nextec™ — Predicts. Protects. Performs.
As a tank is being filled, air is displaced and exits via the
fuel tank vent creating fumes, which when accumulated
create an Explosive Atmosphere. To avoid possible explosion
of accumulated vapors, it is critical to keep possible
sources of spark / ignition at safe distances from the fuel
vapors.
The accompanying diagram shows minimum safe distances
for safe fueling. 10’ is the minimum safe distance between:
• Power source and fuel supply
• Power source and tank being filled
• Power source and pump
Fueling Safety
Installation
Your Fill-Rite nextec DC pump is designed to be mobile for your convenience and safety. It can be installed / used in several configurations.
Read each configuration prior to beginning installation.
CAUTION!
This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption or fluids containing water. Materials
of construction are not food grade. Water will cause rust and corrosion in the pump housing. If water enters the pump, flush
immediately with a petroleum product (gasoline, diesel, light oil, etc) to eradicate residual water.
IMPORTANT!
A Fill-Rite filter should be used on the pump outlet to ensure no foreign material is transferred to the fuel tank.
Foreign material can damage the equipment being fueled.
WARNING!
The nextec Series DC smart pump is designed for use on skid tanks, and large bulk tanks to supply fuel. It is
paramount to anchor the supply tank to which the pump is mounted to ensure no movement occurs in transit or while fueling.
Failure to secure the tank or drum can cause unexpected and uncontrolled movement, resulting in damage, injury, death, and
potential fire or explosion.
DANGER!
Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere. It is
CRITICAL
that all possible sources of
ignition be removed to a safe distance or extinguished. Sources of ignition would include (but not be limited to) open flames,
cigarettes, static discharge, or electrical connections that can create a spark. Explosion, fire, and severe injury or death will
occur if the explosive vapors are ignited.

Inspect power cable before each use! Damage to the outer jacket
of the cable that exposes wiring requires replacement of the power
cable.
1. The green (ground) wire should be connected first. Connect
the green wire to the vehicle chassis or earth ground. DO NOT
connect the green wire to the negative power source post.
2. Next, connect the black (negative) wire to the negative post of
the DC power source.
3. Connect the red (positive) wire to the positive post last.
Install power cable by aligning flat on plug with back of pump.
Insert the plug into the motor housing as shown. Lock into place
using the threaded collar (A).
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY!
Disconnect in reverse order.

Tank Installation
The nextec 3200 series pump mounts to the bung of a tank by way of
the tank adapter that is bolted to the inlet flange. The suction tube
threads into the bottom of the tank adapter, and must be cut to a
length that positions it at least 3” from the bottom of the tank. The
tank must be equipped with a vent cap.
3" Min.
Typical Tank Installation
DANGER!
Be certain the switch is “OFF” prior to connecting the power cables to the power source or installing the cable
into the pump to prevent unexpected starting of the motor. Unexpected motor start can cause unintended discharge of fuel,
creating an explosion and fire hazard. Note that the switch does not interupt power to the motor; it triggers a relay that tells
the motor to turn on.
WARNING! BE CERTAIN
the power cables are connected to the correct terminals at your power source.
REVERSING POLARITY
WILL DAMAGE THE PUMP
and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use check valves or foot valves; valves reduce rate of flow and performance of the pump.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the fuse on the red
(positive) wire. Removing the fuse
MAY DAMAGE
THE PUMP
and will void the warranty.
