cover (3) by loosening fasteners on nozzle assembly bracket clamps and lifting nozzle assemblies from
brackets.
(5)
Remove Y-connectors (13) from base assembly of pump assembly (4).
c.
The pump assembly (4) comes fully assembled, ready for use after attaching suction (intake) and discharge
hoses. Locate pumping assembly on firm, moderately level area as close as conveniently possible to source of fuel
supply. Choose an area which will provide enough room around pumping assembly to allow convenient servicing.
WARNING
The pumping assembly 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.
