To ensure safe operation, all transfer systems must be
properly grounded. Proper grounding means a continuous
metal-to-metal contact from one component to the next,
including tank, bung, pump, meter, filter, hose and nozzle.
Care should be taken to ensure proper grounding during initial
installation and after any service or repair procedures. For
your safety, please take a moment to review the warnings below.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when operating
the system. Serious or fatal shock can result from operating
electrical equipment in damp or wet locations.
Inspect external pump wiring regularly to make sure it is
correctly attached to power supply. To avoid electrical shock,
use extra care when connecting the pump to power.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with DEF. Use protective goggles,
gloves and aprons in case of splashing or spills. Change satu-
rated clothing and wash skin promptly with soap and water.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when servicing
the pump.
Always
disconnect power before repairing or ser-
vicing.
Never
apply electrical power to the system when any
of the coverplates are removed.
