Safety Instructions (cont.)

GENERAL:
All transfer units come standard with an Auto shut-off gun and all pumps feature a duty cycle for 30
minutes of continuous dispensing, all pumps also contain an internal bypass that allows for the
pump to operate for up to a maximum of three minutes when the filling nozzle shuts off without
damaging the pump or motor.
SPECIFICATIONS:
TANKS:
Made from impact resistant polyethylene, UV stabilized, coloured grey and fitted with lid and
breather with a 200L, 300L or 400L or 600L capacity. Depending on the model of diesel transfer unit,
tank styles will vary as well as some features.
- 300L DIESELPAK (SQUATPAK) Features
Large non-lockable breather cap, large internal baffle
- 400L CUBE Features
Lockable filler cap with 2 keys, internal baffle, forklifting points for tanks when empty, tank
fill gauge, large pump cover suitable for neatly containing hose and gun and lock to secure
all contents of diesel transfer unit.
- 200l, 600L CUBE Features
Polytuff tank, U.V. stabilized and impact resistant with breather vent. Forklifting provision
(for moving tank when empty). Lockable pump cover
GUN: Trigger filling nozzle with automatic shut-off and hose swivel.
DELIVERY HOSE: 4m x ¾” Diesel Delivery hose supplied.
FILTRATION: Suction foot screen filter.
PUMPS:
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE- The internal Bypass fitted in all diesel pump models is designed
to protect the pump and motor from damage when the trigger is shut off for a time no greater the
2-3 minutes.
This is enough time for the operator to switch off the pump or recommence pumping.
When the nozzle is off and the pump is running the pump pressure increases and the electric motor
load increased using more power (amps) which in turn generates more heat within both the pump
and motor, risking increased wear or possible if the pump is not switched off.
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS:
Mass is specified with tank empty. To roughly calculate gross mass, add 1 kg/liter capacity. (e.g. 200L
=200Kg). All dimensions are in mm, Mass in Kg, the mass of each tank may vary according to the
type of pump fitted and other accessories.

Specifications

PREPARING THE TRANSFER UNIT FOR OPERATION:
For transport purposes some transfer units will be supplied with the Delivery hose and Automatic
Shut-off gun disconnected from the pump. Before attempting to pump any Diesel ensure that the
delivery hose is securely fitted to the pump’s outlet, and that the Automatic Shut-off gun (with
swivel) is fitted to the other end of the delivery hose.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY:
All the diesel transfer units are fitted with DC electric motors that are supplied with alligator clips
that can be connected directly to a 12-volt DC battery. Connect the Red alligator clip to the positive
terminal and the black alligator clip to the negative terminal. If the pump runs backwards, simply
swap the clips on the battery. If you intend to extend the cable or add a plug, make sure it is of
sufficient capacity 25Amps
FILLING THE DIESEL UNIT:
Ensure that the tank is supported on an even base capable of taking the weight. No Special
equipment is required for filling the tank, however when the lid has been removed from the tank
take care not to introduce contaminants into the tank via the filler neck and ensure that the lid is
kept free of contaminating particles while filling.
TRANSFERING DIESEL:
The pump will need to prime itself upon first use. Turn the pump on and depress the trigger to allow
air to bleed from the hoses, after a short time the pump will have primed and delivery will
commence. We recommend for this first priming that the lid is removed from the tank and the
nozzle is directed back into the tank while pumping to avoid spillage or loss of Diesel, with this done
the unit is now ready to operate.
To dispense the pump must be turned on and the nozzles trigger depressed, the nozzle features an
automatic shut-off which operates when fluid contacts the outer nozzle. Once the auto shut off
operates turn off the pump within 2 or 3 minutes so as not to allow the motor to run for longer than
its specified duty cycle.
The pumps have been designed and built to require minimal maintenance however it is still
important that you Always remove the pump from the power source before any inspection.
The Vanes in the head of the pump will wear over time and require replacement. To extend the life
of the Vanes, ensure that the filters are kept clean and the tank free of contaminants. If a reduced
flow rate is noticeable, or a screeching sound is heard from the pump, dirt or debris may have
entered the pumps and requires immediate cleaning before parts are permanently damaged.
Periodically check the suction foot filter to ensure that is clean and free of debris. This should be
done if there is a noticeable decrease in diesel flow rate. There is also a coarse screen mesh at the
inlet of the red “Selecta” Auto shut-off gun and can be checked by removing the gun from the swivel.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem Solution
Pump does not operate
 Ensure battery wires are connected to battery properly. Red
Clip to +ve
 Check Fuse (25A) under plastic pump switch cover is intact.
To Test & Repair if Pump does
not
operate
 Remove pump end cover, connect power to White & Black
wires to test
 If motor still does not operate, remove 3 x head cover bolts &
check for rust or obstruction, do not over tighten the screws
when replacing the cover as this will jam the rotor against the
cover and also prevent the electric motor from turning and
blow the fuse.
Pump Wiring Overheating
 This can happen when pump is operated in bypass mode for
longer than 3 minutes or if low voltage/amps. Ensure that
pump is not left running for longer than 3 minutes without
depressing Transfer Gun trigger.
 The wiring loom has been extended using wire of insufficient
gauge. 25A wire is required and a matching connector
Pump makes a
squealing/scratching sound
while running.
 This can be caused by dirt or debris entering the pump and
becoming caught in the working parts. Remove the end cover
of the pump by first unscrewing the three Socket Head screws
and lifting off the cover. Clean the impeller vanes ensuring you
remove any dirt particles caught between the ends of the
vanes and the impeller housing. Do not over-tighten head
screws when reassembling.
Pump stalls when Transfer
Gun trigger is released, and
pump is running.
 The non-return valve in the outlet of the pump may be
jammed shut. Remove the outlet hose from the pump.
Operate the white plastic valve in the outlet port of the pump
manually (by pushing it in and out), to ensure it moves freely.
To Test & Repair if the Pump
is running but low or nil flow
from nozzle
 Remove gun from hose & re-test, Run the hose into the tank
filling neck while checking.
 If flow improves, check hole in the end of the nozzle for
blockage
 Replace gun as required
Pump runs but does not
pump
 Check red alligator clip fitted to positive terminal, black to
negative. If it is the wrong way around the pump runs
backwards.
 Check suction hose and foot filter are immersed in diesel. The
suction hose may be bent up out of the diesel.
 If pump is brand new or has not been used in a long period of
time unscrew automatic gun from hose and put hose in filler
neck to prime pump
