If tank is used for refueling:
1. Place fuel tank in a place where it can be leveled as
much as possible.
2. Unlock and open hatch lid.
3. Pull out refueling hose and nozzle, see Figure 2 below.
4. Extend it to the tank to be refueled.
5. Connect female end of quick coupler into male end of
quick coupler on the pump discharge.
6. Open fuel feed line/valve on fuel tank.
7. Connect a power supply to the pump (minimum 20
amp rating).
8. Turn the pump on by lifting lever located on the side of
the pump.
9. Use the hand-held nozzle to transfer the fuel.

3. Extend as much hose as required.
4. Connect swivel-type coupling (See Figure 6 below)
into generator supply connection.
5. Screw in female quick-coupler with threaded end hose
(See Figure 4) into swivel coupler. .
6. Make sure to bleed air from system.

Note:
These recommendations are written for a
generator with a 1-inch NPT female thread to attach
into. Alternate connections will require adapters to
be supplied by the customer.
Tip:
When performing installation of hoses it is
considered good practice to start at the Fuel Tank
