IPA Tools DTP20C Mobile Fuel Transfer Station - Manual (Page 2)

1. BATTERY INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BATTERY, BE CERTAIN TO COMPLETELY
CLEAN ANY FUEL OIL IN THE BATTERY AREA. AVOID ARCING!
TO REMOVE THE BATTERY PROTECTION COVER: Remove the screws
and slide the plate out towards the back. Then install two well-charged
Group 31, 12 Volt Batteries. One well-charged Group 31 Battery can last
up to four hours and eight hours with two batteries. When installing
batteries, keep in mind that only proper parallel wiring polarity produces
12 Volts (See Fig. 1). DO NOT WIRE BATTERIES IN SERIES AS THIS
BRINGS THE POWER UP TO 24 VOLTS, DAMAGE THE UNIT AND
POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. THIS VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
After proper installation of batteries, check the volt meter for correct 12 Volt
indication. Slide the battery protection cover back over the batteries and
reinsert the screws. Be careful not to touch the battery terminals with the metal
cover; you could create a spark and ignite any nearby fuel or oil.

CORRECT BATTERY INSTALLATION:
WARNING: FOR SAFE INSTALLATION, CONNECT 12 VOLT BATTERIES IN PARALLEL
WITH POSITIVE TO POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE. ANY OTHER CONFIGU-
RATION IS INCORRECT AND WILL DAMAGE THE PUMP AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
• DO NOT TRANSFER GASOLINE: Although the DTP20 DC powered transfer pump
can transfer gasoline and no damage will occur to the pump, it is NOT recom-
mended. Because of the DC application of the fuel transfer cart, there is a
potential danger of battery sparks igniting gasoline that may have spilled or
collected on the cart from prior use. One gallon of gasoline is equivalent to
three sticks of dynamite and the possibility of great harm or bodily injury
exists if ignited. Please also be careful in calm or dry climate as this increases
the risk of static. ALWAYS USE THE GROUND WIRE PROVIDED.
• THE DTP20 IS RECOMMENDED FOR TRANSFERRING OF THE FOLLOWING FLUIDS:
Diesel, Kerosene, Heptanes, Mineral Spirits and Hexane.
• NO SMOKING or any type of ignition. No exceptions.
