Assembly Instructions
1. Assemble the 1/2 inch threaded end of the hose (A) into the valve as shown. DO NOT
use any pipe sealant or tape on this connection. The rotating nut on the 90° elbow will
pull the valve against a metal cone seat to creating the seal. Tighten.
2 Wrap the ¾ inch pipe fitting end of hose (B) with PTFE tape or apply pipe sealant.
Assemble into the dispensing nozzle and tighten.
3. The tires are not inflated prior to shipment. Inflate both tires to 15 psi (1.0 bar) before
using.
To fill container

away from vehicle before filling. Placing the container on the ground allows a path for stat-
ic charge to dissipate.

removing nozzle from dispensing pump
4. Remove filler neck cap and insert service station dispensing nozzle into the filler neck
opening.
5. Keep the service station dispensing nozzle in contact with the container opening while fill-
ing. DO NOT use nozzle lock-open device. DO NOT re-enter vehicle while filling your gas
caddy or while refueling your vehicle. Re-entry could cause a static build up.
6. Fill slowly to prevent the build up of static charges. Stop immediately if you sense the
build up of static charges (sensation of hair raising or tingling of parts of body).
DO NOT resume filling until static charges dissipate.

until ratchet “CLICK” is heard. The ratchet indicates that the cap is tight and fully closed.
10.Wipe any residual fuel from outside of tank or allow to evaporate.
To dispense from container
1. Position tank in upright vertical position.
2. Slowly crack open fill cap to vent any internal pressure.
3. Retighten fill cap. (Note: Cap will self vent while dispensing).
4. Open foot valve by turning the ball valve handle clockwise as shown to be inline with the
flow in the hose.
5. Place tip of nozzle into container that is being filled. The nozzle must remain inside the
container while dispensing.
6. Fuel is gravity dispensed through nozzle. Squeeze handle to begin flow, release to stop.
7. onitor flow and liquid level to prevent spills.
8. When finished drain remaining fuel back into the tank per the instructions below.
To drain fuel from hose back into the container
1. Lay fuel cart in horizontal position (valve and fill cap up).
2. Elevate the nozzle above the hose, and slope the hose back to the valve to
provide a clear path for fluid to drain.
3. With the nozzle above the hose, squeeze the handle of the nozzle to allow hose to vent
and fuel to drain back into the tank.
4. Close the ball valve.
To close for transportation or storage
Return all fuel from hose back into tank per above instructions.
1 Close the tank
a.. Close ball valve by turning the handle until it stops in 90° position as shown.
This indicates that the ball valve is in the closed position.
