P-120DEF:

This pump is designed for use with a 12-volt DC battery.

1. Inspect wiring for corrosion or damage. Replace, as neces-

sary.

2. Connect the pump to a 12-volt DC battery with the red

wire attached to positive (+) and the black to negative (–).

PA-120DEF & P-120DEF:

For best results, immediately before use, purge the system of air.
Follow these steps to purge the system of air.
1. Connect the pump to the appropriate power supply

(PA-120DEF to grounded GFCI protected, 115-volt power)

(P-120DEF to a 12-volt DC battery).

2. Place the nozzle in the fill hole of the tank. Turn the pump on.
3. Open the nozzle and pump at full flow until the system is

full of DEF.

4. Close the nozzle and turn the pump off.
NOTE: The PA-120DEF and P-120DEF pumps include an

automatic bypass that will open automatically if internal

pump pressure builds up.

Dispense Fluid

The PA-120DEF and P-120DEF pumps are intended for use

with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) only.
1.  Turn power ON.
2.  Insert the nozzle into the receiving tank.
3.  Open the nozzle. Always dispense at full flow.

Do not exceed the standard duty cycle of 30 minutes

ON and 30 minutes OFF. Allow the pump to cool for 30

minutes.

4. Dispense the desired amount.
5. Close the nozzle and turn the pump off.

Thermal Protector

PA-120DEF:

This pump’s motor contains an automatic thermal protector.

Excessive motor heat can trip the protector. It resets automati-

cally after the motor has cooled approximately 30 minutes.

Circuit Breaker

PA-120DEF:

The magnetic circuit breaker trips automatically when the

motor draws more than 3 amps. This feature provides added

protection against motor damage and must be reset manually.
When the circuit breaker trips, turn the power off and disconnect

from power before attempting any repairs. Inspect the pump

thoroughly and clean or repair it as necessary.

Make sure the pump switch is in the OFF position before

restoring power.

Reset the circuit breaker after repairs are complete. To reset,

press in on the circuit breaker reset button at the end of the

cover assembly.

Proper cleaning and maintenance is vital to prolong pump life

and promote trouble-free operation.
NOTE: Failure to follow recommended cleaning and storage

procedures increases the chance of pump failure and may

void the warranty.

Remove Pump from Tank

Some fluid may spill from the pump during removal.

Follow DEF label directions for cleanup and disposal.

1.  Disconnect pump from power.
2.  Loosen the pump from the tank.
3.  Lift the pump from the tank.
4.  Place the nozzle in the tank.
5.  Reconnect  the  pump  to  the  appropriate  power  supply

(PA-120DEF to grounded GFCI protected, 115-volt power)

(P-120DEF to a 12-volt DC battery). Open the nozzle to

remove fluids from the system and turn on. Turn pump off

and disconnect from power.

6. Remove the suction pipe, as necessary.
7. Clean fluid from bung adapter or tank nipple and tank.

Cover the bung adapter or tank nipple.

8. If the pump will not be used for more than 2 weeks, flush

to prevent drying of fluids in the pump.

Flush Pump

When the pump will not be used for more than 2 weeks, it must

be flushed to prevent internal drying of fluid.
It is strongly recommended, for protection from personal injury,

that a simple flush tank be created. Use a container with a tight
