4. SET UP AND OPERATION
fig.1
The drainer 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.
Connect the earth bonding straps.
Ensure each strap is tightly connected to the unit. Attach the crocodile clip from one strap to the vehicle's chassis, away from any
potential fuel vapour, and the crocodile clip from the other strap to a suitable earthing point.
4.2.
IMPORTANT. The TP200.V3 is fitted with an overflow hose system to prevent spillage in situations where the fuel tank
capacity is greater than the capacity of the unit. Before drainage takes place the overflow hose must be placed into the
neck of the vehicle's fuel tank and the overflow valve (fig.2) must be opened by turning it to the vertical position. 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 tank, and shut the unit down when it is full.
4.3.
Carburettor engine vehicles. Fuel can be transferred from carburettor engined vehicles through the carburettor's fuel inlet pipe.
If this is necessary, use one of the six adaptors supplied. See type 'A' above and fig.3A. Choose the correct diameter adaptor for the
fuel line in question.
4.3.1.
Screw the adaptor and washer into the quick coupling adaptor (fig.1) and then connect that into the end of the adaptor hose.
4.3.2.
Plug the male fitting on the other end of the adaptor hose into the quick connector on the end of the main hose. See above.
4.3.3.
Plug the male fitting on the other end of the main hose into the quick connector on the filter. See above.
