GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to:
• Know and follow applicable national, state and local safety codes
pertaining to installing and operating electrical equipment for use with
flammable liquids.
• Know and follow all safety precautions when handling petroleum fuels.
• Ensure that all equipment operators have access to adequate
instructions concerning safe operating and maintenance procedures.
Observe all safety precautions concerning safe handling of petroleum fuels.
To ensure safe operation, all fuel transfer
systems must be properly grounded. Proper
grounding means a continuous metal-to-metal contact from one
component to the next, including tank, tank mount, pump, meter,
filter, hose and nozzle. Care should be taken to ensure proper
grounding during initial installation and after any service or repair
procedures. For your safety, please take a moment to review the
warnings below.
To prevent physical injury or property damage,
observe precautions against fire or explosion
when dispensing fuel. Do not operate the system in the presence
of any source of ignition including running or hot engines, lighted
tobacco products, gas or electric heaters, or any type of electronic
device. A spark can ignite fuel vapors.
Observe precautions against electrical shock
when operating the system. Serious or fatal
shock can result from operating electrical equipment in damp
or wet locations.
Inspect external pump wiring regularly to
make sure it is correctly attached to the battery.
To avoid electrical shock, use extra care when connecting the pump
to power.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum
fuels. Use protective goggles, gloves and aprons
in case of splashing or spills. Change saturated clothing and wash
skin promptly with soap and water.
Observe precautions against electrical shock
when servicing the pump. Always disconnect
power before repairing or servicing. Never apply electrical power
to the system when any of the coverplates are removed.
If using solvent to clean pump components
or tank, observe the solvent manufacturer’s
recommendations for safe use and disposal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mechanical Connections
NOTE: All threaded fuel connections must be sealed with thread tape or a
pipe thread sealing compound approved for use with petroleum fuels and
tightened securely to prevent leakage.
NOTE: This pump must be mounted on a vented tank. If the tank is not
vented, contact Grainger for the correct vent.
NOTE: This pump is designed to mount directly to a standard 2 inch female
tank adapter (included) (see Figure 2). The suction pipe should extend to
within 3 inches (7.62 cm) of tank bottom. Apply thread tape to the suction
pipe thread and securely tighten the suction pipe to the pump inlet port.
NOTE: This pump is designed to self-prime with dry gears. Expect suction
lift as follows:
Manual Nozzle: 5.5 feet (1.7 m) with diesel
6.7 feet (2.1 m) with gasoline
Automatic Nozzle: 4.8 feet (1.5 m) with diesel
5.8 feet (1.8 m) with gasoline
If you require a greater initial prime height, coat the gears with fluid by
removing the plug on the top of the pump and pour a small quantity of
motor oil into the gear cavity. Replace the plug and try again. Afoot valve
with pressure relief may be needed to maintain prime.
Install Tank Adapter and Suction Pipe
NOTE: Suction pipe is not included with model M-1115S-PO.
Wrap the 2" threaded end of the tank adapter with three or four turns of
thread tape (see Figure 2). Using a pipe wrench, tighten the adapter
snugly into the fuel tank.
NOTE: For Aluminum Tank Installation - To prevent thread galling of
aluminum fittings, always prepare the threads for assembly using an
anti-seize compound such as Loctite®567TM, Hernon®Dripstop®940,
or equivalent.
1. Using pliers, remove the plastic plug from inlet port on bottom of pump.
Place the spin collar gasket into the inlet fitting on the bottom of the
pump (see Figure 3).
2. Wrap the threaded end of suction pipe with three or four turns of thread
tape (see Figure 4). Thread the suction pipe into the inlet port on the
bottom of the pump and hand tighten until snug (see Figure 5).
NOTE: If your tank is 15 - 24 inches deep, do not use the included suction
pipe extension; if your tank is 24 - 40 inches deep, attach the suction pipe
extension (see Figure 6).

Install Pump on Tank
1. Clean the tank interior of all dirt and foreign material.
2. Carefully lift pump / suction pipe assembly and insert suction pipe into
the tank opening after telescoping suction pipe out.
While holding the spin collar gasket in place, position the pump spin collar
onto the tank adapter and tighten using a pipe wrench, making sure the
spin collar is not cross-threaded (see Figure 7); The spin collar measures
2.26 inches (57.40 mm) across flats.
NOTE: To prevent pressure buildup and possible fuel leaks through the
nozzle, make sure the fuel tank is properly vented. A vent cap rated at
3 psi (20.68 kPa) or less is recommended.

NOTE: Dispensing hose and nozzle are not included with model M-1115S-PO.
1. Using pliers, remove the plastic plug from outlet port on front of pump.
Wrap one end of the dispensing hose with three to four turns of thread
tape and thread into outlet port (see Figure 8). Tighten securely using
an adjustable wrench.
2. Wrap opposite end of hose with three or four turns of thread tape and
thread into nozzle. Tighten securely using an adjustable wrench
(see Figure 9).
3. Place the nozzle into the nozzle holder on the end of the pump motor
housing. Note that the nozzle cannot be placed in the holder unless
the pump switch is OFF (see Figure 10).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Connect to a Power Source
IMPORTANT: The pump is designed for use with a 115-volt power source.
Do not attempt installation on a 12-volt, 24-volt or 230-volt system.
Observe precautions against electrical shock
when servicing the pump. Always disconnect
power before repairing or servicing. Never apply electrical power
to the system when any of the coverplates are removed.
It is important to exercise more than ordinary
care with electrical installation and maintenance.
Failure to follow these electrical connection instructions could
result in death or serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.
IMPORTANT: Electrical wiring and connections must be made only by a
licensed electrician in accordance with national, state and local electrical
codes regarding Class I, Division 1 requirements as well as NFPA Code
70 and 30. Other codes may apply.
1. Install UL Listed, rigid metal conduit and code-specified gasoline
and oil-resistant wire with ground wire from switch box to the pump
electrical box, using proper seal offs.
2. Remove the electrical coverplate (see Figure 11). Be careful not to
damage gasket.
3. Route the wiring and conduit to the pump.
4. Attach wiring to pump wires using provided wire nuts.
5. Position all wires inside the pump electrical cavity and replace
the coverplate.
