Installation

Maximum Working Pressure of Accessories
To reduce the risk of serious injury including fluid
injection and splashing in the eyes or on the skin,
which may be caused by component ruptures, all
accessories added to the reciprocator power supply
side of the pump fluid outlet side must have at least a
1500 psi (10 MPa, 103 bar) maximum working
pressure.

Pump Accessories

Suction Tube Kit: A suction tube kit is available for
siphoning from 55 gallon containers.
Intake Tube: To install, apply PTFE tape to the female
threads at the top of the tube (Q). Screw the tube tightly
into the intake housing of the stubby pump.
Low-Level Cutoff Valve: To install, screw the low-level
cutoff valve into the bottom of the pump intake tube or
the suction tube. This valve closes the pump intake
when the fluid level is low, causing the pump to stall to
avoid running all day.
Pump Outlet Drain Valve: Install a drain valve (D) close
to the pump fluid outlet assist in relieving fluid pressure
in the pump, hose, and dispense valve when the pump
is shut off.
Thermal Relief Kit: Install a Thermal Relief Kit (T) at the
pump fluid outlet.

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp. Remove the
ground screw (Z) and insert through the eye of the ring
terminal at end of ground wire (Y). Fasten the ground
screw back onto the pump and tighten securely.
Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth
ground. (F
