6. Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup of your fuel pump:
- Unpack: Remove all components from the packaging.
- Inspect: Check the pump and all accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Attach Hose Adaptors: Securely attach the two hose adaptors to the inlet and outlet ports of the pump. Use the provided sealing tape on the threads to ensure a leak-proof connection.
- Install Filter: Connect the plastic oil filter to the inlet hose adaptor. This filter helps prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Secure Hoses: Attach your fuel hoses (not included) to the hose adaptors using the provided clips to ensure a tight and secure connection.
- Placement: Place the pump on a stable, level surface. The built-in base allows for direct fixation if desired. Ensure the pump is positioned in a well-ventilated area, away from any ignition sources.
- Power Connection: Connect the pump's power cord to a grounded 110V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is suitable for outdoor use if operating outdoors.
7. Operating Instructions
Once set up, follow these steps to operate your TOPWAY fuel pump:
- Prepare: Ensure the inlet hose is fully submerged in the fuel source and the outlet hose is directed into the receiving container.
- Power On: Flip the explosion-proof switch to the 'ON' position. The pump will begin to operate.
- Monitor Flow: The pump is self-priming. Allow a few moments for the pump to prime and begin transferring fuel. Monitor the flow rate and ensure there are no leaks.
- Transfer Fuel: Continue pumping until the desired amount of fuel has been transferred or the source tank is empty.
- Power Off: Once transfer is complete, flip the switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the hoses, ensuring any residual fuel is contained.
