WARNING
The pumping unit must be connected to a suitable ground before operation. Arcing caused by
buildup of static electricity may Ignite volatile fluids and cause explosion and fire.
CAUTION
Maintain clearance under the pumping unit. Intake cooling air entering the underside of the
pumping unit can be blocked, causing damage to the unit.
NOTE
The pumping unit Is designed to be versatile and fulfill many potential tasks during the transfer of
flammable liquids. Therefore the following set up Is a typical set up for transfer of flammable liquid
from a 55-gallon drum to a nozzle assembly at the dispensing point. The proper pump
accessories are provided with the pumping unit to allow many other potential applications. For
any application, the basic setup remains the same for the pump assembly. The only differences
would be the pump accessories selected for use and connected to the pump assembly.
a.
The pump should be positioned on a level surface near the source of fuel being pumped.
b.
Drive ground rod (1) into earth. Secure one end of grounding cable (2) to pump ground connection (3). Secure
other end of grounding cable to ground rod (1) Make sure grounding cable makes metal-to-metal contact with
pump frame and rod.
c.
Remove dust plug (4) from suction (Intake) female cam-lock coupling. Remove dust cap (5) from suction hose
assembly adapter Connect male end of suction hose assembly to suction (intake) female coupling
d.
Remove dust plug (6) from suction hose assembly and remove dust cap (7) from coupler and drum unloader 90
degree elbow. Connect suction hose assembly coupler to drum unloader 90 degree elbow or make connections
to other pump accessories as required by desired application.
e.
Remove dust cap (8) from pump discharge male cam-lock coupling (9) Remove dust plug (10) from discharge
hose assembly coupler, and connect female end of discharge hose assembly to pump discharge male coupling
(9)
f.
Close the pump drain valve, then prime the pump assembly by filling the volute with approximately two gallons
of the liquid to be pumped through the discharge of the pump (9).
NOTE
As fluid fills the volute, air Is removed through the discharge port.
