1. SAFETY
Petrol is a highly flammable liquid and any spillage will evaporate to form a flammable, heavier than air vapour which is easily ignited.
Common ignition sources include, but are not limited to, smoking and lit matches, welding and cutting equipment, heaters, all types of
electrical equipment unless specifically designed as suitable for use in flammable atmosphere. Even low voltage inspection lamps, if
damaged, can ignite petrol vapour
Please take time to read the following safety information before commencing work with the TP201.
Use the drainer only for its intended purpose.
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and potential hazards of this product.
Use original Sealey spare parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
We recommend that the TP201 is used outdoors or in a well ventilated area, and well away from pits or other openings in the ground
where vapour can collect.
Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before draining fuel.
Keep a foam or dry powder fire extinguisher nearby.
Ensure containers cannot easily be knocked over during filling.
Ensure the drainer tank is large enough to hold the contents of the fuel tank being drained.
Ensure space required for use and maintenance of the drainer is adequate, free from unrelated materials and has good lighting.
Attach earth lead to the fuel container using the crocodile clip supplied.
Always use the earth bonding straps by connecting one to the vehicle chassis, away from any potential fuel vapour, and the other to a
suitable earthing point.
Remove all combustible materials from the work area.
Use only containers rated for the fuel being drained. Ensure that the container mouth is as narrow as possible while still allowing insertion
of the drain hose.
HSE guidance recommends use of metal containers with secure caps for holding drained fuel.
Mark fuel containers with hazard labels to show their contents.
Keep any fuel containers in a well ventilated, lockable store, preferably outside the working area.
Soak up any spills immediately using absorbent granules or similar material.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area, especially when the drainer is in operation.
Maintain the drainer in top condition. Keep it clean for best and safest performance.
Follow the same precautions when transferring fuel from the drainer back into the vehicle or into any other container.
DO NOT use this drainer for anything other than its intended purpose. The TP201 is only to be used for pumping fuel from diesel or petrol
vehicles.
DO NOT work on a fuel tank or remove a sender unit before draining the fuel.
DO NOT use an open flame or smoke anywhere near the drainer or around stored fuel.
DO NOT drain fuel into open-topped containers such as buckets and watering cans.
DO NOT drain fuel into dedicated workshop oil drain equipment.
DO NOT drain fuel into plastic containers except for quantities less than 10 litres.
DO NOT allow work which can produce a source of ignition, such as welding, electrical or other hot work, to be carried out while draining
petrol.
DO NOT drain fuel over, or close to, a pit or drain because of the risk of flammable vapour accumulation.
DO NOT use any electrical equipment on or near the vehicle while fuel draining is in progress. This includes the use of inspection lights,
cordless/mobile phones or pagers.
DO NOT store drained or contaminated fuel in the workplace unless it is to be returned to the vehicle immediately.
DO NOT add drained fuel to the waste oil tank.
DO NOT wear clothing on which petrol has been spilt - stop work and change into uncontaminated clothing before continuing to work.
DO NOT use the drainer if the pump is damaged in any way.
DO NOT leave the unit running unattended.
DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicating medication, or if you are fatigued.
DO NOT use the drainer for a job it was not designed to do.
DO NOT tamper with the safety valve fitted to the tank.
Users/Businesses should perform their own hazard risk assessment based on their specific environment and
following the guidelines laid out above.

4. OPERATION
The TP201 is only to be used for pumping fuel from either a diesel or petrol vehicle. Any other use can be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty. The unit should be reserved for only one type of fuel. Do not mix different fuels in the unit unless the unit is being used to drain a tank
where fuels have been inadvertently mixed, in which case the unit should be reserved exclusively for this purpose. Bring the unit near the vehicle
when ready to begin transferring fuel. Draining can be carried out in different ways depending on the vehicle’s configuration. Before beginning the
draining process, ensure you have read and understood the safety warnings and guidelines listed in Section 1 of these instructions.

4.1. Assemble Handle. Remove the screws from the tubular handle supports and insert the ends of the handle into the two short
lengths of tube. See fig.2. Align the threaded holes in the handle with the two holes in each support tube and secure each side with
the two screws previously removed.
4.2. Earth Bonding Straps. Attach one clamp on each earth bonding strap to a suitable point on the unit ensuring that it has metal to
metal contract and is secure. Attach the clamp from one strap to the vehicle’s chassis, away from any potential fuel vapour, and the
clamp from the other strap to a suitable earthing point. When the bonding straps are not being used wrap the wires around the
black cable tidies attached to the handle.
WARNING: The operator must not leave the unit unattended during draining and should observe the fuel level in the sight tube on the
side of the TP201 tank and shut the unit down when it is full.
