VOLT METER PEGGED
+ or -.
SLOW OUTPUT.
Battery low or dead, bad battery
connections, broken wires or wire.
Sear chip broken.
Inlet suction hose is not in transfer fluid.
Battery wiring backward.
Filter swelling because of water in
fuel.
After extended use, the pump
incorporates a thermal shutdown
to protect the motor.
Improper battery wiring.
Clogged filter.
Hoses clogged.
Battery voltage low.
Repair broken or poor connections as
required.
Check wiring behind face plate and
connections to the AMP meter and volt
meter.
The sear chip is located under the 4-bolt
end plate on end of pump. The sear chip
connects the motor to the rotor and is
made of a plastic material. If the pump
assembly jams the sear chip will break
before damaging the pump. Replace sear
chip as necessary.
Check fluid level.
Check for correct wiring.
Replace filter.
Allow pump to cool and restart the
pump. (This is a normal safety device)
Check and be sure batteries are connected
in “Parallel”. (Fig. 1)
Change the filter.
Check hoses for blockages.
Check battery voltage or re-charge battery.
10. TROUBLESHOOTING
The DTP20 is powered by 12 Volts DC. The cart is capable of utilizing two 12
Volt batteries for extended use. Before the pump is turned on, be sure it is wired
correctly. It is very important that if two batteries are used and they are
connected together in “parallel” configuration, the final voltage should be 12
Volts. If the batteries are wired in series, you will send 24 Volts to the pump and
will burn up the pump. After connecting, look at the volt meter and verify that it
reads in a 12 Volt range.
9. EXTENSION HOSE (OPTIONAL)
An additional 12 ft. extension hose is available to be connected to the output
side of the transfer pump. The extension hose comes with “quick disconnect”
hardware and can be connected to extend the overall reach of the DTP20 Series.
Extension hoses should never be added to the intake side. Doing so will render
the pump ineffective, damage it and void the warranty. Be sure to pin adapters
shut to prevent spillage. Thoroughly drain hose before removing extension.
