SAFETY RULES
Protective Gloves. Prolonged contact with
hydrocarbons can cause skin irritation: when
dispensing fuel always use PVC gloves conforming
to the standard EN 388 cat.
Permitted Uses. The unit must always be used
for the purpose intended. Follow the instructions
listed under Instructions for Use.
Overheating. To prevent overheating, make sure
that the pump unit stops whenever fuel has not
been dispensed for more than 2 minutes.
Service. Service of the fuel unit must be performed
byqualiedpersonnel.
RULES FOR DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
In the event that the fuel unit is to be demolished,
the parts of which it is composed must be sent
to companies that specialize in the disposal and
recycling of industrial refuse and, in particular:
Packing Material Disposal
The packing material consists of wood and
biodegradable cardboard and can be delivered to
companies that normally recover cellulose. The
protective polyethylene foam forms are chemically
inert and can be disposed of in dumps where they
will not contribute to the formation of gas or to the
pollution of ground water by seepage.
Metal Parts Disposal
The metal parts of the cabinet, both painted and
steel are normally recoverable by companies
specialized in scrapping metal.
Electronic Circuit Card Disposal
Theelectroniccircuitcards(meters,electricpanel)
must be disposed of by companies specialized in
the disposal of electronic components.
Miscellaneous Parts Disposal
Additional parts making up the fuel unit, such
as tubes, rubber gaskets, plastic parts and
wiring harness, must be delivered to companies
specialized in the disposal of industrial refuse.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Models 1170-001 and 1170-002 fuel units are
designed for the transfer of diesel fuel for private
use. Characterized by maximum safety and
simplicity of use, these fuel units are dependable,
high-performance equipment that is quickly
installed and ready for use.
Equipment and features common to all fuel units
are:
• Self-priming pump and motor - Model 1170-
001 and 1170-002 fuel units are equipped with
self-priming, volumetric, electric rotary vane
pumps for the transfer of diesel fuel, provided
with a by-pass valve. Such a valve allows
functioning for brief periods of time even with
the dispensing nozzle closed. The closed-type,
asynchronous motor is directly coupled to the
pump body (protection class IP 55 conforming
tothestandardEN60034-5-86)self-ventilated,
12voltDCwithpermanentmagnets.Maxow
rate 10 gpm
• Meter(optional)Themeterisamechanical
oscillating disk meters designed to allow the
precise measurement of diesel fuel. The meter
is provided with a non-resettable cumulative
total in gallons and a resettable batch total. The

4
batch total has three digits, the cumulative total
hassixdigits.Themeteraccuracyis+ 1% in
theowratewithin5to30gal/min.
• Two meters of cable with battery clamps
• Four meters of anti-static rubber tube for fuel
¾”
• Manual type dispensing nozzle
• Quick coupling for 2” drum connector
• telescoping suction tube
Permitted Uses - Transfer of diesel fuel with a
viscosityfrom2to5.35cStat37.8°C.Minimum
ashpoint-550C
Uses Not Permitted - Thetransferofuidswith
different characteristics than those indicated above
is not allowed.
INSTALLATION
Assembly Procedure
Pump
• Connect the telescopic suction tube to the
pump body ensuring that you connect the
suction tube to the pump inlet as indicated by
the arrow.
• Then connect the hose assembly to the manual
on/off or automatic shut off fuel nozzle.
• Connect the hose and nozzle assembly to the
pump and motor assembly ensuring that there
are no leaks by using suitable thread tape.
• Mount the nozzle holster to the pump with
the aid of the screw set that accompanies the
pump.
• Connect the battery cables with the aid of
the heavy-duty alligator clamps to a 12 volt
battery.
• Turn on the intended power source.
• The pump motor will start to drive the vane
pump head and when you open the nozzle,
diesel fuel should start to ow from the fuel
nozzle.
• When not in use, please store fuel nozzle in
nozzle holster to ensure no contaminants can
enter the fuel nozzle.
ATTENTION - The motors are not of an anti-
explosive type. DO NOT install them where
inammablevaporscouldbepresent.
Hydraulic Connections
Remove the protective caps from the threads
on the pump. The hydraulic connections shall
be made by skilled personnel, in a workmanlike
manner, with respect for the regulations in effect
in the country of installation.
Use tubing and accessories suitable for use with
diesel fuel. Materials that are not suitable for use
with diesel fuel can cause damage to the pump,
harm people and cause pollution!
Make sure that the suction tubing is clean and
free of scum.
SUGGESTION - Before connecting the tubing to
thepumplteritisagoodideatollthetubingwith
diesel fuel to facilitate priming the pump during the
phase of putting it into operation.
Electrical Connections
The electrical connections must be performed
in a workmanlike manner by skilled personnel,
respecting the regulations in effect in the country
ofinstallation.Themaximumacceptablevariations
from the electrical parameters are: Voltage ±
5%.
Connecting the 1170-001 or 1170-002 12
VDC Simply connect the clamp to a battery
connection.
WARNING - Before to connect check the battery
voltage. To connect the 12 Vdc pump with 24 Vdc
will damage the electric motor

START UP OPERATION
Wetting the Pump - The pump provided with the
unit is a self-priming pump capable of suctioning
with empty tube, nevertheless, the pump should
bepartiallylledwithuidbeforeturningitonfor
thersttime.Itislefttothetechnician’sexperience
to determine the best way to wet the pump.
Calibrating the Meter (optional) - The meter is
already calibrated in the factory to be used with
diesel fuel. It is possible to recalibrate on site the
meter using the calibrating pin. If the meter indicate
a value greater than the real volume , unscrew the
pin. If the meter indicate a value less than the real
volume, screw the pin.
WARNING - The accuracy of the meter is not
guaranteedincasethedispensingatreducedow
rate(lessthan5gal/min).
Priming the Pump - It is advisable to oversee the
rstprimingphasetomakesurethatitishappening
in a reasonable amount of time. The priming of the
pump can require up to some second , depending
on the wetting of the pump.
WARNING -Ifthisphaseisexcessivelyprolonged,
stop the pump and verify that:
- the pump is not running completely dry;
- the suction tubing is airtight and completely
immersedintheuidtobepumped;
-thesuctionlterisnotclogged;
- the residual air in the tubes has been
evacuated.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING -
• Transfer must always occur in the presence
and under the control of the Operator.
• Keep the dispensing nozzle closed until it is
insertedinthecontainertobelled.
How to Dispense Fuel
• Rotate the reset handle in a counter-clockwise
direction to completely zero-out the batch total.
The cumulative total cannot be reset.
• Extractthedispensingnozzleandinsertitin
thecontainertobelled.
• Press the pump switch to start the pump.
• Press the nozzle lever and keep it pressed until
you have dispensed the desired quantity.
• Whendispensingisnished,pressthepump
switch in “OFF” position to stop the pump.
Replace the nozzle.
• Rehang the tube ,so that it will not be crushed
by moving vehicles.
MAINTENANCE
The unit has been designed to require the minimum
operationmaintenance.Accordingtotheexisting
regulations the following components shall be
