Installation

When unpacking pump, check for shipping damage. Report any shipping damage to delivering carrier imme- diately.

CAUTION

Do not use a curb pump automatic shut-off nozzle with this pump. Use of a curb pump automatic nozzle may cause priming problems, reduced output flow, and motor overheating. If an automatic shut-off nozzle is required, use Graco part number 260082 (regular) or 260083 (unleaded) or Catlow, Inc. part number NCLF-1 (regular) or NCNLF-1 (unleaded).

Mounting Pump

CAUTION

•Ensure tank being used is clean and free of welding slag

•Ensure the tank is vented to allow air into the tank as the fuel is being pumped out. Failure to provide a vent will cause priming problems

1.Apply PTFE thread tape (provided with the pump) to large thread of bung adapter (9) (2 in. X 1 ½ in. reducer fitting). Install bung adapter to fuel tank.

2.Assemble suction tube sections by applying ¼ in. to ½ in. wide bead of PVC cement (PN: 260086; white tube provided with the pump) around the entire inside diameter of the coupler (see FIG. 1). While sliding the tube into the couplers turn the tube at least one full revolution until the tube bottoms out on the coupler (see FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4). This will allow the cement to coat the entire surface for the best possible seal. Allow cement to set for 5 min- utes minimum before installing pump into tank.

For tanks deeper than 36 in. (914 mm) you will need a standard 1 in. (25 mm) pipe with 1 in. npt

threads on one end. Suction tubes longer than 60 in. (1.52 m) require a foot valve (Graco Part No. 260217) at the bottom of the tube to prevent loss of prime.
