The purpose of this manual is to assist you in installing,
operating and maintaining your GPI pump. This manual
covers 115-/230-volt AC model M-3130-AV (with or
without flowmeters).
Model M-3130-AV must be connected to a 115-/230-volt
AC power source only.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure build
up when the pump is on with the nozzle closed. To
avoid damage, do not run the pump more than 10
minutes with the nozzle closed.
The duty cycle of this pump is 30 minutes ON and 30
minutes OFF. Allow the pump to cool for 30 minutes.
This pump is designed for use
only
with aviation gasoline
(AVGAS 100LL) and kerosene grade (JET A).
Do not
use this pump for dispensing any fluids other than those
for which it was designed. To do so may damage pump
components and will void the warranty.
Do not leave the system running without fluids. “Dry
running” can damage the pump.
Do not pump the tank completely dry, as contaminants
from the bottom of the tank may enter the pump.
The following safety alert symbols are
used in this manual.
DANGER
indicates a
hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING
indicates a
hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
indicates a
hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
used without
the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result
in property damage.
There are inherent dangers wherever flammable fuel and
AC electrical sources are in close proximity.
Static electricity as a source of sparking is always a
concern and requires extreme care in the installation and
operation of your entire fuel transfer system.
Additional components such as meters, automatic nozzles
and filters must be listed for use with fuel transfer systems.
The flow of fuel through a hose and nozzle can generate
static electrical charges and dangerous sparking can
result in fire or explosion. Hoses and nozzles must be
electrically conductive and bonded to ground.
It is your responsibility to:
•
Know and follow applicable national, state and local
safety codes pertaining to installing and operating
electrical equipment for use with flammable liquids.
•
Know and follow all safety precautions when handling
petroleum fuels.
•
Ensure that all equipment operators have access to
adequate instructions concerning safe operating and
maintenance procedures.
GENERAL INFORMATION
For ground-based refueling only. Do not use in or
on the aircraft.

Standard for
Aircraft Fuel Servicing
for safety requirements
during ground fuel servicing of aircraft using
liquid petroleum fuels. This product has no actual
or implied compliance with this standard.
WARNING
Mechanical Connections
INSTALLATION
Coverplates protect the operator from moving
parts. Never operate the pump without coverplates
in place. Never apply electric power to the pump
without coverplates in place. Always disconnect
power before repairing or servicing.
WARNING
All threaded fuel connections must be sealed with thread
tape or a pipe thread sealing compound approved for
use with petroleum fuels.
Your pump must be mounted on a vented tank. If the
tank is not vented, contact your GPI distributor for the
correct vent cap.
This pump has a built-in check valve to keep the pump
primed. No additional check valve is required on suction
pipes shorter than 15 ft. (4.6 m). Make sure any check
valves or foot valves used are equipped with proper
pressure relief valves.
