Action 3003 Instructions for use

General Safety Information
It is the
responsibility of
the user to operate the pump in
conformance with OSHA rules for
dispensing liquids. Pump containers
should be grounded when using with
flammable liquids to avoid static
electricity. Pump should be washed out
before usage since processing
lubricants could contaminate the fluids.
1. When using a hand pump (especially
when pumping flammable,
combustible or hazardous liquids)
follow all electrical and safety codes,
as well as the United States
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA), most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire
Protection, Inc. * (NFPA) Code 30
(Flammable and Combustible Code),
NFPA 56A (Standard for use of
Inhalation Anesthetics), NFPA 77
(Static Electricity), NFPA 78
(Lightning Protection Code), NFPA
80 (Standard for Fire Doors and
Windows), NFPA 251 (Standard
Method of fire Test of Building
Construction), NFPA 704
(Identification of the Fire Hazards of
Materials), other NFPA codes, local
codes and ordinances, as needed in
a particular application
2. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
The "WARNING" statements
indicate potential hazardous
conditions for the operator or
equipment. TAKE NECESSARY STEPS
TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND
EQUIPMENT.
NOTE: Pump should only be used with
liquids compatible with pump
component materials. Consult PUMP
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART and
PUMP SPECIFICATIONS. Also, the
chemical supplier should be consulted
regarding any questions of chemical
compatibility, proper and safe use and
handling of chemical. Misapplication of
pump or use of noncompatible liquids
will void warranty.
In order to
properly use this
product, familiarize yourself with this
pump and also with the liquid
(chemical, etc.) that is going to be
pumped through the unit. Although
this pump is suited for many liquids, it
is NOT suitable for all liquids!

3. Pumping hazardous, flammable, or
combustible liquids should only be
done in buildings, rooms, or areas
suited for this purpose. (See NFPA 30,
NFPA 78, NFPA 80, NFPA 251, NFPA

General Safety Information
(Continued)
When filling cans,
drums, etc. with
combustible or flammable liquids, both
container pumping from and container
pumping to, should be bonded and
grounded to dissipate possible
accumulations of static electricity, and
minimize sparks caused by static
electricity (refer to NFPA 77 for specific
details).
Removal of outer garments in work areas
where there may be flammable or
explosive liquids, which are ignitable with
low electrical energy, can be fatal and/or
cause property damage (refer to NFPA
56A, and NFPA 77, for further details).
4 The "WARNING" and instructions for
gasoline below pertain not only to
gasoline, but to any flammable,
combustible or hazardous fluid.
Gasoline is a highly
flammable fuel.
The improper use, handling or storage
of gasoline can be dangerous. Prevent
accidents by following these safety
rules:
a. Use gasoline only as a fuel, never
as a cleaning fluid.
b. Use only an approved container
to hold or store gasoline. Never
store gasoline in familiar
containers such as milk containers
or soda pop bottles.
c. Store gasoline in a cool location,
out of the reach of children. Never
store gasoline near heat or an
open flame.
d. Provide a fire extinguisher nearby
when working with gasoline. Be
sure extinguisher is in operating
condition - check the pressure
gauge or indicator. Be familiar
with its proper use. Consult local
fire department for the correct
type of extinguisher for your
application. Extinguishers rated
ABC by the National Fire
Protection Association are
appropriate for most applications.
e. Provide positive shut-off valves on
all permanent fuel supplies. Fuel
lines must be of steel piping,
adequately secured, and free from
leaks.
f. Provide adequate ventilation, and
clean up any spills when handling
or pumping flammable liquids.
g. POSITIVELY NO SMOKING!
5. Do not use torches or apply fire or
flame to this pump for any reason.
6. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will slip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
7. Do not over tighten nonmetallic
threaded fittings. One full turn past
hand tight is usually enough to
prevent leakage. Teflon sealant tape
should be used on all threaded
joints, including the spout.
8. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
9. Periodically inspect pump and system
components. Perform routine
maintenance as required.
10. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
Any pump used to
transfer flammable
liquids must be stored in a well
ventilated area after use.
11.Personal Safety
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pump.
b. Wear a face shield, proper
apparel and suitable respiratory
equipment, when pumping
hazardous chemicals.
c. Keep work area clean,
uncluttered, and properly lighted,
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
d. Keep visitors at a safe distance
from the work area.
e. Make workshop childproof, with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
Failure to follow
all general safety
information can result in a fatality,
personal injury and/or property
damage!
Assembly & Installation
1. Screw bung adapter (Ref. No. 14) into
drum with threaded end down.
2. Screw spout (Ref. No.1) into casing
(Ref. No. 3). Use Teflon sealant tape

tube (Ref. No. 21). Use Teflon sealant
tape provided.
4. Screw suction tube assembly into
casing (Ref. No. 3). Use Teflon sealant
tape provided. Do not overtighten.
5. Insert handle shaft (Ref. No. 17)
through handle (Ref. No. 12). Thread
hex nut (Ref. No. 18) onto handle
shaft until handle rotates freely.

arm (Ref. No. 11). Prevent handle
shaft from turning, then tighten hex
nut against crank arm. Insert crank
arm assembly onto motor shaft and
tighten in the rotor shaft.

Operation
1. Rotate handle clockwise several
times. If unit does not pick up prime
in a few turns, pour some fluid into
pump discharge to aid priming
2. For siphoning, set handle straight
down.
3. To stop siphoning, rotate handle 1/4
turn.
4. After using pump, set handle
straight down. Liquid will drain back
to container.
5. If pump is removed from drum,
rinse thoroughly in liquid that is
compatible with both the pump and
fluid. For questions about chemical
compatibility contact your chemical
supplier.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Periodically inspect the
pump assembly and suction tubes for
weak or worn condition. Make certain
that all connections and fasteners are
tight and secure. Perform routine
maintenance as required.
