Mounting Foot and Nozzle Boot Installation

The mounting foot is bolted to the bottom of the pump using the two supplied
socket head cap screws. Mount the foot with the longest side facing the front
of the pump as illustrated. Torque to 50 in/lbs with 4 mm hex key. In bung
mount applications a nozzle boot can be attached to the pump mounting foot
for nozzle storage.
• Insert the two - 5mm socket head cap screws through the nozzle boot.
• Thread the clinch nuts partially onto the 5mm socket head cap screws.
• Insert the nut/screw assembly through slotted openings in the pump foot.
• Slide the assembly into the narrow end of the slots.
• Use a 4mm hex head key to tighten the nozzle boot into place.

Suction Hose Configuration

Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the
possibility of leaks. Leaks create the potential for fire or explosion.
1. Select chemically compatible inlet and outlet hoses that contain a
static discharge wire, are for use with flammable liquids, and are
rated to at least 50 psi.
2. Reconfigure inlet and outlet flanges if necessary (optional). See
instructions on page 6.
3. Use a conductive nozzle or valve at the end of the discharge hose
that can be shut off tightly to prevent accidental siphoning when the
pump is not in use.
4. NOTE: If pumping from a metal container, the metal end of suction
hose MUST be in contact with the metal container for electrical
continuity.

Fueling Safety

Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere. It is CRITICAL that all possible sources of ignition be removed to
a safe distance or extinguished. Sources of ignition would include (but not be limited to) open flames, cigarettes, static discharge, or
electrical connections that can create a spark. Explosion, fire, and severe injury or death will occur if the explosive vapors are ignited.
Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere around
the tank that is being filled. To avoid possible explosion of accumulated
vapors, it is critical to keep possible sources of spark / ignition at safe
distances from the fuel vapors. The accompanying diagram shows
minimum safe distances for safe fueling. 10' is the minimum safe
distance between:
• Power source and fuel supply
• Power source and tank being filled
• Power source and pump
