GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in installing,
operating and maintaining your GPI Oil Pump. This pump
is a positive displacement, direct drive pump.
Models L 5116 and L 5132 are wired for 115-volts only,
however these motors have the capability to run on
230-volts if properly wired by an Electrician (see the label
on the motor for specications). GPI does not supply any
wiring items or hookup connectors for the 230 voltage.
Rewiring for 230-volts is the risk and responsibility of the
buyer/owner and user. GPI is not liable for any damage
or accidents caused by rewiring.
Both the 12-volt DC and the 115-/230-volt AC pump are
compatible with motor oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, antifreeze
(not to exceed 50% water), ATF and waste oil. Do not
use this pump for dispensing any uids other than those
for which it was designed. To do so may damage pump
components and will void the warranty.
Do not use the GPI Oil pump with water, acids, brake
uid or windshield washer uid.
If in doubt about compatibility of a specic uid, contact
the supplier of the uid to check for chemical compat-
ibility with:
• Aluminum • Stainless Steel
• Brass • Steel
• Nitrile Rubber • Zinc Plated Steel
Do not leave the system running without uids. “Dry running” can damage the pump.
Do not pump the tank completely dry, as contaminants
from the bottom of the tank may enter the pump.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety alert symbols are used in
this manual.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
DANGER indicates an
imminently hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING indicates
a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates
a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
It is your responsibility to:
• know and follow applicable national, state and local
safety codes pertaining to installing and operating
electrical equipment for use with petroleum uids.
• ensure that all equipment operators have access to
adequate instructions concerning safe operating and
maintenance procedures.
Observe all safety precautions concerning safe handling
of petroleum uids. Do not use pump with low ash point
uids (100° F or less).
To ensure safe operation, this pump must be properly
grounded. Care should be taken to ensure proper grounding during initial installation and after any service or repair
procedures. For your safety, please take a moment to
review the warnings below.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when operating the system. Serious or fatal shock can result from
operating electrical equipment in damp or wet locations.
On 12-volt pumps, 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.
WARNING
GPI recommends installing only one pump per
battery. Using more than one pump on the same
battery could create a hazardous situation in a
fault condition. As an option, use an appropriate
selector switch that allows only one pump to be
run at a time.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum uids. Use
protective goggles, gloves and aprons in case of splashing or spills. Change saturated clothing and wash skin
promptly with soap and water.
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 solvent manufacturer’s recommendations for
safe use and disposal.
The 115-/230-volt AC pump motors are equipped with
thermal overload protection. If overheated, the pump will
shut itself off. Turn off the pump if this occurs. See Motor
Protector Section for details.
Worn and damaged hoses or nozzles are potential safety
hazards and should be replaced.
INSTALLATION
Make sure all threaded connections are wrapped with
three to four turns of oil resistant thread tape or pipe
thread sealant.
Make sure drums are properly secured to prevent tip over
when full or empty. All tanks must be properly vented.

Installing Pump to a Tank
GPI pumps have a 2-inch NPT connection that can be
mounted directly to a 2-inch female pipe thread on the tank.
1. Clean the tank interior of all dirt and foreign material.
2. Glue sections of suction pipe together and cut it to
the proper length that is required. Suction pipe should
extend 2 to 3 inches above bottom of tank.
3. Screw suction pipe into inlet threads of pump base.
4. Insert the suction pipe through the tank bung. Screw
pump into tank bung to secure the pump to the tank.

5. To prevent pressure buildup and possible leaks through
the ball valve, make sure the tank is vented.
Installing Discharge Plumbing on
Pump Outlet
1. Install a 90 degree elbow to the pump outlet using oil
resistant pipe sealant.
2. Install the hose and ball valve using oil resistant pipe
sealant on the threads. Tighten securely.
Electrical Installation
WARNING
Electrical wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Shut
off all power before connecting wires to motor. Failure to follow
these wiring instructions may result in death or serious injury from
shock, re or explosion.
115-/230-volt AC Powered Pumps
(Models L 5116 & L 5132):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 115-volt AC. These
motors have the capability to run on 230-volts if properly
wired by an electrician. Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated circuit breaker.
If AC extension cords are used, they must be capable of
safely carrying the rated motor current. Use only heavy
duty, 3-wire, grounded extension cords.
NOTE: Many building codes require Ground Fault Circuit
interrupt (GFCI) protection.
Motor Ratings (FLA):
115-/230-volt AC:
1/2 HP, 1725 RPM – 7.5/ 3.7 amps
1 HP, 3450 RPM – 13.3/ 6.6 amps
12-volt DC:
1/2 HP, 1800 RPM – 40 amps
12-volt DC Powered Pumps (Model L 5016):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 12-volt DC. Circuit
must be protected with a 50 amp automotive-type fuse
(not supplied).
The power cord is not supplied with the pump. GPI recommends a minimum power cord of 10/3 AWG. Do not
exceed 15 feet of cord.
OPERATION
CAUTION
Do not operate pump dry. Damage to pump could occur.
Before rst usage, pour oil into pump outlet port to coat
pumping element.
1. Place ball valve into the receiving tank to be lled.
2. Turn on the motor.
3. Open the ball valve and ll the container to the desired
level. If ow does not occur within 15 seconds, shut
off motor and refer to the priming information in the
Troubleshooting Section.
4. Shut off the nozzle.
5. Turn off the motor.
Motor Protector
The AC pumps contain thermal motor protection. If the
pump overheats the unit will shutoff.
If the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:
Model L 5132: Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to
cool before restarting.
Model L 5116: Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to cool.
Push the button to manually reset the protector.
Model L 5016: The 12-volt model should be protected by
an inline fuse (not supplied). If the motor shuts
off, check the fuse.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power and relieve pressure in the system by
opening the nozzle before servicing the pump.
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor
bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect
the pump and components regularly for leaks and make
sure the hose, ball valve and components are in good
condition.
Use of the pump with unauthorized uids will void the
warranty.
Remove and clean the strainer if low ow is noticed.
To clean the strainer, remove the three screws on the
strainer cover. Remove cover and pull out screen. Clean
screen and reinstall. Care should be taken not to damage the O-ring.
