Owner's Operation & Safety Manual
Models FR700V, FR701V
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure safe and efficient 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 flame
when pumping flammable fluids. Fire could result.
3. A Fill-Rite filter 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 flammable fluids and keep
nozzle in contact with container being filled.
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 fittings 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.
WARNING
This product should not be used for fluid transfer into aircraft. This
product is not suited for use with fluids for human consumption or
fluids 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/fill cap can be used to
reduce fuel loss due to evaporation but will reduce flow rate.
Fill-Rite filters are recommended when pumping fuels.
Pump has a built-in check valve with pressure relief to prevent fluid
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.
check valves will reduce flow 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 flange.
2. Screw pipe into tank adapter, then screw tank adapter into tank
flange.
3. Mount pump on tank adapter.
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 flange.
2. Install this pipe in tank flange. 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
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 first 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 20 amp
circuit breaker. No other equipment should be powered from this
breaker. Threaded rigid conduit, seal fittings 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.
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 filled. To minimize static
electricity buildup, keep nozzle in contact with container.
4. Operate nozzle lever to dispense fluid.
5. When desired amount of fluid 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.
Additional
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.
