240V Diesel Transfer Pump
OWNER’S TECHNICAL MANUAL
339000
Electric Connection
The diesel pump single phase engine is protected from surges through a thermo probe.
Installation, Starting and Self-Priming Effect
During installation and maintenance, be sure the electrical supply is not under tension. After cleaning suction
and delivery points, removing slags, remaining threads or dust, connect tubes with the diesel pump making
the installation for the first start of the machine. Do not use joints with conical thread, which can damage the thread
point of the diesel pump.
Before starting, help the self-priming process by checking that the suction tube and pump are filled with diesel.
Start the engine. After 30 seconds, if the priming didn’t start, stop the pump and check if the suction tube has some
air infiltrations. The tightening of connection points and hose clamps must be always checked. The suction tube must
be rigid or spiral because, if a non-rigid one is used, it can crush itself because of depression created whilst the pump
is working. If the suction is done at a depth greater than 3 meters it will be necessary to use a foot valve and/or
a check valve.
During use, the pump must be close to the diesel tank oil. Best results are given by reducing pressure loss (during
the suction), elbow and contraction of the tubes, using a non-minimum diameter tube and maintaining a clean suction
filter. Never work the pump dry, without diesel inside the body of the pump. The diesel pump can be installed both
in vertical and horizontal positions, taking care to fix it on the support plane with bolts suitable for the fixing holes
present on the base of the electric engine.
WARNING:
Check the suction tube and be sure it is free of obstructions, not crushed or bent and completely
dipped into the diesel.
Handling
1. To transport or stock a diesel pump, does not require particular cautions as its weight and dimensions are reduced.
2. The pump is pre-assembled, ready to be used and packed in a way that parts will not suffer damages during transport.
3. If after usage it is necessary to stock or transport the pump, empty the body of the pump and suction tubes.
4. During use, use safety gloves, shoes and work following all the safety rules.
Maintenance
Working parts during the working of the pump, are pre-lubricated. Never use oils over the working parts as they
can be damaged. Spare parts and accessories must be original and authorised by Alemlube in order to guarantee
maximum safety of the diesel pump.
If the pump is modified without permission, Alemlube is then not liable anymore for damages caused by the pump.
These pumps are designed to require the lowest maintenance, but a regular check for weak tube connections in order
to avoid diesel losses and a monthly filter and pump body check are required to preserve quality and efficiency.
In addition, check the feeders on a monthly basis.
If not used for a long time or stocked, please protect pump from humidity, rain and any other atmospheric event,
especially the electric engine.
