and the nozzle on the hose. The nozzle can be placed in
the nozzle holder only when the pump is off.
ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN
OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT. REVIEW THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATION
Before each use, repair leaks around seals or connections.
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 contam-
inated with debris.
To Dispense Fuel
This pump is designed to self-prime with dry gears. Expect
suction lift as follows:
Manual Nozzle: 5.5 ft. (1.7 m) with diesel
6.7 ft. (2.1 m) with gasoline
Automatic Nozzle: 4.8 ft. (1.5 m) with diesel
5.8 ft. (1.8 m) with gasoline
If you require a greater initial prime height, coat the gears
with fluid by removing the plug on the top of the pump
and pour a small quantity of motor oil into the gear cavity.
Replace the plug and try again. A foot valve with pressure
relief may be needed to maintain prime.
Turn on the pump by removing the nozzle from the holder
and pushing up the switch lever. Insert the nozzle into the
receiving tank and squeeze the handle to start fuel flow.
When done, release the nozzle handle, turn the pump
off, and return the nozzle to its holder.
This pump is designed to be self-priming. If fuel is not
delivered within 15 to 20 seconds, turn the pump off and
refer to priming information in the Troubleshooting Section.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure build up when the
pump is on with the nozzle closed. To avoid pump damage, do
not run the pump more than 10 minutes with the nozzle closed.
Motor Protector
The pump contains a motor protector that provides added
protection against motor damage. It must be reset manually.
If the motor protector trips, reset by turning the switch OFF. Let
the pump cool then turn ON again. If the motor protector trips
again, see the Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
MAINTENANCE
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor
bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect
the pump and components regularly for fuel leaks and
make sure the hose and power cord are in good condi-
tion. Keep the pump exterior clean to help identify leaks.
Do not use this pump for water, chemicals or herbicides.
Dispensing any fluid other than those listed in this manual
will damage the pump. Use of the pump with unauthorized
fluids will void the warranty.
To Clean or Replace Strainer
Turn the pump off and disconnect from power. Remove
the strainer coverplate. Remove the inlet strainer and
inspect for damage or clogs. Clean the strainer with a
soft-bristled brush and solvent. If the strainer is very
dirty, compressed air may be used. If damaged, replace
the strainer.
Place the strainer in the cavity. Clean the coverplate
and O-ring. Coat the O-ring lightly with grease. Ensure
the coverplate O-ring is properly seated and tighten the
strainer coverplate.
