C AMBIENT CONDITIONS
TEMPERATURE: min.-10°C 14°F-max.60°C 140°F RELATIVE HUMIDITY: max. 90 %
WARNING: the above indicated temperature ranges are applicable to all components
of the pump and these limits must be respected in order to avoid any possible
damage or malfunctioning.

D OPERATING CYCLE
The pump has been designed for discontinuous use. Under conditions of high operating
pressures (eg. with closed or blocked outlet, excessive length of the delivery circuit and/or
excessive pressure due to accessories), it can be subjected to elevated stresses and
overheating and therefore should not be used for prolonged periods under such
conditions.

E APPLICATIONS
There are numerous fields of applications for the pump, however only exclusively with the
allowed liquids mentioned:

- transfer of diesel fuel between tanks, refuelling of tractors and earth moving equipment
- transfer of water
- transfer of light weight lube oils, antifreeze, etc.

TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING G

Due to limited weight and dimensions the pump does not require the use of any special
handling or lifting equipment. When handling manually, normal personal protective gear
should be worn (safety shoes with toe piece, etc.)
The pump is carefully packed prior to shipment. Upon receiving, the packaging should
be inspected for damages and the pump stored in a dry area.

INSTALLATION H

It is recommended that the use of the pump be according to normative safety standards
and also as per the precautions listed below.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS H-1

Check that there has been no damage to the pump during transportation or storage. Both
inlet and outlet ports should be carefully cleaned removing possible dust or residual
packaging material. Verify that the available electrical power supply corresponds to the
specification requirements.

POSITIONING H-2

The pump can be mounted in any position. Fix it utilizing suitable screws corresponding
to the antivibration mounts supplied.

3

 WARNING: THE MOTOR IS NOT EXPLOSION PROOF. Do not install the pump
where flammable vapours or gases may be present. Install it in an accessible place
for inspection.
The pump is IP55 protection rated. It is good practice to avoid any pump contact with water
splashes possibly causing water seepage into the motor with high risk of internal oxidation
and/or short circuit.

H-3 TUBING CONNECTIONS

- Prior to making any tube/hose connections, check that the inlet ports have no end caps;
- Do not position the pump at a height greater than 1,5m-4,9ft with respect to the minimum
level of the fluid to be transferred. Damage may occur if this height is exceeded as the
pump may not draw fluid. Make sure that the outlet tube is empty and without chokes;
- Avoid choking the inlet or outlet tubes so that efficiency is optimized. The use of an inlet
filter is mandatory especially with fluids containing impurities (ASTM mesh 35).
In this case frequent cleaning and maintenance of the filter is advisable. Utilize tubes
and connection pieces that are resistant to the fluid types handled and avoid any
possible environmental dispersion.

H-4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must include a protection fuse which is suitably rated as
indicated on the motor label and sized with reference to the chosen point of application.

WARRANTY EXPIRES IF NO FUSE IS UTILIZED

Always mount the anti vibration rubber fittings supplied with the pump kit. Their usage
ensures a consistent reduction in noise and vibration levels.
Electrical cabling size should depend on the distance between pump and battery power
supply.

Up to 4 m-13 ft length: AWG 16.

The use of undersized cabling can cause overheating of the electrical wiring and
subsequent fire hazard. There will also be a voltage drop at the motor terminals with a
consequent reduction in efficiency.
The flow rate value indicated on the motor label is obtained with a 13 mm-1/2 in, internal
tube diameter. Tubes with inferior diameters will cause an increase in current with potential
risk of motor overheating. On the outlet side it is advisable to use at least a short section
flexible tubing.

To ensure the correct directional flow of the fluid as indicated by the arrow on the top plate,
it is necessary to connect the positive pole ( + ) of the battery supply to the red wire on the
motor end-cap and the negative pole ( - ) to the black wire. Electrical connections must
be made using adequate terminal blocks and connectors ensuring a tight fitment of the
electrical cables. Bad wiring can cause power losses and/or overheating of the cabling
itself.
WARNING: it is the responsibility of the installation technician to ensure a
correctly designed circuit installation fitted according to ABYC regulations.
Environmental risks must be taken into account with the installation.

TROUBLESHOOTING I

CHECK POINTS IF THE PUMP HAS STOPPED OR WILL NOT START L-1
I-1

- Check the effectiveness of the battery power supply (voltage activity);

- Check if the fuse has blown;
- Check for any foreign matter present in-between the pump gear drives. To do this,
disconnect the power supply and unscrew the four fixing screws, remove the front cover
plate and inspect the chamber. Replace the cover plate in the same initial position
after inspection;
- Avoid running the pump dry for more than a few minutes. Pumps found defective that
have run dry in the absence of fluid are not covered by warranty;
- The average life span of the motor commutator brushes is approximately 1000 hours
under normal operating conditions. Stoppages are possible due to brush wear and tear
after such a time period.
WHY THE PUMP WILL NOT PRIME ITSELF? I-2

- The pump is fitted at a height greater than 1,5 m - 4,9 ft above the fluid level;
- The pump has run dry for too long a period;
- Long periods of inactivity. In this case it is advisable to add liquid directly into the
chamber before start-up. It is also advisable to add, before running the pump, a drop of
lubricating oil inside the pump only;
- Air leak at the suction pipe due to the following reasons:
possible cuts in the pipe, inadequate hose clamps, malfunctioning of the filter due to
defective/worn seals or filter clogged;
- Air leak at the front plate cover due to the following reasons:
Loose fixing screws, poor effectiveness of the seal;
- Faulty electrical cable connections;
- Presence of obstructions or restrictions in the suction or delivery pipes or the use of
special devices(eg. automatic spray pistol or aqua-stop);
- Presence of liquid loops in the outlet tube.
GOOD PRACTICES ENSURING A WELL FUNCTIONING PUMP I-3

No particular maintenance is required if the pump is utilized for the transfer of diesel fluids.
If it is expected that the pump will not be used for a period of at least 30 days, especially in
the case of usage with fresh or salty water, it is advisable to run fresh water through it
and to then loosen the front plate screws. Upon re-use, run the pump briefly (a few
seconds) and tighten the screws again. Check under conditions of maximum operating
pressure that the motor current value is within the motor label specifications.

 I-4 NORMAL MAINTENANCE

- Check frequently and keep the inlet filter clean;

- Check every month the chamber and keep clean from any foreign matter;
- Check every month that electrical wiring is in good condition;
- Every 1000 hours of pump operation substitute the motor brushes.

I-5 INDICATORS THAT THE PUMP IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY

- Temperature of body and motor frame is within 140°F-158°F;

- Regular flow and constant noise levels;
- Amp-draw within the limits indicated in the technical details.

I-6 TO OPEN THE PUMP

- It is recommended that a specialized service technician be consulted for any repair work
or the replacement of worn out internal components, exclusively with original spare parts;
- During the warranty period, only by authorized Marco S.p.A. personnel, failing which the
warranty will expire.

L ENVIRONMENTAL DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of pumps into household waste: pumps that are no longer usable, must
be collected separately and and disposed of in an enviromentally correct manner.

L-1 PACKAGING ENVIRONMENTAL DISPOSAL
