1. Remove the knurled bung adapter (5) and
the bung gasket (2) from the bung adaptor
base assembly and install it onto the 200-liter
(55-gallon) drum.
2. Tighten 1/4 turn past hand-tight to ensure that
the bung gasket (2) engages the drum cover.
3. If an air-tight seal is required, place the white
foam gasket (9) in the recess on top of the bung
adaptor (8).
4. Loosely attach the pump to the mounting plate
with the 4 washers (4) and 4 screws (1) provided.
5. Apply sealant to the threads of the suction tube
(101).
6. Insert the threaded end of the suction tube (101)
through the bottom of the bung adaptor base
assembly and tighten it into the inlet manifold of
the pump.
7. Tighten the 4 screws (1) that attach the pump to
the mounting plate (7).
8. Insert the assembly into the drum through the
bung adaptor (5) installed on the drum.
When mounting the stainless steel pump,
ensure that the offset mounting plate (7) is
positioned so that the pump is mounted over
the drum to prevent tipping when the fluid level
in the drum is low.
These units should be used only
positioned on flat, level surface. Uneven or
slanted surfaces could cause the drum to tip
over.
Do not relocate a drum with the unit mounted
in the bung hole. When the unit is mounted,
the center of gravity is too high for stability
when moving the drum.

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE
The bung adaptor (8) has 63 mm (2.5 in) of
adjustment to accommodate slight variances
in drum size. To ensure that the bung adaptor
does not come out of the retainer, do not allow
the bottom of the larger diameter of the bung
adaptor to extend more than 63 mm (2.5 in)
from the retainer (6).
9. Tighten the retainer (6) 1/4 turn past hand-tight
to ensure the PTFE o-ring (3) seals against the
bung adaptor base assembly.
10. Ground the pump and the system. Refer to
instruction manual 819.6900.
11. Follow the installation procedure in instruction
manual 819.6900 to complete the installation of
the air and fluid lines to and from the pump.
12. Open the second hole in the drum cover to
introduce make-up air or inert gas. The bung
adaptor and bung adaptor base seal against the
drum. Failure to provide make-up air or inert gas
could cause the drum to collapse. If necessary,
take applicable steps to ensure the make-up air
is dry and that dangerous gases do not escape
from the drum.
13. To operate the pump, follow the procedures in
instruction manual 819.6900.
