GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
1. Keep the work area clean and dry. Damp or wet work areas can result in injury.
2. Keep children away from work area. Do not allow children to handle this product.
3.
Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools and equipment should be stored in a dry location
to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and equipment, and keep out of reach of children.
4. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force small equipment to do the work of
larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was
designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the capacity for which it was intended.
Do not modify this equipment, and do not use this equipment for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
5. Check for damaged parts. Before using this product, carefully check that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for damaged parts and any other condi-
tions that may affect the operation of this product. Replace damaged or worn parts immedi-
ately.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times to prevent tripping, falling,
back injury, etc.
7. DO NOT use the equipment when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating this equipment may result in serious
personal injury.
8. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS
To ensure safe and efficient operation, it is essential to read and follow each of these warnings
and precautions.
1. DO NOT smoke near pump or use pump near an open flame. Fire could result.
2. Disconnect power to pump before servicing pump.
3. Turn off the switch before connecting power.
4. Take motors needing service to an authorized repair shop or return to factory to maintain.
5. A filter should be used on pump outlet to ensure that no foreign material is transferred to fuel
tank.
6. Tank or barrel should be anchored to prevent tipping in both full and empty conditions.
WARNING:
1. Electrical wiring should be done by a licensed electrician in compliance with local codes.
Rigid conduit should be used and proper ground must be provided to avoid the possibility of
electrical shock. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury and/or loss
of property.
2. This product should not be used for fluid transfer into aircraft. This product is not suited for
use with fluids for human consumption, or fluids containing water.
3. Extreme operating conditions with working cycles longer than 30 minutes can cause the
motor temperature to rise, thus damaging the motor itself. Each 30-minute working cycle
should always be followed by a 30-minute power-off cooling phase.

INSTALLATION
1. Tightly screw suction pipe into inlet coupling of pumping unit. Extend suction pipe into
truck tank or barrel to within 3in. of tank bottom.
2. Screw inlet coupling of pump into 2in. tank or barrel opening. Inlet coupling must be
completely and securely threaded into an undamaged tank or barrel bung.
3. During installation and maintenance, make sure that the electric supply lines are not live.
4. Always turn off the switch before supplying electrical power.
5. Check the correct rotation direction of the DC pump. If it is inverted, check the polarity of
the connection cable.
a) RED cable: positive pole (+)
b) BLACK cable: negative pole (-)
6. Systems should be designed to require a minimum amount of suction lift. Maximum
"equivalent feet of lift" is 8 feet for diesel fuel.
7. Tank or barrel must be properly vented. A water separator should be used for pumping
diesel fuel.
8. Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated 30 Amp circuit breaker. No other
equipment should be powered from this breaker. If two pumps are supplied from one
breaker, that breaker must be capable of handing the load of both motors.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. If using flexible tubing, attach the ends of the tubing to the tank(s). In the absence of an
appropriate slot, solidly grasp the delivery tube before beginning dispensing.
2. Before starting the pump, make sure that the delivery valve is closed (dispensing nozzle or
line valve).
3. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. The by-pass valve allows functioning with the delivery closed
for only brief periods.
4. Open the delivery valve, solidly grasping the end of the tubing.
5. Close the delivery valve to stop dispensing.
6. When dispensing is finished, turn off the pump.
MAINTAINANCE
Under normal working conditions, the noise emission from all models does not exceed the
value of 80dB at a distance of three feet from the electric pump.
Transportation
When the pump is in transit, do not expose the pump to direct sunlight and avoid rain, falling,
corrosive substances, etc.
Storage
①. Store the pump in a dry place with good ventilation. Do not expose it to excessive heat,
humidity or sunlight. Never let it touch any corrosive substances.
②. Store it out of the reach of children.

Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
The motor is not turning Lack of electric power Check the electrical connections and the safety
systems
Rotor jams Check for possible damage or obstruction of
the rotating components.
Motor problems Contact with the service department
Low or no flow rate Low level in the suction tank Refill the tank
Foot valve blocked Clean and/or replace the valve
Filter clogged Clean the filter
Excessive suction pressure Lower the pump with respect to the level
High loss of head in the circuit (working with
the by-pass open)
Use shorter tubing or of greater diameter
By-pass valve blocked Dismantle the valve, clean and/or replace it
Air entering the pump or the suction tubing Check the seals of the connections
A narrowing in the suction Tubing Use tubing suitable for working under suction
pressure
Low rotation speed Check the voltage at the pump. Adjust the
voltage and/or use cables of greater cross-
section
The suction tubing is resting on the bottom of
the tank
Raise the tubing
Increased pump noise
Cavitations occurring Reduce suction pressure
Irregular functioning of the by-pass Dispense until the air is purged from the
circuit
Air present in the diesel fuel Verify the suction connections
Leakage from the pump body Seal damaged Check and replace the mechanical seal
