Description
Self-priming pumps for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) ap-
plications
• Built-in handle for portability and ease of handling.
• Suction lift capability to 15 ft.
WARNING
For proper and trouble-free operation of this DEF
pump, it is important to carefully read and follow these
operating instructions and to fully observe all warn-
ings. For safety reasons, people who are not familiar
with these operating instructions should not use the
pump, especially children under the age of 16. Before
installing or servicing any pump, be certain pump
power is disconnected to avoid any possible electric
shock.
Conformity with federal, State and local electric codes
are mandatory. The National Electric Code requires
that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be used
in the branch circuit supplying sump, utility, effluent
and all DEF pumps. Consult a licensed electrician or
your power company if in doubt.

Installation
Before putting the pump into operation it is absolutely
necessary to carry out the following operations:
1. The diameter of the suction and lines should correspond to
the diameter of the connections of the pump housing (1”).
See figure 2. For a suction height of over 12 ft., a suction
hose with a greater diameter should be used.
2. Fit the suction lines with the foot valve to the pump (at
point 1, Fig 2), avoiding siphons, counter slopes and stand
the pump on solid, flat level ground.
3. Fit the delivery line (at point 2, Fig 2).
4. Put into operation the pump and wait for the suction of the
DEF. If nothing occurs after 2-3 minutes, switch off the
pump, unplug and repeat the whole operation. It will be

General Safety
• Read all instructions carefully and thoroughly be-
fore operating, maintaining or servicing the unit.
• Be sure that electrical power supply conforms
to the power requirement of the unit. Refer to
“Specifications”.
• Do not exceed pressure rating of system compo-
nents.
• Do not make system components adjustments that
are not recommended in this service sheet. When
in doubt, consult Alemite service representatives
or personal familiar with instrumentation.
• Electrical service must be performed by an elec-
trician or personnel familiar with instrumentation.
• Shut off electrical power to the unit before doing
service on the unit.
necessary to recheck pump’s installation. When checking
operations, always remember to take out the drain plug
(point 4, Fig 2). Possible causes for loss of prime may be a
leak in packaged product valve or down tube suction line
letting air in, faulty foot or check valve, suction line not
completely submerged or damaged, too high suction lift
clogged suction filter or closed outlet.
5. For all electrical connections, a separate line with a fuse
switch should be run from the meter or breaker box and
properly grounded.
6. Open all shut-off devices in the pressure system of the
pump (e.g.) DEF nozzle, so that air can escape during the
priming operation
7. The temperature of the DEF must never exceed 35° C or
100° F.
8. Always unplug the pump before working on it, in case of
maintenance.
9. Do not place or submerge the pumps into water.
10. Always use a suction line with an installed check valve or
foot valve; this will allow ease priming when starting the
pump.
• Always disconnect electricity to the unit before handling
it.
• Do not lift the unit by the power cord.
• Do not pump heated liquids. Max. Temperature 35° C or
100° F.
• Conformity with local and State electric codes is mandato-
ry. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company
if in doubt.
• Power cables as well as extension cables may be done us-
ing same cord type.
• Take care that connections are done in areas protected
from flooding.
• Before installation please check for any damage to the unit
(e.g. power cable and plug).
Before Operating
• The unit is supplied with a grounding conductor and a
grounding type plug.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly
grounded electrical circuit equipped with an interrupter
device. For all electrical connections, a separate line with
a fuse or circuit breaker switch should be run from the
meter, or breaker box, and properly grounded.
• Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug.
• This pump is designed for 115- Volt - 60 Hz operation Be
Sure the supply voltage is the same.
• Never pump gasoline or other flammable liquids or oper-
ate in the areas where flammable or explosive fumes are
present as fire or explosion could occur.
• Unit features can be read on one side of its packaging.
• Piping must be protected against freezing which will cause
damage and void the warranty.
• Do not run pump dry. If the pump is run dry, damage will
result and void the warranty.
• This pump must be primed before running.

Maintenance
[See Figure 3 for all item numbers referenced below]
1. Turn OFF the electrical supply.
2. Drain the pump body by removing the drain plug (Item No.
2)
3. Unscrew the 6 bolt (Item No. 4) that fix the pump body
(Item No. 1) to the pump support (Item No. 12) remove
the pump body. If the body is stuck you can gently insert
a screw driver between the pump body (Item No. 1) and
pump support (Item No. 12) and pry apart..
4. Remove the 1 retaining screw that holds the fan cover (Item
No. 33) in place. Then slide the fan cover (Item No. 33)
from the motor casing (Item No. 18).
5. Once the fan cover is removed the fan (Item No. 32) can
then be removed from the Shaft (Item No.17)
6. The shaft (Item No. 17) can then be gripped so that the im-
peller (Item No. 10) can be unscrewed giving access to the
mechanical Seal (Item No. 11). The rotary part will stay on
the impeller (Item No.10) and the static part will be retained
in the pump support (Item No. 12).

7. By inserting a flat head screwdriver between the back of the
seal (Item No. 11) and the impeller (Item No. 10) and then
twisting it gently the seal can be removed from the impel-
ler (Item No. 10) allowing the rotary part of the seal to be
removed.
8. The static part of the mechanical seal (Item No. 11) can then
be prized out of the pump support (Item No. 12) by insert-
ing a small flat head screw driver between the static seal
rubber & the plastic of the pump support
9. Before rebuilding the pump inspect all the parts for damage
including the replacement parts.

10. Gently press the new static seal into the pump support.
11. Next slide the new rotary part of the mechanical seal onto
the impeller and press into place.
12. Now the impeller can be refitted by holding the shaft and
screwing the impeller clockwise back into place. Refit
the pump body and tighten evenly using the original bolts
and washers. Refit the fan checking that that shaft rotates
freely. Refit the fan cover and retaining screw.
13. Refit the drain plug, re-prime the pump body and test the
pump
