BT46 12 VOLT FUEL PUMP KITS
Thank you for your purchase of your Equipco Diesel Transfer pump.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The pump is a safe priming rotating vane type equipped with integral by
-
pass valve
and is positive
-
displacement in function. The 12 volt DC motor is a sealed
non
-
ventilated type with 30 minute duty cycle.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The unit is designed for mounting direct to a tank or drum, as a
manual carry pump or installed as part of equipment.
1.
Carefully clean inlet and outlet ports and remove dust and residual packing
material.
2.
Standard Vertical Kit: Please ensure pump is mounted horizontally. Screw
suction pipe assembly on to pump, seal with thread tape or similar and tighten
securely. Fit hose to pump horizontal outlet and attach hose to nozzle con-
nection. Ensure all connections are leak proof and tight. Cut suction pipe to
correct depth and mount drum connector to
suction point. Carefully check that thread is not crossed and tighten screw
connections
3.
Take care with suction and delivery pipework to avoid stress transmitted by
pipes to the pump ports. Be sure suction strainer is fitted to protect pump or
accessories and remove all threading residual material and scale from
storage tank and pipes.
4.
In the case of mobile storage tanks, ensure baffle is fitted to protect suction
pipe from surge damage.
5.
Before connecting delivery piping or hose, partially fill pump casing with diesel
to facilitate first priming.
6.
Refer to back page for power cable alterations.
7.
Risks due to extreme temperature. Remember that a very low temperature
(
-
10°C) can freeze the Diesel oil inside the pump. This situation can cause
serious damage to the motor pump unit. A very high temperature
(above 45°C) may cause the plastic parts in the unit to expand. The unit
should be placed in a well ventilated place and protected
from the sun. Also
the pump unit should be protected from rain and the possibility of water
damage.
NOTE
: A suction strainer must be fitted to protect pump from possible damage.
Failure to do this will void warranty claims.
