2. OPERATING CONDITIONS
Operations (fills,transfers) must be carried out in compliance with the following requirements:
For operations only choose open, unconfined places, external to buildings,and presence to
unauthorised persons.
A complete ban on smoking and open flames near the area of operation must be applied. Mobile
phones must be switched off.
In case of any Oil spill to the ground during the operations, dab with inert absorbents (e.g. sand, rags
and not sawdust), to be collected with buckets or anti-spark dustpans, The product collected will be
subsequently disposed of in appropriate containers in accordance with current waste disposal
regulations.
Upon completion, any residue of diesel on the tank will be carefully removed and disposed of, togethe
-r with contaminated objects used for cleaning.
Pay close attention to any spills so that they cannot reach sewer manholes, in
which dangerous pockets of flammable vapour may form, resulting in risk of bursting.
3. FILLING
Before fling, the user must verify that the tank has not manifest defect, either in its structure or its
service equipment. Always make sure, after filling took place, that the filing unit is tightened.
After filling the tank a minimum empty part must be left to ensure that, in case of expansion of
material as a result of the heating during transport, leakage of product or emission
of vapours into the atmosphere are anyway prevented.
With filing temperature of 15℃and max transport temperature 55℃, the maximum filling % admitted
is limited to 94%.
However, where the difference between filling and transport temperature is estimated at less than
35℃, the filling percentage may be increased, but may not in any case exceed 98%
The maximum quantities of fuel transported are designated, for each model of fuel tank, in the
following table:
The more the container is protected from extreme temperatures during transport (eg.Transport in
covered or sheeted containers), the higher the percentage of usable fill,and thus the amount of gas
oil transported.

Failure to respect the above precaution can lead to dispersion of dangerous material in
transit,or emission of flammable vapours,which, besides constituting serious violations of
environmental and traffic regulations, ,can represent danger regarding the formation of
potentially explosive atmosphere or fire triggers.
Avoid in any case of overfilling the tank: always leave an adequate minimum vacuum
that allows the free liquid expansion
4. EMPTYING
Before you start emptying it is appropriate to provide a good electrical connection (equipotential)
between the metal frame of the transfer unit and the other metal container in which you want to
dump the fuel, using, for example,a cable with pliers. For ease of understanding, the operations
are proposed with the indication in () of the component highlighted in Picture
* Check that the switch of the electric pump (6) is switched to"O".
*
Enable the power line connecting the clamps to the terminals of the battery, respecting the
polarities(red+, black-).
* Unroll the hose (7) and insert the gun (3) in the destination tank,after locking the lever in the "open"
position.
* Start the electric pump by placing the pump switch to "I".
* Proceed with transferring within max.2 minutes after the switch on of the electric pump
*
Monitor the achievement of the desired degree of filling, or wait for the overflow stop in case
of automatic gun. After completing emptying, perform the operations described in sequence:
*
Switch off the pump switch on the pump body(pos. "0").
* Drain liquid still pressing down for a few moments the gun handle(3), in order to discharge any
residual pressure in the discharge pipe.
* Store the hose (7) properly rolled in the position shown in the photo(see Picture ), placing the
gun (3) into the recessed area of the tank.
* Disconnect the power supply by disconnecting the clamps from the terminals of thebattery.
5.PRECAUTIONS
Each type of operation should be avoided/suspended in stormy weather in place or imminent, The
employer is responsible, pursuant to art, to prepare appropriate risk assessment in this regard. It is
considered useful to provide in each case the following minimum safety information:
Each object with an elevation predominant compared with the surrounding area has a greater chance

WWW.TMGINDUSTRIAL.COM P06/18 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819
of being struck by lightning: so the use of the "machine" near or under the shelter of trees, towers or
pylons must be considered at risk and, when placed above the vehicle floor, the container can represe
nt itself the subject of predominant elevation relative to the surrounding area.
Not necessarily the risk of electrocution is due 1o the fact that container's direct target of lightning.
The mere proximity to an exposed structure constitutes danger since the current of the lightning,
after hitting its target, disperses in the soil, so if you are near the hit structure and you are in contact
with the ground you may come in contact with the dispersing current and be damaged,
In case of lightning that hit a container with flammable liquid, in addition to the direct physical
damage (death), there is a real risk of fire in the container.
During transport, the power line derived from vehicle battery must be disconnected.
6.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In addition to those already given in several previous chapters, we remind the user the following import
ant requirements, where non-com-pliance may result in extremely serious consequences:
DO NOT USE IN PLACES WHERE THERE MAY BE THE DANGER OF THE FORMATION OF
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (In the case of tank with ATEX marking follow the prescription
Imposed by marking)
ALWAYS KEEP AT LEAST ONE 2KG ABC POWDER EXTINGUISHER AVALABLE OR
EQUIVALENT ONE
A IN CASE OF OUTBREAK OF FIRE, IMMEDIATELY ISOLATE THE TANK CLOSING THE SHUT-
OFF VALVE ON ASPIRATION

WWW.TMGINDUSTRIAL.COM P07/18 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819
At the end of the transfer switch the electric pump off within Tax 2 minutes, and discharge the residual
pressure acting on the gun tor a short residual delivery.
Store your gun and hose only after verifying the absence of drips
During transport, the power line must be disconnected and the shut-off valve closed.
For transportation,fasten the tank with belts to prevent any movement on the loading platform
Fuel vapour/air mixtures can ignite above 55℃, in the presence of any rigger type, such as the sparks
caused by the contact of electrical connectors clamp meter with the battery terminals.
It is therefore important, particularly in the summer, to take the filling precautions:
- Do not expose e connectors and the battery to direct sunlight, which could lead to high localised
temperatures.
- Always keep the tank at a distance of at least 1m from battery.
- Always work in open and ventilated places to prevent the formation and accumulation of flammable
vapors.
- In case of leaks or pills at diesel refrain from transferring if before thoroughly cleaning the affected
surfaces.
7.MAINTENANCE
7.1.CONTROLS
It is your responsibility to take charge of maintaining integrity and efficiency of the TANK and its devices
and equipment,in particular periodically check:
-Periodically inspect the state of wear of the surfaces of the housing,with particular regard to those of the
bottom,exposed to wear by friction with lifting systems.
-the perfect sealing of the tank, paying the utmost attention to possible loss or leakage of the fluid at the
nozzle, faucet, suction pipes and discharge valves.
-the good condition of the inscriptions on the wrapping identifying the material and its harmfulness and, if
damaged, replace them with new ones of the same type and in the exact same position.
7.2.CLEANING
The tank and its emptying device should be kept clean both by external agents (dirt, dust, etc ), and
any accidental spills of dangerous materials on the occasion of fills, flushes, loss.
For cleaning use non-corrosive products tor metal parts and for electrical cables and plastics in

general, preferring neutral or slightly alkaline greasing products. Steam systems can be used
(puli-vapor steamer),provided that the jet is not directed against parts of the electrical system or
against the plates and/or adhesive plates applied on the body of than and on the metal frame
of the emptying device.
7.3.TAMPERING
In addition to the provisions in 8, for no reason you are allowed to change the tank as regards the
characteristics of the electric emptying device; in particular:
It is strictly forbidden to replace equipment with other components different from the
original ones,without the manufacturer's warranty as regards pressure resistance.
8.SPARE PARTS
Any modification or replacement of parts of the housing, as a result of damage, accident or tampering, is
allowed only in centres authorised by it as the operation is configured as"reconditioning".
The use of non-original spare parts voids the manufacturer's warranty,if in course.
It is strictly forbidden manufacturer's warranty as regards pressure resistance.to replace equipment wit
h other components different from the original ones, without the manufacturer’s warranty as regards
pressure resistance.
9.FUEL PUMP
9.1 INSTALLATION
The pump is designed to be portable for your convenience and safety. It features a unique hinged
vane design that eliminates the need for a bypass valve. Because of its unique nature, the pumps
can be installed / used in several configurations. Read each configuration prior to beginning
installation.
IMPORTANT! Do not use check valves or foot valves; valves reduce rate of flow and performance of the
pump.
WARNING! The pump is designed primarily for portable applications, using skid tanks, drums, barrels, and
other portable fuel containers to supply fuel. It is paramount to anchor the supply tank or drum to which the
pump is connected to ensure no movement occurs in transit or while fueling. Failure to secure the tank or
drum can cause unexpected and uncontrolled movement, resulting in damage, injury, death, and potential
fire or explosion.
WWW.TMGINDUSTRIAL.COM P08/18 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819

DANGER! Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere. It is CRITICAL that all
possible sources of ignition be removed to a safe distance or extinguished. Sources of ignition would
include (but not be limited to) open flames, cigarettes, static discharge, or electrical connections that can
create a spark. Explosion, fire, and severe injury or death will occur if the explosive vapors are ignited.
9.2 FUELING SAFETY
Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere around the tank that is being filled. To
avoid possible explosion of accumulated vapors, it is critical to keep possible sources of spark / ignition
at safe distances from the fuel vapors.
The accompanying diagram
shows minimum safe distances
for safe fueling. 10’ is the
minimum safe distance between:
• Power source and fuel supply.
• Power source and tank being filled.
• Power source and pump.
9.3 FLANGE CONFIGURATION
CAUTION! Always be certain the power switch is accessible after reconfiguring the inlet and outlet ports.
WARNING! Be certain seals and screen are properly positioned and clean any time the flanges are
reconfigured. Improperly installed or dirty seals or screens could cause leaks and the potential for fire or
explosion
WWW.TMGINDUSTRIAL.COM P09/18 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819

DANGER! Be certain the power switch is “OFF” prior to connecting the battery clamps / power cables to the
power source or installing the cable into the pump to prevent unexpected starting of the motor. Unexpected
motor start can cause unintended discharge of fuel, creating an explosion and fire hazard.
The inlet and outlet flanges of your pump can be configured horizontally.
9.4 DC POWER CONNECTION
Inspect power cable before each use! Damage to the outer jacket of the cable that exposes wiring
requires replacement of the power cable.
Install power cable by aligning flat on plug with front of pump. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY! The power cable
terminates in black, and red clamps. All two clamps must be used.
1.Connect the black (negative) clamp to the
negative post of the DC power source.
