INSTALLATION
3
Figure 1
For proper installation, your pump requires a hose, nozzle and
suction pipe. Kits are available from the factory and are listed
as accessories on the Illustrated Parts List.
Used pumps must be flushed and cleaned before installation
as outlined in the Maintenance Section.
To prevent leaks, seal all connecting threads with 3 to 4 turns
of thread tape during installation.
Before installing the pump, install the suction pipe into bung
adapter on the pump. Tighten the suction pipe into the bottom
of the bung adapter until only three threads are visible.
Installing Pump
The pump has a 2-inch NPS bung adapter with gaskets installed
at the inlet end.
After installing the suction pipe into the bung adapter, insert
the suction pipe into the tank opening and tighten the pump
securely. Make sure the bung adapter threads are not cross-
threaded. (Figure 1)

OPERATIONS
WARNING
WARNING
Figure 2
Using fluids other than those for which the pump was designed
could lead to serious personal injury and void the warranty.
The pump is approved for Diesel Exhaust Fluid only. Do
not use with gasoline, diesel, other flammable fluids, or
micro-encapsulated fluids.
When handling fluids, always wear protective clothing
such as goggles, gloves and respirators, as instructed
by the fluid manufacturer.
Clean any spills from the system exterior as they occur, follow-
ing fluid manufacturer’s instructions.
Before Each Use
1. Keep pump exterior clean to help identify leaks. Before
each use, inspect for leaks around seals or connections.
2. Check for leaks under the pump housing. A small drain
hole relieves any fluid which bypasses the motor shaft seal.
(Figure 2) If
any
leakage is found here, replace the motor
shaft seal using instructions in the Repair Section.
Install Hose and Nozzle
If installing accessories such as meters or filters, do so before
installing the hose and nozzle. Follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
Make sure any hose and nozzle used are compatible
with DEF.
After sealing threads, hand-tighten the hose into the outlet until
snug. Hand-tighten the nozzle to the hose.
3. Make sure hoses are in good condition and connections
are tight.
4. Make sure the work area is dry.
