Instructions / Assembly

3
The hose used with this pump must be of conductive jacket design or have a ground wire connecting
inlet and outlet ttings to avoid build up of static charge.
Systems should be set-up to require a minimum amount of suction lift. Maximum vertical distance from
the surface of the uid in the tank to the inlet of the pump is 9ft for gas and 10ft for diesel fuel.
A lter should be used on the pump outlet to ensure that no foreign material is transferred to the fuel
tank.
The 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.
ATTACHING THE PUMP TO THE TANK OR BARREL
1. Tightly screw the extension pipe into the inlet ange of the pumping unit. Attach the second pipe and
suction pipe to the extension pipe in the same manner.
2. Cut the suction pipe to a length that will place its end within 3” of the BOTTOM of the tank. DO NOT
rest the suction pipe on the bottom of the tank.
3. Screw the inlet ange of the pump into the tank or barrel opening inlet ange must be completely and
securely threaded into an undamaged tank or barrel bung.
4. Install the hose and nozzle to the pump before connecting the power wires together. Ground wires
must be connected.
5. The tank or barrel should be anchored down to prevent tipping when full or empty.
IF CONNECTED TO A VEHICLE
1. DO NOT attempt to power the pump from thin vehicle wiring such as the cigarette lighter wire.
2. The ground wire must ALWAYS be independently connected to the chassis of the vehicle being
fuelled and/or container being lled. DO NOT connect the green and black wires together, for example.
3. Unless the pump body and tank/chassis are at the same electrical potential, sparking due to static
charge or wiring faults could ignite fuel fumes, resulting in an explosion.
4. If the pump is to be powered from a vehicle power system, it is recommended that permanent wiring
and connections be made to vehicle power system which includes a 30 amp slow blow fuse.
CONNECTING THE PUMP
Read and understand all of the electrical wiring instructions before proceeding.
1. Remove the pump’s electrical junction box cover and straighten the 3 wires to make the stripped wire
ends accessible outside of the junction box.
2. Screw the furnished cable connector in to the conduit opening in the pump junction box.
3. Strip 6” of the outer insulating covering from one end of the furnished electrical cable being careful not
to damage the wire insulation.
4. Pass the stripped end of the furnished cable through the cable connector until 2” of the unstripped
wire is within the junction box.
5. Strip 1/2” of the insulation from the ends of the cable wires. Connect these wires to the matching colored
pump wires using wire nuts. Be sure no bare wires are exposed.
