nozzle holder only when the pump is off.
The nozzle holder allows the pump to be locked when the
nozzle is in place.
OPERATION
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.
Dispense Fuel
Turn the pump on by removing the nozzle from its holder and
pushing down on the switch lever. Insert the nozzle into the
receiving tank and squeeze the handle to start fuel ow. When
done, release the nozzle handle.
After dispensing fuel, pull the front end of the switch lever up
to turn the pump off and return the nozzle to the holder. The
nozzle may be locked in place to prevent unauthorized use by
installing a padlock (not provided) through the hole in the top
of the nozzle cover.
Nozzle valve must be stored properly in nozzle
holder (as shown) when not in use.
The pump is designed to be self-priming. If fuel is not delivered
within 15 to 20 seconds, turn the pump off and refer to the prim-
ing information in the Troubleshooting Section.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure buildup when
the pump is on with the nozzle closed. To avoid pump dam-
age, do not run the pump for more than 10 minutes with the
nozzle closed.
Motor Protector
This pump is equipped with a motor protective device that also
serves as the ON / OFF switch.
NOTE: The motor protective device is not intended to provide
branch circuit protection.
• If motor is overloaded, the protective device trips and
opens the circuit. This feature protects the motor from
damage and must be reset manually.
• To reset, turn the switch lever off and then back on.
• If the protective device trips again quickly, turn the power
off at the source before attempting to troubleshoot the
problem. Follow instructions as described in the Trouble-
shooting Section of this manual.
• Make sure the switch lever is off before restoring power.
• Turn the switch lever on and restart.
