Installing Discharge Plumbing on
Pump Outlet
1. Install a 90 degree elbow to the pump outlet using oil
resistant pipe sealant.
2. Install the hose and ball valve using oil resistant pipe
sealant on the threads. Tighten securely.
Electrical Installation
Electrical wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
Shut off all power before connecting wires to motor. Failure
to follow these wiring instructions may result in death or
serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.
115-volt AC Powered Pumps (Models L 5116 & L 5132):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 115-volt AC. Power to
the unit should be supplied from a dedicated circuit breaker.
If AC extension cords are used, they must be capable of safely
carrying the rated motor current. Use only heavy duty, 3-wire,
grounded extension cords.
NOTE: Many building codes require Ground Fault Circuit
interrupt (GFCI) protection.
Motor Ratings (FLA):
115-volt AC:
1/2 HP, 1725 RPM – 7.5 amps
1 HP, 3450 RPM – 13 amps
12-volt DC:
1/2 HP, 1800 RPM – 40 amps
12-volt DC Powered Pumps (Model L 5016):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 12-volt DC. Circuit
must be protected with a 50 amp automotive-type fuse (not
supplied).
The power cord is not supplied with the pump. GPI recom-
mends a minimum power cord of 10/3 AWG. Do not exceed
15 feet of cord.
CAUTION
OPERATION
Do not operate pump dry. Damage to pump could occur.
Before first usage, pour oil into pump outlet port to coat
pumping element.
1. Place ball valve into the receiving tank to be filled.
2. Turn on the motor.
3. Open the ball valve and fill the container to the desired
level. If flow does not occur with 15 seconds, shut off motor
and refer to the priming information in the Troubleshooting
Section.
4. Shut off the nozzle.
5. Turn off the motor.
Motor Protector
The AC pumps contain thermal motor protection. If the pump
overheats the unit will shutoff.
If the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:
Model L 5132:
Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to cool
before restarting.
Model L 5116:
Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to cool.
Push the button to manually reset the protector.
Model L 5016:
The 12-volt model is protected by inline fuse
(not supplied). If the motor shuts off, check the fuse.
Disconnect power and relieve pressure in the system by open-
ing the nozzle before servicing the pump.
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor bear-
ings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect the pump
and components regularly for leaks and make sure the hose,
ball valve and components are in good condition.
Use of the pump with unauthorized fluids will void the war-
ranty.
Remove and clean the strainer if low flow is noticed. To clean
the strainer, remove the three screws on the strainer cover.
Remove cover and pull out screen. Clean screen and reinstall.
Care should be taken not to damage the O-ring.
