" female NPT on suction port
• Outlet: 3/4" female NPT
• Built-in bypass valve. CAUTION: Do not install foot valve or
check valve without pressure relief valve. Housing or
plumbing cracking may result.
• Furnished with UL listed 3/4" (2cm) diameter by 12' (3.7m) hose
and manual nozzle
• Security: Pump equipped for padlocking
• Overall Dimensions:
- without meter: 12 " (311mm) wide x 9" (23cm) high x 9"
(229mm) deep
- with meter: 14” (356mm wide x 14” (265mm) high x 9” (229mm)
deep
• Explosion proof, permanent magnet motor
-1/4 HP, 115 VAC, 2600 RPM, 1.5 amps
• 30 minute duty cycle, not for continuous operation
• Thermal overload protection
• Ball bearing construction; no lubrication required
• Integral inlet screen
FLUID COMPATIBILITY
The FR600C Series pumps are compatible with the following fluids:
• Diesel, Gasoline, Kerosene, and Mineral Spirits
Do NOT use with other fluids without consulting manufacturer.
1. Tightly screw suction pipe (5200F1839) into inlet flange (1200F6465)
of pumping unit.
2. Extend suction pipe (5200F1839) into truck tank or barrel to within
3" of tank bottom. Do not rest suction pipe on bottom of tank.
3. Screw inlet flange (1200F6465) of pump into 2” tank or barrel
opening. Inlet flange must be completely and securely threaded into
an undamaged tank or barrel bung.
4. Systems should be designed to require a minimum amount of suction
lift. Maximum "equivalent feet of lift" is 7' (2.1m) for gas and 8' (2.4m)
for diesel fuel. ("Equivalent feet of lift" is the vertical distance from
the surface of the fluid in the tank to the center of rotor cavity, PLUS
the friction losses through the vertical and horizontal runs of pipe,
all elbows and other fittings.)
5. Tank or barrel must be properly vented. Use a gasoline and oil proof
pipe compound on all joints. A water separator should be used for
pumping diesel fuel.
6. Do NOT use check valves or foot valves UNLESS they have
proper pressure relief valve built into them.
7. Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated 15 amp circuit
breaker. No other equipment should be powered from this
breaker. If two pumps are supplied from one breaker, that breaker
must be capable of handling the load of both motors.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Series 807C flow meters in US gallons or liters
• Automatic nozzle
• Filter Kits
NOTE: Using an automatic nozzle and/or filter will reduce flow rate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF PUMP FAILS TO PRIME: Check suction line for leaks or obstructions.
Check bypass valve for dirt. The poppet should slide freely.
PUMP IS BOUND: If the motor hums but will not start, the probable cause
is a stuck rotor. Remove rotor cover (item 12) 1200F6459, check rotor
and vanes for dirt.
LOW PUMPING CAPACITY: Strainer screen clogged, bypass valve not
seating properly, obstruction in suction lines. Make sure all 5 vanes slide
easily in their slots.
