OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CALIBRATION
305 remote dispensers and tank top pumps must be installed
in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Automo-
tive and Marine Service Station Code, NFPA No. 30A, and the
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70. They are designed for
use either inside of outside of buildings subject to the accep-
tance of inspection authorities having jurisdiction at points of
installation.
Mechanical Installation
1. Mount pump securely on top of tank (see pump mounting
instructions included with pump).
2. Refer to mounting plate tank mounting diagram, if appli-
cable, and install mounting plate to tank (position plate for
desired dispenser height and to allow for most direct piping
from pump to dispenser).
3. Place dispenser on mounting plate. NOTE: The screw heads
will protrude through the mounting plate clearance holes.
Remove four 1/2" hex head screws at dispenser inlet one or
two at a time to prevent movement of internal components
of dispenser. Place 5/16" or larger flat washer on screw and
4. Carefully measure and install piping between pump with
union located at pump. Pipe is not intended to support pump
or dispenser in any manner.
Electrical Installation
Refer to installation and wiring diagrams for pump and
dispenser conduit connection locations and wiring method.
1. Remove dispenser cabinet top and junction box cover (see
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY section in this manual).
2. If using conduit opening on left end of junction box, remove
plug and install a 3/4" x 1/2" conduit reducer bushing and a
1/2" short conduit elbow. Elbow should line up with hole in
dispenser base. Run rigid conduit from pump motor junction
boxto opening in base. Suggest using 1/2" expansion unions
for ease of assembly.
3. Run 1/2" rigid conduit from power source to remaining
opening in base.
4. With power turned off, connect pump wires and power wires
to line switch leads per wiring diagram. Connect ground
wires to ground screws in junction boxes and to ground
source.
1. After hose, nozzle, filter, etc. have been installed, hold nozzle
open into tank opening or container and turn on switch
handle. Allow pump to prime and evacuate air from system.
2. Reset meter to zero.
3. To check meter calibration, insert nozzle into container of
known volume and fill. If calibration is required, do so before
replacing cabinet top.
Locking Mechanism
Models with universal nozzle boots:
The nozzle retainer is designed to accept a padlock for
locking the nozzle in place when the device is not in use.
Padlock not supplied.
Models with standard nozzle boots:
The handle stop is provided with an elongated hole to
accept a padlock for locking the nozzle in place when the
device is not in use. A padlock with a minimum shackle
height of 2" and a maximum height of 3" is required. Padlock
is not supplied.
The Fill-Rite Series 900 Meter used inside the 305 pumping
system is calibrated at the factory for metering gasoline in
either U.S. gallons or liters, depending on the model. Calibra-
tion is recommended upon initial use, and required after
disassembly, when metering a different fluid, or after signifi-
cant wear. Calibration must be done between 6 and 40 GPM.
Meter calibration can be easily changed by following the
calibration procedure listed below. A proving container or a
container of KNOWN volume will be needed for the calibration
procedure. The containers volume should be at least five
times larger than the unit of calibration. For example, a five
gallon container should be used when calibrating for gallons.
Procedure for Calibration:
1. Fill container to a known volume.
2. If meter amount is incorrect, turn calibration screw (item 37)
counterclockwisefor more liquid or clockwise for less liquid.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 until calibration is acceptable.
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY

MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power to dispenser before removing cover. Drain
liquid from system before loosening any fittings to prevent
excessive spillage.
Dispenser Cabinet (see assembly drawing)
Disassembly
1. Remove front plate (item 1) by removing two screws (item
16).
2. Remove faceplate (item 51) by removing two screws (item
53).
3. Pull off reset knob (item 50).
4. Remove six screws (item 10) from cabinet top (item 11).
5. Turn switch handle (item 18) to vertical position.
6. Remove top andsetaside to expose junction box and meter.
Assembly
1. Replace cabinet top, making sure it slips over the meter and
the outside edges of the cabinet base (item 2).
2. Replace screws in cabinet top. Install the two screws in back
of cabinet before replacing side screws. Position top
squarely before tightening screws.
3. Attach reset knob.
4. Replace faceplate and front plate. Align each before tight-
ening.
Meter (see 900 meter drawing)
Meter can be completely disassembled without disturbing
piping, or meter can be partially disassembled as required.
Meter Counter Assembly (item 10)
1. To expose counter assembly, remove front plate and face-
plate per cabinet disassembly.
2. Reassemble by reversing procedure.
NOTE: Due to complicated assembly methods, individual
counter assembly parts are not available. The complete
assembly must be replaced if problems occur.
Meter Chamber Assembly (item 3)
1. To expose meter chamber assembly, gear train and seal,
remove four bolts (item 34) from back of meter.
2. Meter chamber assembly can be removed by removing four
screws (item 5).
3. Reassemble by reversing procedure.
Meter chamber assembly consists of upper and lower
chambers and nutating disc. If replacement of any
components of the meter chamber assembly is required, the
complete assembly must be replaced due to the precise
method of its construction. This assures a proper fit and a
correctly operating chamber.
Meter Gear Train and Seal
1. To access gear train or seal, remove two screws (item 5) and
gear frame (item 6).
2. Remove cluster gear (item 20), shaft (item 19) and washer
(item 21).
3. Remove drive gear (item 26) and washers (item 25) by
rotating and pulling drive gear.
4. Remove O-ring seal (item 27). When reassembling seal,
lubricate O-ring with oil or petroleum jelly and replace in
cover.
5. To reassemble, place washer on drive gear shaft. Rotate and
push shaft through O-ring and cover carefully to prevent
damage to O-ring. Shaft must then be guided into pinion
bevel (item 29) if counter has not been removed.
6. Replace remaining parts by reversing procedure.
Meter should operate maintenance free. However, certain
liquids can dry out while in meter housing, causing meter to
stop. If this happens, meter should be thoroughly cleaned (see
cleaning instructions below).
Cleaning Instructions:
1. Meter can be removed from dispenser by removing eight
screws (items 22 and 27 on dispenser drawing).
2. Run a flushing fluid through meter. For a more thorough
cleaning, disassemble meter according to the
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY section, Meter Chamber
Assembly subsection of this manual. Rinse all meter
components. Recalibrate meter following calibration
instructions.
