1.
For all mountings, be sure the pump is secured
with four screws through the mounting stand feet.
See
for size and location of
mounting stand holes.
2.
Make sure the surface is flat and that the pump
doesn’t wobble.
3.
For ease of operation and service, mount the
pump so pump inlet and pump outlet ports are
easily accessible.
Grounding
Grounding
Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric
or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Improper grounding can cause electric
shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the
electric current.

Always ground the entire pump system as
described below.
• Follow your local fire codes.
Before operating the pump, ground the system as
explained below.

the ground screw and tighten the screw securely.
Connect the clamp end of the grounding wire to a
true earth ground.
Check your system electrical continuity after the
initial installation, and then set up a regular schedule
for checking continuity to be sure proper grounding
is maintained. The resistance should not exceed 1

This pump is not intended to pump liquid. Liquid
inside the pump, if heated, can create a rapid rise
in pressure due to thermal expansion, which can
result in equipment rupture and serious injury.
• Connect an LP-Gas rated hose from the extractor
to the pump inlet port. The port is 1 in. JIC-male.
• MVP recommends installation of an auxiliary
device before the pump inlet, if necessary, to
prevent entrance of liquid into the pump.
