IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all

possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense

and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

UNPACKING

1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.

2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.

3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the pump was not damaged while shipping.

4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily

operated the pump.

WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the pump until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so

could result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

1. Pump Body

2. Pump Handle (2 piece – Crank & Handle with nut)

3. Bung Nut with 2: threads (2 piece)

4. Discharge Spout (2 piece construction)

5. Suction Tube (3 piece construction)

WETTED COMPONENTS: Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Stainless Steel

316, Ryton & Viton.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1. Assemble the two parts of the discharge spout together and fasten the assembly onto the outlet on the main

pump body.

2. Fix the pump handle onto the crank and connect the crank to the crankshaft on the pump body. Secure the

connection using the bolt provided. Make sure that the bolt ﬁts onto the depression in the crankshaft.

3. Assemble the suction tube parts, depending upon the

drum size on which the pump is to be installed. The

suction tube part with the strainer may be connected

directly onto the pump inlet or assembled with one

extension or both extensions, depending upon the

drum size. All 3 parts must be connected for use with

a 55 gallon (205 litre) drums. It is good practice to use

a sealant such as Teﬂon in connecting the suction tube

parts for a totally leak-proof connection.

4. Chose the bung adapter from the two that best ﬁts

your drum. Each pack comes with two adapters, which

have a slight difference in the threads to suit different

drums (metal and plastic). Slide the selected 2 in. bung

onto the tube from the top end and tighten the suction

tube onto the inlet on the main pump body. It is good

practice to use a sealant such as Teﬂon in connecting

the suction tube to the pump inlet.

5. Insert the pump assembly into the drum from

the 2: bung opening on the drum.

6. Once the bottom of the pump touches the base of the drum, securely fasten the bung onto the drum. Now

very lightly tighten the bung onto the suction tube.

PRIMING

7. Take an empty container and place it below the discharge spout. Start to rotate the pump handle. Within a

maximum of 7 rotations, the pump will be primed and will start dispensing media. In a rare case, where the

pump does not get primed, the same can be done by reversing the outlet discharge spout on the pump and

pouring about 30 ml of any oil into the outlet and turning the pump handle about seven rotations.

8. Once you have completed pumping the media, it is a good practice to invert the discharge spout sideways

for a non-drip operation.

NOTE: If the pump is re-used after an extended period of time, it may loose it's prime and need to be re-

primed, follow step 7 above.
