Installation
The oil transfer pumps are positive displace- ment pumps. The motors are drip proof rated at 3/4 hp. The motors have sealed bearings and require minimal maintenance. All models come with hose, nozzle, 34 in. (864 mm) suc- tion tube assembly, and bung adapter.
When unpacking check for shipping damage. Report any shipping damage to delivering car- rier immediately. See Parts, page 8.
Mounting Pump on Barrel or Tank
1.Install bung adapter (14) in barrel bung and tighten.
2.Assemble suction tube sections (18) by applying PVC cement (21) to the inside diameter of the PVC couplers (19, 20).
Make sure PVC cement is applied to the complete inside diameter and slide the pipe sections into the coupler with a twisting motion.
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. If pump- ing used oil, install suction screen assem- bly, Part No. 260306, to filter large contaminants.
For tanks less than 36 in. (914 mm) deep, cut the suction tube to leave about 2 in. (21
mm)of clearance between the bottom of the suction tube and the bottom of the tank.
3.Apply pipe sealant (not the supplied PVC cement) to the threaded end of the suction tube and then screw the tube into the pump inlet port. Make sure tube is tight.
4.Insert suction tube already attached to the pump through bung adapter and lower the pump onto the bung adapter. Position the pump as desired and tighten swivel nut to the bung adapter (14).
Mounting Hose and Nozzle
1.Before connecting hose to the pump, pour 8 oz (0.24 l) of oil in the pump outlet port so that the pump does not run dry during initial
2.Apply pipe sealant to male threads of the elbow (12) and screw the elbow into the outlet port.
3.Apply pipe sealant to one end of hose assembly (17) and screw hose end into the elbow (12).
4.Apply pipe sealant to other end of hose assembly and screw the nozzle (15, 16) onto the hose.
