Owner's Operation & Safety Manual
Models FR300V, FR301V, FR310V & FR311V
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure safe and effi cient operation, it is essential to read
and follow each of these warnings and precautions.
1. Improper use or installation of this product can cause serious
bodily injury or death.
2. Do NOT smoke near pump or use pump near an open fl ame
when pumping fl ammable fl uids. Fire could result.
3. A Fill-Rite fi lter should be used on pump outlet to ensure that no
foreign material is transferred to fuel tank.
4. Use gasoline and oil resistant thread sealant or sealant tape on
all threaded joints to protect against leakage.
5. Storage tank should be anchored to prevent tipping in both the
full and empty conditions.
6. To minimize static electricity buildup, only use static wire,
conductive hose when pumping fl ammable fl uids and keep
nozzle in contact with container being fi lled.
7. The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection. If
overheated, it will shut off without any damage to the windings.
Be sure to turn off the pump power if this occurs. When the
motor cools, it will restart without warning if power is on.
8. Take motors needing service to an authorized repair shop to
maintain “explosion proof” and “rain proof” integrity.
DANGER
Electrical wiring should be done by a licensed electrician in compliance
with local, state and national electric code NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70,
NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump.
Threaded rigid conduit, seal fi ttings and conductor seal should be used.
Pump should be properly grounded. Improper use or installation of this
product can cause serious bodily injury or death.
DIRECT MOUNTING TO UNDERGROUND TANK
1. Cut and thread both ends of a 2" pipe that will extend about 31"
above the ground when installed in tank fl ange.
2. Install this pipe in tank fl ange. Screw 2" standard pipe coupling
onto top of pipe.
3. Cut a 1-1/4" pipe that will extend to at least 3" above bottom of
tank when screwed into tank adapter and tank adapter is
screwed into 2" coupling.
4. Screw this pipe into tank adapter, then screw tank adapter into
2" coupling.
5. Mount pump on tank adapter.
ISLAND INSTALLATION
1. Install tank and piping per illustration.
2. The threaded 1-1/4" suction pipe is to extend 32-1/2" above
island.
3. Remove coupler from pedestal pipe by loosening set screws.
4. Slip pedestal pipe/pump base assembly over suction pipe.
5. Loosen screws in pump base to allow pedestal pipe to slide
down exposing end of suction pipe.
6. Screw coupler onto suction pipe.
7. Slide pedestal pipe into coupler, tighten set screws. Tighten
screws in pump base.
8. Mount pump on coupler.
ELECTRICAL
Pump motor voltage is factory set at 115 VAC. See diagram to change
voltage setting.
1. Install pump. Read and understand all the electrical wiring
instructions before proceeding.
2. Remove pump's electrical junction box cover and straighten the
wires to make the stripped wire ends accessible outside of the
junction box.
WARNING: AUX. WIRE IS LIVE WIRE! The AUX. lead wire is
insulated and enclosed when shipped. Do not connect this wire
without fi rst verifying the 'ON' line voltage of the wire for
compatibility to the equipment to be installed. Maximum amperage
on wire is 1 ampere. The wire must be insulated and enclosed in
the junction box if not used.
3. Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated 30 amp
circuit breaker. No other equipment should be powered from this
breaker. Threaded rigid conduit, seal fi ttings and conductor seal
should be used. Provisions must be made to break both legs of
any AC circuit. Connect like colored pump wires to supply wires.
Ground wire must be connected.
4. Fold wires into junction box and replace cover making sure that
gasket is in place. Make sure screws are seated so there is no
space between the cover and the junction box.
WARNING
This product should not be used for fl uid transfer into aircraft. This
product is not suited for use with fl uids for human consumption or
fl uids containing water.
INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Pumps are furnished with a tank adapter for skid tank mounting;
pedestals are available for island installations. All tanks must be
properly vented. A pressure retaining vent/fi ll cap can be used to
reduce fuel loss due to evaporation but will reduce fl ow rate.
Fill-Rite fi lters are recommended when pumping fuels.
Pump has a built-in check valve with pressure relief to prevent fl uid
thermal expansion from causing unsafe system pressures. Do not use
additional check valves or foot valves unless they have a proper
pressure relief valve built into them. Additional check valves will
reduce fl ow rate.
Use a gasoline and oil resistant pipe sealant on all pipe threads to
protect against leaks.
SKID TANK MOUNTING
1. Cut a 1-1/4" pipe that will extend to at least 3" above bottom of
tank when screwed into tank adapter and tank adapter is
screwed into tank fl ange.
2. Screw pipe into tank adapter, then screw tank adapter into tank
fl ange.
3. Mount pump on tank adapter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Reset meter to 0 (if applicable).
2. Remove nozzle from nozzle boot and move switch lever up. This
will turn the pump on.
3. Insert nozzle into container to be fi lled. To minimize static
electricity buildup, keep nozzle in contact with container.
4. Operate nozzle lever to dispense fl uid.
5. When desired amount of fl uid has been dispensed, release
nozzle lever, remove nozzle from container, move switch lever
to down position to turn off pump, replace nozzle in boot.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF PUMP FAILS TO PRIME: Check suction line for leaks or
obstructions.
Check bypass valve for dirt. The bypass poppet should slide freely.
PUMP WILL NOT START: If motor hums but will not start, a probable
cause is a stuck rotor. Remove rotor cover; check rotor and vanes for
dirt. Also have an electrician check the electrical power to the pump.
LOW PUMPING CAPACITY: Strainer screen clogged; bypass valve
not seated properly; obstruction in suction lines. Make sure all 8
vanes slide easily in the rotor slots.

ANTI-SIPHON
The pumps are shipped with a threaded vacuum breaker installed.
Fill-Rite recommends that the vacuum breaker be tubed back to the
tank. The vacuum breaker is used to break a siphon should an open
nozzle or a leaking hose be below the fl uid level in the tank with the
pump turned off.
ANTI-SIPHON TUBING INSTALLATION
The following illustration shows methods of installing tubing for the
vacuum breaker that terminates in the vapor space at the top of the
tank. The tubing must terminate in the vapor space; if the tubing
terminates below the liquid level of the tank, the vacuum breaker will
not prevent siphoning. It is also very important that there are no liquid
traps in the tubing. The tubing must have a continuous slope from the
pump down to the tank. If the pump is installed below the top of the
tank, the tubing may slope both ways from a single high point above
the tank. Alternately, tubing can be piped to any available opening on
top of tank it the tank adapter is not used. Use reducer bushings as
required.
Fill-Rite recommends using the vacuum breaker tank adapter with a 1/4 npt
opening in the side of the hex portion that terminates in the vapor space of
the tank. Install tank adapter per instructions found in this manual. Make
liquid tight connection from the adapter to the vacuum breaker using a
minimum of 1/4 metal tubing compatible with the liquid being pumped. If a
vacuum breaker tank adapter is used and the 1/4 npt opening is not used for
the tubing, plug the opening liquid tight.
