PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Self-priming electric pump for the transfer of liquids of varied nature (see exception) for
discontinuous or intermittent usage.
The pumping element is made up of acetalic (POM) sliding vanes rotor which can possibly
even run dry for brief periods. Completely equipped with filter on the inlet side.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
APPLICATIONS
There are numerous fields of applications for the pump, however only exclusively with the
allowed liquids mentioned:
Ø transfer of diesel fuel between tanks, refuelling of tractors and earth moving
equipment
Ø transfer of water
Ø transfer of light weight lube oils, antifreeze, etc.

AMBIENT CONDITIONS
TEMPERATURE: RELATIVE HUMIDITY:min.-10°C 14°F-max.60°C 140°F max. 90 %
OPERATING CYCLE
The pump has been designed for discontinuous use. Under conditions of high operating
pressures (eg. with closed or blocked outlet, excessive length of the delivery circuit and/or
excessive pressure due to accessories), it can be subjected to elevated stresses and
overheating and therefore should not be used for prolonged periods under such conditions.
Due to limited weight and dimensions the pump does not require the use of any special
handling or lifting equipment. When handling manually, normal personal protective gear
should be worn (safety shoes with toe piece, etc.). The pump is carefully packed prior to
shipment. Upon receiving, the packaging should be inspected for damages and the pump
stored in a dry area.
It is recommended that the use of the pump be according to normative safety standards
and also as per the precautions listed below.
The pump can be mounted in any position. Fix the pump utilizing suitable diameter
screws corresponding to the holes.
Check that there has been no damage to the pump during transportation or storage. Both
inlet and outlet ports should be carefully cleaned removing possible dust or residual
packaging material. Verify that the available electrical power supply corresponds to the
specification requirements.
WARNING: the above indicated temperature ranges are applicable to all components
of the pump and these limits must be respected in order to avoid any possible damage
or malfunctioning.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
TUBING CONNECTIONS
The electrical installation of the pump must include a protection fuse which is suitably rated
as indicated on the motor label.
Electrical cabling size should depend on the distance between pump and battery power
supply (see Tab.1 EN). The use of undersized cabling can cause overheating of the electrical
wiring and subsequent fire hazard. There will also be a voltage drop at the motor terminals
with a consequent reduction in efficiency. The flow rate value indicated on the motor label is
obtained with internal tube diameter indicated on Tab.1 EN. Tubes with inferior diameters will
cause an increase in current with potential risk of motor overheating.
WARRANTY EXPIRES IF NO FUSE IS UTILIZED
WARNING: THE PUMP MOTOR IS NOT EXPLOSION PROOF.
Do not install the pump where flammable vapours or gases may be present. Install the
pump in an accessible place for inspection. It is good practice to avoid any pump
contact with water splashes possibly causing water seepage into the motor with high
risk of internal oxidation and/or short circuit.
It is the responsibility of the installation technician to ensure a correctly designed circuit
installation fitted according to regulations. Environmental risks must be taken into
account with the installation.
Ø
Ø
Ø
Prior to making any tube/hose connections, check that the inlet ports have no end
caps;
Do not position the pump at a excessive height with respect to the minimum level of
the fluid to be transferred. Damage may occur if this height is exceeded as the pump
may not draw fluid. Make sure that the outlet tube is empty and without chokes;
Avoid choking the inlet or outlet tubes so that efficiency is optimized.
The use of an inlet filter is recommended especially with fluids containing impurities
(mesh ASTM no. 35).
Utilize tubes and connection pieces that are resistant to the fluid types handled and
avoid any possible environmental dispersion.
Ø
Ø
In this case frequent cleaning and maintenance of the filter is
advisable. The standard filter withstands a maximum positive pressure of 0.5 bar.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WHY THE PUMP WILL NOT PRIME ITSELF?
CHECK POINTS IF THE PUMP HAS STOPPED OR WILL NOT START
GOOD PRACTICES ENSURING A WELL FUNCTIONING PUMP
Ø
Ø
Ø
Ø
Check the effectiveness of the battery power supply (voltage activity);
Check if the fuse has blown;
Check for any foreign matter present in the pump body. To do this, disconnect the
power supply and unscrew the four fixing screws, remove the front cover plate and
inspect the chamber. Replace the cover plate in the same initial position after
inspection;
Avoid running the pump dry for more than a few minutes. Pumps found defective
that have run dry in the absence of fluid are not covered by warranty.
If it is expected that the pump will not be used for a period of at least 30 days, especially in the
case of usage with water, it is advisable to run fresh water through it and to then loosen the
front plate screws. Upon re-use, run the pump briefly (a few seconds) and tighten the screws
again. Check under conditions of maximum operating pressure that the motor current value
is within the motor label specifications.

The pump has run dry for too long a period
Long periods of inactivity. In this case it is advisable to add liquid directly into the
chamber before start-up
Air leak at the suction pipe due to the following reasons, possible cuts in the pipe,
inadequate hose clamps, malfunctioning of the filter due to defective/worn seals or
filter clogged
Air leak at the front plate cover due to the following reasons, loose fixing screws,
poor effectiveness of the seal
Faulty electrical cable connections
Presence of obstructions or restrictions in the suction or delivery pipes or the use of
special devices(eg. automatic spray pistol or aqua-stop)
Presence of liquid loops in the outlet tube
