down.
Clean unit with cotton cloth and wipe dry. Remove batteries and store in a clean, dry
location, out of reach of children.
1. Find the adaptor that is the best fit for your can and make sure it is fastened tightly
to your supply tank.
2. Insert intake hose through the adaptor and fasten the pump’s joint nut tightly.
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT UP OR PUSH DOWN THE PUMP WHILE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL

discharge nozzle is in a vertical position as per Figure 1.
Make sure that the supplying tank and receiving tank are on the same level when
pump is operating.
For tanks which do not fit with the clip, make sure discharge nozzle is in a vertical
position.
4. Start the flow of fuel by pressing the “On” button. Pump will automatically stop
when the fuel reaches the stop line.
