3. PREPARATION & ASSEMbLY
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Check to ensure you are connecting your pump to the correct voltage power supply for model.
4.1 Before each use, clean the inlet and outlet ports. remove any dust or packing material that may have collected during transport or between
uses.
4.2 PrIMInG tHE PuMP. Lower the suction tube (with filter attached) into the fuel storage tank. Ensure the pump is no more than 2mtr
higher than the end of the suction tube during the priming phase. During normal running, this distance may be increased to a maximum of
3mtr.
4.3 Before first use partially fill the pump body with diesel fuel to aid the priming process then connect the delivery tube.
4.4 If using an automatic delivery nozzle, it is recommended that you remove this while the pump is priming.
4.5 the priming phase may last from several seconds to a few minutes, dependant on conditions. should this phase appear to be prolonged,
stop the pump and check the points listed in section 6.2.
Note: The foot valve incorporated in the suction filter ensures that the suction tube does not empty back into the tank and therefore
eliminates the need to repeat the priming of the pump each time it is used. However, should the suction tube be allowed to empty, it
will again be necessary to prime the pump before use. Failure to do so could cause damage to the pump.
4.6 norMAL usE. Place the delivery nozzle in the fuel tank of the vehicle.
4.7 Attach the red battery clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s battery, and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal.
4.8 Before turning the pump on, be sure that the delivery nozzle is in the ‘off’ position.
4.9 Move the switch lever to the ‘on’ position. the pump is capable of operating with the delivery nozzle closed for only 2-3 minutes maximum.
4.10 Grip the nozzle firmly and squeeze the trigger to begin transferring fuel.
4.11 release the trigger to stop the fuel flow when the transfer is complete. (on an automatic delivery nozzle, simply turn the pump switch to off)
4.12 turn the pump switch ‘off’.
NOTE! The fuel pump is fitted with an internal reset trip which may switch off automatically if there is a power surge or a fault in the
electrical connection. If this happens, release the trigger handle, keeping the nozzle in place, and investigate the cause of the
interruption. If the fault has cleared the internal trip will reset itself after a few seconds.
 WARNING conical fittings should not be used to connect to the inlet/outlet ports as they will damage the seats on the pump casing.
3.1 Before using the pump, unpack all materials and inspect the pump unit for damage.
3.2 connect the unit to appropriate voltage battery and ensure the motor will run up freely, this can be done before connecting hoses.
3.3 Attach the two flanges supplied to the inlet and outlet ports of the pump using the socket cap bolts provided. the flanges have different
recesses for different types of fixings in either face. Insert the socket cap bolts into the circular counterbored recesses you will find in one
face of each flange. Ensure that the ‘o’ rings provided are trapped in the groove in the flange face which seals onto each port.
3.4 A mounting bracket is supplied which can be attached to either side of the inlet/outlet casting. the pump can be mounted in either a
horizontal or a vertical axis. Ensure that the pump is mounted so that the on/off lever is visible and readily accessible.
3.5 the delivery/outlet hose and suction/inlet hose are supplied with a male threaded fitting at either end.
3.6 Attach the filter to one end off the suction hose Identify the inlet port by means of the flow arrows shown on the cast body of the unit
adjacent to each port and then attach the hose to the inlet port.
3.7 Attach the delivery nozzle to one end of the outlet hose. Before the delivery hose can be attached to the outlet port the pump body must
be partially filled with diesel fuel to aid the priming process. (see next section.)
Performance Data given is for the transfer of diesel fuel at 20°C. The conditions indicated are as follows:
5.1 by-Pass - the pump operates in this mode when the delivery is closed and the internal by-pass valve automatically opens.
the pressure indicated is constant regardless of the type of delivery systems. Note that the unit can only operate in this condition
for a maximum of 2 to 3 minutes.
5.2 Maximum back Pressure - these values are given for the maximum back pressure allowed with the by-pass valve closed.
Higher back pressures will cause the by-pass valve to open and reduce delivery volume. the back pressure should not exceed the value
given during normal operation.
5.3 Maximum Delivery - these values indicate the lowest back pressure and greatest delivery volume possible at once.
