Safety Information

To ensure a safe installation and proper equipment operation, please read, understand, and adhere to all DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION and other NOTICES.
Never smoke around or near a fuel tank or transfer pump. Open flames or a spark when pumping a flammable liquid will
result in a fire. Improper electrical wiring or installation will result in serious injury or death.
Electrical wiring should ONLY be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all local, state, and
national electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and NFPA 70) as appropriate for the intended use of a
Fill-Rite fuel transfer pump.
Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used where applicable and as defined by
these codes.
This product must be properly bonded or grounded to avoid the build up of static electricity when handling flammable
products. Static discharge may ignite vapors causing serious injury or death.
Fill-Rite pumps are not suited for use with water or fluids intended for human consumption. Do not use to fuel aircrafts.
To minimize static electricity build up, keep the nozzle in contact with the container being filled at all times during the
filling process. Use only static wire conductive hose when pumping flammable liquid.
Improper mechanical installation or use can result in serious injury or death.
Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to prevent leaks.
All Fill-Rite pump models are equipped with thermal overload protection by which the motor will shut off to prevent heat
damage. If motor is turned off by a thermal overload, turn the switch lever to the OFF position. Once the motor has cooled
sufficiently, turn the switch lever to the ON position to resume fuel transfer.
Some Fill-Rite models will restart automatically if the switch lever is not in the OFF position once the thermal protector
resets. As good practice, always place the switch lever in the OFF position when the motor overheats.
A filter should be used on the pump outlet to avoid contamination into the vehicle or equipment's fuel tank.
We recommend Fill-Rite filters for best results.
To prevent fuel storage tanks from shifting or tipping, refer to tank manufacturer's guidelines on proper anchoring.
