NOTE: When ready to sweep the tank, be sure to check all connections for leaks
and be prepared to shut down the sweeper in the event of a leak. Have your Emer-
gency Spill Kit available and in reach. It is best to have this operation performed
by two people--one operating the air supply and the other person doing the actual
sweeping of the tank.
4. When in the filtering mode and turning the air valve to the ON position, slowly lower
the fiber staff into the 55 Gallon drum following the fuel level watching the clear
hose for signs of black contamination. The contaminates will be settled in the last
few inches of the drum so when you get close to the bottom and as soon as you
see the color of the fuel change to dark, lift up the fiber staff and stop the transfer
operation. Dispose of the bottom of the tank with the contaminated fuel properly.
IF YOU WISH TO BLEND FUEL ADDITIVES OR FILTER THE OIL IN THE TANK:
1. While observing all safety precautions, turn the Sweeper ® to the Filter selection via
Main Ball Valve.
2. Insert Fiber staff into one hole at the top of the tank and insert the outlet hose into
another hole at the top of the tank.

3. Turn the air valve on and allow the fuel to circulate through the filters and back into
the tank. At this point you can turn the pressure up to maximum or 100 PSI to
achieve a 37GMP rate. With this rate, you can move 275 gallons of fuel oil through
the sweeper in several minutes. If there is a noticeable decrease in the fuel flow
rate, the problem may be clogged filters. If this is the case, replace filter cartridges
as necessary.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
8 FT. EXTENSION HOSE #9040-8EXT
1. To connect the 8ft. Extension Hose between the Sweeper
® and
the hose that you want to extend, take the male quick disconnect
of the 8ft. extension hose and put it into the desired female port
of the Sweeper.
2. Take the female end of the 8 ft. extension hose and attach it to
the male end of the hose you are extending.
3. To couple the male and female quick disconnects together, put
the male quick disconnect into the female quick disconnect.
4. Pull the levers on the side of the female end all the way down towards itself tight
against the side. Be sure to insert the cotter pins through the hole to lock the levers
in place.
NOTE: During the pump operation, excessive vibration has a tendency to vibrate
loose the coupling locking handles. Be certain to use the locking cotter pins.
