SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS
WARNING: Improper use or installation of this product can cause serious bodily injury or death.
NOT FOR USE WITH LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, ALCOHOL, EXPLOSIVES, CORROSIVES AND
FLAMMABLE, ALIMENTARY LIQUIDS.
Do not use the unit in an explosive environment.
Do not use the unit next to flammable liquids (gasoline, alcohol, etc.).
Do not use the unit in closed environments in the presence of gasoline, LPG or methane fueled vehicles.
Always wear fuel-resistant gloves and clothes during diesel delivery and wash hands with water and soap at
the end. Clean fuel spills at once to avoid slips and/or pollution.
Always wear suitable clothes and use suitable protective devices when cleaning, especially when removing
dust or waste. Always use aspirators when cleaning fuel spills.
Never place hands or limbs under moving parts.
WARNING: To ensure safe and efficient operation, it is essential to read and follow each of these
warnings and precautions.
1. DO NOT smoke near pump or use pump near an open flame. Fire could result.
2. Disconnect power to pump before servicing pump.
3. A filter should be used on pump outlet to ensure that no foreign material is transferred to fuel tank.
4. Tank or barrel should be anchored to prevent tipping in both the full and empty conditions.
5. To minimize static electricity buildup, keep nozzle in contact with container being filled.
INSTALLATION
1. Place the bracket on the ground or a steady surface, or select a sturdy, safe location on a vertical surface
Page of
to mount the bracket (away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks). Attach the bracket using bolts (not
provided) in the four holes provided.
NOTE: For best results the unit should be placed as flush with the level of liquid to be pumped as possible,
and the height from the pump to the lowest fuel level should be less than 6.5ft. (2m).
2. Screw the suction hose on the inlet fitting of pump, and the delivery hose on the outlet fitting of pump.
3. Screw the meter on the fitting of the filling nozzle, and the delivery hose on the fitting of the flow meter.
NOTE: Use oil resistant pipe sealant or Teflon® Tape on all pipe threads.
USE AND STARTING
POWER GRID ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Pump motor voltage is 120V AC, 60Hz. Electrical connection should be done on a standard socket using the
power plug provided. Do not cut or replace the provided plug.
OPERATING
1. Insert the end of suction hose which is with the filter into container with fluid.
2. Reset meter to 0.
3. Insert nozzle into container to be filled.
4. Switch pump on.
5. Operate nozzle lever to dispense fluid.
6. When desired amount of fluid has been dispensed, release nozzle lever, remove nozzle from container
and switch pump off.
7. Nozzle should be kept clean and dry, and secured in place when not in use.
WARNINGS
1. A gunlock has been provided to make filling easier, BUT DO NOT leave the nozzle unattended to avoid oil
overflow.
2. DO NOT operate the machine if there is no liquid to be dispensed.
3. DO NOT start the pump if suction and delivery hoses are not connected.
4. Do not rest suction pipe on bottom of tank.
5. Switch the pump off once the nozzle is closed. DO NOT KEEP THE PUMP WORK IN BYPASS
CONDITION MORE THAN 2 MINUTES.
6. In case of leakage current, the pump should be switched off and the plug be disconnected.
7. Do not use the pump if you are not wearing shoes, are standing in water or with wet hands.
8. Switch the pump off and disconnect the plug when not in use.
9. When transferring from open-air tanks, place the machine as far from the fuel as possible to avoid sprays
from the fuel, which may cause serious damage.
CALIBRATION OF FLOW METER
The meter used in the pumping unit is pre-calibrated in factory. Calibration is recommended upon initial use,
after disassembly or significant wear. Please check the calibration of the meter as follows.
1
Wait for the meter to go to standby.
Page of
2
Reset the resettable total.
3
Start dispensing into a measuring glass.
Stop dispensing when over 5 liters of volume is
reached, then read out the actual value. The volume
that is displayed on the LCD is the Display Value,
not the Actual Value, which may be slightly higher.
For example, in the figure on the right, the Display
Value is 18.96 while the Actual Value is 20.75.
4
Press the MENU key. Keep it pressed until showed
as the right fig., the digit flash in zone, Press the
RESET key to choose the right digit from 0 to 9.
Press the MENU key to go the next digit so that the
Actual Value can be input.
5
Make sure the correction factor is right and then
press the MENU key. Keep it pressed until
calibration is finished and the factor is save. The
meter will then return to standby.
MAINTENANCE
Before any kind of disassembly is carried out, always make sure the machine is stopped, the plug is
disconnected and the pump and the flow meter are emptied. For a better operation, clean up any kind of
debris in the flow meter filter every three months.
The pumps are designed and constructed to require a minimum of maintenance.
On a weekly basis, check that the tubing joints have not loosened, to avoid any leakage.
On a monthly basis, check the pump body and keep it clean of any impurities.
On a monthly basis, check and keep the pump filter clean and any other filters installed.
On a monthly basis, check that the electric power supply cables are in good condition.
Under normal working conditions the noise emission from all models does not exceed the value of 70dB at
a distance of 3 feet from the electric pump.

MECHANICAL RISKS
Mechanical parts subject to wear and tear
Parts such as blades, bearings, rotors, etc. should be replaced with original spare parts by qualified personal
only or in authorized service centers.
Risks due to extreme temperatures
Make sure the pump works at the ambient temperature ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 113°F (45°C).
Remember that operating at a very low temperature (about -4°F/ -20°C) can freeze the oil inside the pump.
This situation can cause serious damage to the motor pump unit.
A very high temperature (above 113°F may cause the plastic parts in the unit to expand. The unit should be
placed in a well-ventilated place and protected against the sun.

Dismantle the valve, clean and/or
replace it
Air entering the pump or the
suction tubing
Check the seals of the connections
A narrowing in the suction tubing
Use tubing suitable for working
under suction pressure

Check the voltage at the pump.
Adjust the voltage and/or use
cables of greater cross-section
Low or no flow rate
The suction tubing is resting on the
bottom of the tank
Raise the tubing
Cavitation (bubbles) occurring
Reduce suction pressure
Irregular functioning of the bypass
Dispense until the air is purged
from the circuit
