Dee Zee 137100-01 - Manual (Page 2)

Observe precautions against electrical shock when servicing the
pump. Always disconnect power before repairing or servicing.
Never apply electrical power to the system when any of the
coverplates are removed.
If using solvent to clean pump components or tank, observe the sol-
vent manufacturer’s recommendations for safe use and disposal.
This pump is designed to self-prime with dry gears.
Make sure all threaded fuel connections are wrapped with three
to four turns of Teflon ® tape or a pipe thread sealant approved
for use with petroleum fuels.
Clean and bond the suction pipe top and bottom as necessary.
Thread the suction pipe into the inlet fitting and tighten snugly.
Trim the suction pipe as necessary to leave approximately 1/2 in.
(1.2 cm) clearance from the bottom of the tank. Clean the tank
interior of all dirt and debris. Insert the suction pipe into the tank
opening. Tighten the pump into the tank opening until snug. Do
not cross thread.
Make sure the tank is vented. A vent cap rated at 3 psi or less is
recommended.
Install Electrical Connections
A grounding connection is provided. It is identified as a green
colored binding head screw in the electrical cavity. Connect these
pumps only to a 12-volt DC power source. Do not attempt connec-
tion to a 24-volt DC, 115-volt AC or 230-volt AC power source.
For installation in unclassified areas, the supplied power cord,
fuse and strain relief grip may be used.
NOTE: These components have not been evaluated as part of
the UL Listed Equipment and are not intended for use in a
Hazardous (Classified) Location.
To install the power cord, remove the electrical coverplate. If
necessary, trim the power cord to the desired length. Strip 3 to
4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) of outer insulation from the power cord
end. Then strip 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) of insulation from the power cord
wires. Slide the strain relief grip onto the power cord so that the
threaded end of the strain relief grip faces the stripped power cord
wires. Insert the power cord through the 1/2 inch NPT connection
on the back of the pump. Using wire nuts, connect black wire to
black and red wire to red in the pump’s electrical cavity. Position
the wires inside the electrical cavity and tighten the strain relief
grip securely. Make sure surfaces are clean. Install the coverplate
and tighten securely.
OPERATION
Install Hose and Nozzle
After sealing threads, tighten the hose into the pump outlet
and the nozzle on the hose. The nozzle can be placed in the
nozzle holder only when the pump is off.

Before each use, repair leaks around seals or connections. Make
sure hoses are in good condition and connections are tight. Make
sure the work area is dry. mAkE surE THE pump Is propErly
grouNDED. Repair any corroded or damaged wiring before use.
Ensure the tank contains enough fuel. Make sure the fuel is not
contaminated with debris. Tighten loose tank lids regularly.
To Dispense fuel
Turn on the pump by removing the nozzle from the holder and push-
ing up the switch lever. Insert the nozzle into the receiving tank and
squeeze the handle to start fuel flow. When done, release the nozzle
handle, turn the pump off, and return the nozzle to its holder.
This pump is designed to be self-priming. If fuel is not delivered
within 15 to 20 seconds, turn the pump off and refer to priming
information in the Troubleshooting Section.
An automatic bypass valve prevents pressure build up when the
pump is on with the nozzle closed. To avoid pump damage, do
not run the pump more than 5 minutes with the nozzle closed.
After running the pump for a maximum of 15 minutes, allow it to
cool for 30 minutes.
Auxiliary Temperature-limiting Device
The motor is provided with an internal auxiliary temperature-
limiting device. Excessive motor heat can trip the device. It resets
automatically after the motor has cooled.
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor bear-
ings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect the pump and
components regularly for fuel leaks and make sure the hose and
power cord are in good condition. Keep the pump exterior clean
to help identify leaks.
Do not use this pump for water, chemicals or herbicides. Dispens-
ing any fluid other than that listed in this manual will damage the
pump. Use of the pump with unauthorized fluids will void the
warranty.
If pump is to be installed in a Hazardous (Classified) location,
it must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to
National fire protection Association (NfpA) codes 30 and 70.
you as the owner, are responsible for seeing that the installa-
tion and operation of your pump complies with NfpA codes
as well as any applicable state and local codes. rigid conduit
must be used to install wiring. Note that the lead wires are
factory-sealed isolating the motor from the junction box.
failure to follow these wiring instructions may result in death
or serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.
INSTALLATION
Carefully route the power cord to the battery, protecting the
power cord from hot surfaces, sharp edges or anything that
could damage the power cord, resulting in a short circuit.
MAINTENANCE
A 20-amp fuse is provided to protect the motor and power
cord. Install fuse in the red wire of the power cord adjacent
to the battery. Connect the red wire of the fuse to the positive
(ungrounded) side of the battery. Connect black wire to the
negative (grounded) side of the battery.
