Safety Information
To ensure a safe installation and proper equipment operation, please read, understand, and adhere to all DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION and other NOTICES.
To ensure safe and proper operation of your equipment, it is critical to read and adhere to all of the following safety warnings and
precautions. Improper installation or use of this product can cause damage to the device and serious bodily injury or death!
1. When using the FRHP32V and FRAP32V with Diesel Exhaust Fluid, maintaining the purity of the DEF / AUS32
(Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%) is critical; as such, it is imperative once the system is assembled, it must remain sealed to
ensure the integrity of the fluid. Breaking the seal on the system can lead to fluid contamination.
2. After dispensing DEF be certain to drain all the fluid from the nozzle, making sure it is pointing downward when stored. DEF
remaining in the nozzle tip and exposed to air will crystallize and can plug the nozzle.
3. DO NOT lay the dispensing nozzle on the ground or any surface that may contaminate the nozzle tip as this can compromise
the purity of the DEF.
4. The base is designed to mount directly to the barrel bung; as such it has 2" NPS threads. Plumbing sealant appropriate for
the fluids and chemicals being dispensed is highly recommended; the 2" threaded bung mount does not require sealant.
5. Storage tanks should be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or empty.
6. If the pump will see periods of low or no use, flush it regularly when pumping DEF, corrosive materials, or fluids that harden.
If the pump is used for DEF, use only DEF or de-ionized water to flush the pump (FRHP32V and FRAP32V applications).
7. DO NOT use the pump with fluids intended for human consumption.
8. This pump is not for use with fluids that have a flash point below 100°F (37.8°C, ie: gasoline, alcohol). Refer to NFPA
325M (Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids) for flash points of common liquids. Static
electricity buildup and discharge could result in arc and explosion.
9. On hand operated pumps, leave the handle in the down position when not in use to prevent accidental dispensing of fluid.
FRAP32V AIR OPERATED PUMP
1. Apply thread sealant or compound (appropriate for the fluid to be
pumped) to the suction tube threads; screw tube into the pump inlet.
2. Adjust length of suction tube to desired level.
3. Screw pump into tank or barrel application until the spout faces the
desired direction for dispensing.
4. Tighten the lock ring securely onto the tank or barrel
5. Attach air supply line to air inlet on pump.
FR20V AND FRHP32V HAND OPERATED PUMPS
1. Apply thread sealant tape or compound (appropriate for the fluid to be
pumped) to the suction tube threads; screw tube into the pump inlet.
2. Slide suction pipe into tank or barrel.
3. Screw pump into tank or barrel application until the spout faces the
desired direction for dispensing.
4. Tighten the lock ring securely onto the tank or barrel.
5. If applicable, attach dispensing hose to spout outlet; clamp securely in
place.
6. Pull up adjusting knob on top of the regulator.
7. Open air inlet valve to begin
flow of fluid; discharge into
a suitable container.
8. Adjust air pressure by
rotating the knob on top of
the regulator until a smooth
flow is achieved.
9. Push regulator knob down
to lock it into place.
10. Close air inlet valve to
stop flow.
11. If applicable, attach
dispensing hose to
spout outlet; clamp
securely in place.
Installation
Do NOT exceed 100 PSI air pressure on
air supply.
TANK VENTING: In most cases it is desirable to vent the container being pumped from to prevent possible collapsing. The
FR20V and FRHP32V hand pumps are self venting when screwed into a typical barrel. This is particularly important when
working with Diesel Exhaust Fluid as exposure to air will crystallize the fluid instantly. It is critical to maintain the seal to a
barrel or drum of Diesel Exhaust Fluid to maintain the integrity of the fluid.

About Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
The Fill-Rite DEF pump is designed to pump AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%), better known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid, or “DEF”.
AUS32 is used by modern diesel engines which are equipped with an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. DEF never comes into contact with the fuel;
the common misconception is that it is an additive. DEF is carried on-board the vehicle in its own storage tank. It is injected into the exhaust gases as a post
combustion process through an SCR where it breaks harmful NOx (Nitrous Oxide) emissions down into mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen.
Because the specific purity of the AUS32 solution is critical to the catalytic reaction, the Fill-Rite DEF pump is designed to maintain the integrity by using
components made of materials that will not taint or alter the solutions chemical structure.
After initial assembly and installation, flush the entire dispensing system by pumping 1 - 2 gallons of DEF through it. This
purges the system of air, and ensures any impurities that may have been in the system are washed out. Dispose of the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid used to flush the system using approved Diesel Exhaust Fluid handling procedures; do not return the fluid to the
drum or tote, or use it in a vehicle.
Symptom Cause Cure
Pump will not prime
Suction line problem Check for leaks or restrictions in suction line
Jammed check valve Inspect inlet and piston valves
Fluid incompatibility Consult fluid mfg. for compatibility with wetted materials
Low capacity
Excessive dirt in nozzle screen Remove and clean screen
Suction line problem Check for leaks in suction line
Pump fluid leakage
Dirty seal Clean O-ring and seat area
Bad seal Replace seal
Gasket leakage Tighten covers and joints
Fluid incompatibility Consult fluid manufacturer for compatibility with wetted materials
Troubleshooting: FR20V and FRHP32V Hand Pumps
Troubleshooting: FRAP32V Air Operated Pump
Symptom Cause Cure
Pump air piston does not
operate
Air pressure is too low; minimum
recommended air pressure is 30 psi (2 bar)
Increase air supply pressure to between 30 psi and 100 psi (2 bar to 6 bar).
Piston frozen in place (frost on air
cylinder)*
Close air inlet valve and allow piston & cylinder to thaw (see * note below)
Low capacity
Low air pressure, or pressure has dropped
below 30 psi (2 bar)
Close & re-open air inlet valve
Piston frozen (see above) If stalling occurs regularly, adjust the regulator to increase the air pressure
* After periods of extensive use, usually with a hose kit, the air piston on the FRAP32V air pump may freeze because of excess moisture in the air supply line. If this
condition persists, install a filter, filter / lubricator, or a water separator to reduce moisture content in the air supply to the pump.
