SWITCH LEVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The fuel transfer pump on/off switch lever will need to be
installed in the field. Please see Diagram 4 for a visual
guide on the proper installation of this lever.
ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
20 amp fuse within the circuit to prevent against electrical shorts. Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on
the distance from the battery to the pump and the gauge of the wire used. If the distance is greater than the
supplied 15' 14 AWG power cable*, refer to local, state, and national electrical codes to ensure the wire is of the
correct size for this application.
*14 AWG cable not supplied with pump only models
a Fill-Rite fuel transfer pump. 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. 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.

Electrical wiring should ONLY be performed by a licensed electrician in
compliance with all local, state, and national electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/

Do not connect the positive or negative power to the green ground/earth screw
or ground/earth wire as this could cause a fire. Do not attempt to power the
