PREPARING THE TRANSFER UNIT FOR OPERATION:
For transport purposes some transfer units will be supplied with the Delivery hose and Automatic
Shut-off gun disconnected from the pump. Before attempting to pump any Diesel ensure that the
delivery hose is securely fitted to the pump’s outlet, and that the Automatic Shut-off gun (with
swivel) is fitted to the other end of the delivery hose.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY:
All the diesel transfer units are fitted with DC electric motors that are supplied with alligator clips
that can be connected directly to a 12-volt DC battery. Connect the Red alligator clip to the positive
terminal and the black alligator clip to the negative terminal. If the pump runs backwards, simply
swap the clips on the battery. If you intend to extend the cable or add a plug, make sure it is of
sufficient capacity 25Amps
FILLING THE DIESEL UNIT:
Ensure that the tank is supported on an even base capable of taking the weight. No Special
equipment is required for filling the tank, however when the lid has been removed from the tank
take care not to introduce contaminants into the tank via the filler neck and ensure that the lid is
kept free of contaminating particles while filling.
TRANSFERING DIESEL:
The pump will need to prime itself upon first use. Turn the pump on and depress the trigger to allow
air to bleed from the hoses, after a short time the pump will have primed and delivery will
commence. We recommend for this first priming that the lid is removed from the tank and the
nozzle is directed back into the tank while pumping to avoid spillage or loss of Diesel, with this done
the unit is now ready to operate.
To dispense the pump must be turned on and the nozzles trigger depressed, the nozzle features an
automatic shut-off which operates when fluid contacts the outer nozzle. Once the auto shut off
operates turn off the pump within 2 or 3 minutes so as not to allow the motor to run for longer than
its specified duty cycle.
The pumps have been designed and built to require minimal maintenance however it is still
important that you
Always remove the pump from the power source before any inspection.
The Vanes in the head of the pump will wear over time and require replacement. To extend the life
of the Vanes, ensure that the filters are kept clean and the tank free of contaminants. If a reduced
flow rate is noticeable, or a screeching sound is heard from the pump, dirt or debris may have
entered the pumps and requires immediate cleaning before parts are permanently damaged.
Periodically check the suction foot filter to ensure that is clean and free of debris. This should be
done if there is a noticeable decrease in diesel flow rate. There is also a coarse screen mesh at the
inlet of the red “Selecta” Auto shut-off gun and can be checked by removing the gun from the swivel.
