EZ-8 Fuel Pump
GENERAL INFORMATION
These instructions will help you operate and maintain your pump.
This owner’s manual covers the EZ-8, 12-Volt electric gear pump
with manual nozzle.
Do not leave the system running without fluids. “Dry running” can
damage the pump. If the system fails to deliver fuel after 15 to
20 seconds, turn the system off and refer to the Troubleshooting
Section.
Do not pump the tank completely dry, as contaminants from the
bottom of the tank may enter the pump.
Observe all safety precautions concerning safe handling of pe-
troleum fuels.
To ensure safe operation, all fuel transfer systems must be properly
grounded. Proper grounding means a continuous metal-to-metal
contact from one component to the next, including tank, bung,
pump, meter, filter, hose, and nozzle. Care should be taken to
ensure proper grounding during initial installation and after any
service or repair procedures. For your safety, please take a mo-
ment to review the warnings below.
To prevent physical injury, observe precautions against fire or
explosion when dispensing fuel. Do not operate the system in
the presence of any source of ignition including running or hot
engines, lighted cigarettes, or gas or electric heaters.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when operating the
system. Serious or fatal shock can result from operating electrical
equipment in damp or wet locations.
Inspect external pump wiring regularly to make sure it is correctly
attached to the battery. To avoid electrical shock, use extra care
when connecting the pump to power.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum fuels. Use protective
goggles, gloves, and aprons in case of splashing or spills. Change
saturated clothing and wash skin promptly with soap and water.
SAVE THIS OWNER’S MANUAL
Notice: This pump is not intended
to be used with an automatic nozzle.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure build up when the
pump is on with the nozzle closed. To avoid motor damage, do
not run the pump more than 5 minutes with the nozzle closed.
The rated duty cycle of this pump is 15 minutes ON and 30 minutes
OFF. Allow the pump to cool for 30 minutes.
This pump is designed for use
only with gasoline (up to 15% alcohol
blends such as E15), diesel fuel (up to 20% biodiesel blends such
as B20) and kerosene. Do not use this pump for dispensing any
fluids other than those for which it was designed. To do so may
damage pump components and will void the warranty.
This pump is designed to operate on a typical 12-volt DC auto-
motive electrical system. The pump is designed to operate with
12-volts DC at the motor leads and the ratings are determined at
this voltage. Performance may vary due to length of power cord,
battery condition or output from vehicle charging system that will
affect system voltage.
