Ensure the refuelling trailer and vehicle or power unit to
be refuelled are adjacent to each other and within the
10m reach of the dispensing hose. Apply all park brakes
and turn all engines off.
Reset the delivery meter prior to fuel dispensing if
required. Simply turn the handle located on the left of
the meter clockwise until the top dials all read zero. The
smaller bottom gauge cannot be reset.
To prevent accidental spillage, dip the fuel tank before
and after fuel dispensing with the dip stick provided.
Ensure the fuel tank capacity of the unit to be refuelled is
known. The auto shut off nozzle should engage when the
vehicle tank is full. Nevertheless, care should be taken to
preventaccidentalspillageduringrefuelling.
Remove the fuel cap from the unit to be refuelled and
clean any dirt or dust to prevent contamination during
refuelling.
On diesel units, start the pump engine and open the
suction isolation valve. Solar powered pumps are self-
priming -fuel will commence to flow when the hand held
auto nozzle trigger is engaged on either unit. This has an
auto shut off mechanism but care should be taken when
refuellingtopreventaccidentalspillage.
Insert therefuelling nozzle and commencerefuelling.
When refuelling is complete replace all caps, and fully
retract the dispensing reel and house the dispensing
nozzle in the trailer housing.
Under nocircumstances leave the unit unattended whilst
refuelling.
On the diesel powered model, ensure the suction
isolation valve is opened and closed prior to and after
refuelling has taken place. The solar model does not
require one as the pump is designed to maintain
prime when not in use
Care should also betaken if the trailer is completely
emptied during refuelling. If this occurs, the pumping
unit must be shut off immediately to prevent irreparable
damage. Suction can also be lost on diesel powered units
requiring the unit to be re-primed. Simply follow the steps
in the Pumping section on page 14.
For safe and reliable service of diesel engine powered
trailers, ensure the separate engine operating guide is
referred to prior to operations. Failure to read and fully
understand the manual may result in incorrect operation
leading to equipment damage or personal injury.
For solar powered trailers, ensure the unit has sufficient
charge as the unit will fail to pump if this is not the case.
Refer to the LED charge indicators showing battery
voltage, this is located inside the lockable front cabinet
of the trailer. It is not advisable to operate the pump
when a voltage below 11v is displayed, doing so can
cause irreparable damage to the battery.
A standard 12v battery charger can be used if the battery
has insufficient charge. Only trained personnel should
attempt to recharge using jump leads connected to
another vehicle and pumping should only commence
after five minutes of charge being introduced via vehicle
jump leads.
Only when familiar with the safe operation ofeither
pumping mechanism, commence refuelling.
The hirer is liable if damage occurs to pumping units
which continue to run without fuel.
