1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK
3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a 30 amp supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your
electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

3.1 Unpack the product and check contents against figure 1. Should there be any missing or damaged
parts contact your supplier immediately.
WARNING! This unit must be installed and tested by a qualified fuel system maintenance
engineer. We do not accept any liability for damage or injury caused due to incorrect
installation.
WARNING: DO NOT use conical fittings which can cause damage to seats on pump casing.
ASSEMBLY
3.2 To install the delivery tube support hook ( see kit 4 in fig.1 ) it will be necessary to remove the red
top cover. Undo 3 screws from the right hand side of the cover and the 2 screws from the top
side of the cover and one from above the support hook, lift upwards and tilt towards you.
Loosen the bots on the bottom of the pump and slide the support hook to a desired length then
tighten the bolts making sure that the retaining bar and nuts are holding it in place.
3.3 Uncoil the mains cable and feed it through hole ‘C’ as indicated in fig.2. To make the electrical
connections refer to section 3.11 and the electrical safety advice in Section 1. If the unit is to be
wall mounted this will be done with the cover removed. The fixing holes are indicated by ‘B’ in
fig.2. Replace the top cover.
3.4 Take the reset knob ( item 5 fig.1) and insert it through the hole in the left hand side of the casing
and onto the shaft which is connected to the meter. The shaft has a groove which needs to be
aligned with that on the reset knob.
OUTLET/DELIVERY CONNECTION
3.5 Remove the plastic transport plug from the outlet hole on the left hand side of the unit (fig.3.G).
Before connecting the delivery pipe ensure all components are free from manufacturing debris or
packaging materials.
3.6 Partially fill pump casing by gently pouring diesel fuel into the outlet hole (fig.3.G) in order to
prime unit ready for use. Screw pipe elbow (fig1.6) into outlet hole (fig.3.G), and connect one
end of delivery hose (fig.1.3) to the elbow, and the other end to delivery nozzle (fig.1.2).
INLET CONNECTION (Piping Specification.)
3.7 a) The inlet piping must resist a pressure of at least 10 bar and must be not less than 1”
diameter.
b) The tubing/piping must be suitable for low pressure applications.
c) The tubing/piping and accessories used must be suitable for use with diesel fuel.
d) Any curves in the inlet tubing/piping must be of the widest possible radius to aid flow.
3.8 Remove the plastic transport plug from the fuel inlet hole on the underside of the pump
(fig.3.F). Before connecting the inlet suction pipe ensure all components are free from
manufacturing debris or packaging materials. To make the inlet connections the unit is
supplied with a kit (See item 7 fig.1) consisting of two 1“ push-in connectors for use with 1”
flexible tubing with two worm drive hose clips to secure them. The kit also contains a check
valve and filter which must be used at the end of the inlet piping inside the tank, whether
flexible or rigid pipe is used (See fig.4). The check valve and filter must always be immersed at
the bottom of the tank. To aid priming of the pump it is suggested that the inlet pipe be filled
with diesel fuel prior to it being connected to the inlet hole on the underside of the unit (See ‘F’
in fig.3).
3.9 Lower the on/off switch (fig1.8) to ensure the unit is in the OFF mode, and place the nozzle in
its housing (fig3.H).
MOUNTING THE UNIT
3.10 Whilst the unit can be installed out-of-doors it is recommended that it should be under the
cover of a roof to prolong the units working life and also to provide shelter when dispensing
diesel fuel in bad weather conditions. Careful consideration must be given to the location of the
pump unit to ensure that installation and use of the unit is safe. The unit can be wall,
tank or pedestal mounted. The pump should not be mounted below the fuel
level in a full tank or higher than 2 metres above the maximum fuel level
when a 1” inlet pipe is being used (See fig.4).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
3.11 The connection to the mains supply should be carried out by a qualified
electrician who can advise on the best arrangement for your installation.
The unit can be hard wired directly into a switch unit or connected via a
3-pin plug to the mains supply. In either case weather proof plugs, sockets
and switches should be used. The unit is not equipped with safety switches
and it is therefore recommended that in the absence of any other fuse
arrangements a 30mA circuit breaker is installed upstream of the mains outlet
used. Please refer also to the electrical safety advice given in section 1.

4. PRIMING & OPERATION
5. MAINTENANCE
PRIMING OF THE UNIT
4.1 Care should be taken when priming the pump as the
process could take between several seconds or several
minutes depending on the configuration of the
installation. As previously stated to aid priming of the
pump it is suggested that the inlet pipe be filled with
diesel fuel prior to it being connected to the inlet hole on
the underside of the unit and the pump should be
partially filled by pouring diesel fuel into the pump outlet
before connecting the delivery tube and nozzle.
4.2 Remove the delivery nozzle from its stowage position
and direct it into a suitable container.
4.3 Turn the pump on by lifting up the on/off switch lever (fig.5) then depress the trigger and keep it
depressed until fuel emerges in a steady flow that is free of air.
4.4 If the priming process seems prolonged turn the pump off by lowering the on/off switch lever (fig.6) and
check the following points.
4.5 a) Is the pump running dry?
b) Is the suction pipe airtight and completely immersed in the diesel fuel?
c) Is the suction filter clogged?
d) Has the pump been installed more than 2 metres above the level of the fuel?
e) Has all residual air in all parts of the system been evacuated?
OPERATING THE UNIT
4.6 To avoid running the pump dry check that the amount of fuel available in the tank is greater than the
amount of fuel to be dispensed. When delivery is complete the end of the suction tube with check valve
and filter should still be completely immersed in the fuel.
4.7 When the unit is turned on, the “by pass” valve on the pump will enable it to operate with the nozzle
trigger closed for approximately 2-3 minutes only. If the dispensing of the fuel is delayed for any reason
the unit should be turned off again.
4.8 Rotate the meter reset knob in an anticlockwise direction to return the display to zero. The cumulative
display below cannot be reset.
4.9 Lift the dispensing nozzle from its rest and check that the trigger lever is in the off position, as shown in
fig.7, before inserting it into the vehicle filler opening or container.
4.10 Turn the pump on by lifting the on/off switch up (See fig.5).
4.11 Press the nozzle trigger and keep it depressed until the desired quantity has been dispensed, then
release the trigger.
4.12 Turn the unit off by lowering the on/off switch (See fig.6) and replace the nozzle onto the rest.
4.13 Hang the delivery tube onto the tube support rest to prevent it being crushed by the wheels of passing
vehicles.
4.14 When a large amount of fuel is to be dispensed it is possible to lock the trigger of the dispensing nozzle
in the ‘on’ position as indicated in fig 8. The operator must remain at the pump at all times to supervise
the entire dispensing process. To unlock the trigger squeeze the lever tightly and the locking bar will
spring out of the way.
The trigger must always be unlocked before the pump is switched off.
 WARNING! DO NOT leave the pump operating unattended.
 WARNING! DO NOT stow the delivery nozzle back in its housing with the trigger in the locked on
position.
 DANGER! Clean up any spillage in accordance with regulations governing the handling of diesel fuels.

WEEKLY INSPECTION
5.1 Clean the entire installation and inspect all piping connections for leaks.
5.2 Inspect the back pressure sensor hole on the dispensing nozzle for blockage
and clean out if necessary (See fig.10).
5.3 Clean the filter and check valve at the end of the suction tube on a weekly basis
and every time the tank is refilled.
CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER
5.4 The pump filter should be cleaned on a weekly basis and whenever a reduction
in flow rate is noticed. This may occur in particular when the fuel tank is topped
up which may stir up sediment from in the bottom of the tank.
5.5 To access the pump filter it will be necessary to remove the top cover. Undo 3
screws from the right hand side of the cover and the 2 screws from the top side
of the cover and one from above the support hook, lift upwards and tilt towards
you. Remove the bolts holding the filter cover covering the filter chamber also
remove the rubber seal (fig.9A) and withdraw the filter (fig.9B). Clean and dry the
filter (blow it through with an airline if available). Put the clean filter back into its
chamber and replace the rubber seal and fliter cover.
5.6 Replace the top cover.
