BT46 12 VOLT FUEL PUMP KITS
Thank you for your purchase of your Equipco Diesel Transfer pump.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The pump is a safe priming rotating vane type equipped with integral by-pass valve
and is positive-displacement in function. The 12 volt DC motor is a sealed
non-ventilated type with 30 minute duty cycle.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The unit is designed for mounting direct to a tank or drum, as a
manual carry pump or installed as part of equipment.
1. Carefully clean inlet and outlet ports and remove dust and residual packing
material.
2. Standard Vertical Kit: Please ensure pump is mounted horizontally. Screw
suction pipe assembly on to pump, seal with thread tape or similar and tighten
securely. Fit hose to pump horizontal outlet and attach hose to nozzle con-
nection. Ensure all connections are leak proof and tight. Cut suction pipe to
correct depth and mount drum connector to
suction point. Carefully check that thread is not crossed and tighten screw
connections
3. Take care with suction and delivery pipework to avoid stress transmitted by
pipes to the pump ports. Be sure suction strainer is fitted to protect pump or
accessories and remove all threading residual material and scale from
storage tank and pipes.
4. In the case of mobile storage tanks, ensure baffle is fitted to protect suction
pipe from surge damage.
5. Before connecting delivery piping or hose, partially fill pump casing with diesel
to facilitate first priming.
6. Refer to back page for power cable alterations.
7. Risks due to extreme temperature. Remember that a very low temperature
(-10°C) can freeze the Diesel oil inside the pump. This situation can cause
serious damage to the motor pump unit. A very high temperature
(above 45°C) may cause the plastic parts in the unit to expand. The unit
should be placed in a well ventilated place and protected from the sun. Also
the pump unit should be protected from rain and the possibility of water
damage.
NOTE: A suction strainer must be fitted to protect pump from possible damage.
Failure to do this will void warranty claims.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Motor does not run
No
or
low Pump Delivery
Motor stops or has burning smell
POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. No electrical power Check supply current, connections and fuses
2. Blocked rotor Remove pump cover and check for obstructions
3. Motor failure Contact repair centre
POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Problem in suction pipe Check for blockage or air leaks
Opened by-pass valve Remove and check for obstructions
Blocked hose or nozzle Check pump outlet, hose and nozzle
Vanes worn Remove pump cover and replace vanes
Clogged strainer Clean strainer in suction pipe and internal pump
Excessive suction head Lower pump level Max 4.5 Metre

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Low voltage current Verify inlet voltage
Blockage inside pump Disassemble and clean the pump
Motor failure Contact repair centre
POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Narrow Suction / Delivery hose Increase size of hose or pipe
Blocked filter Remove and clean filter
Pumping of oils Pump must only be used with diesel fuel
Motor breakdown Contact repair centre
POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Connections Loose Verify all connections are sealed
Pump seal failure Replace seal

MAINTENANCE
Your pump has been designed and built to require minimum
maintenance. Check the pump casing and pipe joints frequently for
leaks. Keep pump and unit clean and shelter from adverse weather
conditions. Every 3 months check and clean the suction strainer as
necessary.
IT IS THE IN- STALLERS RE-
SPONSIBILITY TO CONNECT THE UNIT USING PIPEWORK OR
HOSE APPROVED FOR USE WITH DIESEL FUEL.
MAKE SURE ANY ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES SUCH AS
DELIVERY FILTERS OR FILLING DEVICES ETC., ARE SUITABLE
FOR USE WITH FUEL TRANSFER.
For vertical suction length over 2 Metres a foot valve with filter is
required to ensure priming function.
For suction lengths over 2.7 Metres or a horizontal suction length over
4.5 Metres use a pipe for hose with minimum 1” (25mm) bore.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The motor is supplies with a 2 Mtr long power cable with clamps for
Connection to the battery.
Red—Positive Pole (+) Black—Negative Pole (-)
Ensure correct voltage battery is being used to power unit. Maximum variation allowed
for voltage is ±5% of rated value. A start-stop switch is standard with a rated fuse for
motor protection.
30 Amp fuse—12 volt 15 Amp fuse—24 volt
It is the installers responsibility to make the electrical installation in accordance
with the applicable local codes and safety regulations.
START UP AND OPERATION
Ensure that amount of Diesel in suction tank is greater than amount to be pumped.
Never run the pump dry as serious damage could result and void the warranty.
(1) Check voltage of power source is same as that of the pump.
(2) Always connect rod terminal to + pole. Black terminal to - pole
(3) Never touch different polarity terminals together as a spark may occur causing a
fire or explosion. Damage to pump motor also may occur.
(4) Take the nozzle out from the holder checking it is closed.
(5) Operate the starting switch. The bypass allows the pump to operate with a
closed nozzle for short periods of time. 30 seconds maximum.
(6) Insert the nozzle into container or tank to be fitted.
(7) Holding the nozzle firmly, operate the lever to dispense fuel.
(8) Release nozzle lever to stop dispensing.
(9) Switch the pump off and put nozzle back in the holder.
Pump duty cycle is for 30 minutes maximum. This
means that pump must be allowed to cool for at least 30
minutes before using again. Failure to follow this direction could cause motor failure.
ATTENTION
In hot weather it is recommended to open the nozzle once the pump is stopped to
release stored pressure.
Likewise in extreme cold temperatures drain the hose and nozzle when not in use.
Failure to do this could cause overpressure due to expansion and damage the pump.
WARNING
This pump is for use with Diesel Fuel only.
Do not use for transfer of petrol, petroleum products or any other fluid with a
flash point below 55° C (130° F).
The motor is not of explosion proof type.
