2. Outlet Hose: Connect the 13 ft (4 m) rubber outlet hose to the pump's outlet. Secure the auto shut-off fuel nozzle to the other end of the outlet hose. Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks.

5.3 Electrical Connection

IMPORTANT: This pump does not come with a pre-wired plug. Electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Incorrect wiring can lead to electric shock, fire, or damage to the pump.

• Ensure the power source is 110-120V AC, 60Hz.
• Connect the pump's electrical wires to a suitable power cord using the provided wire terminals and junction box.
• Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
• The waterproof power switch should be easily accessible.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Pre-Operation Checks

• Confirm all hose connections are tight and free of leaks.
• Ensure the pump is securely mounted.

6.2 Fuel Transfer Process

1. Insert the auto shut-off fuel nozzle into the receiving tank's fill port.
2. Turn on the pump using the power switch. The pump will begin transferring fuel.
3. Monitor the fuel transfer. The auto shut-off nozzle is designed to stop the flow automatically when the receiving tank is full, preventing overfilling and spills.
4. Once the transfer is complete or the nozzle has shut off, turn off the pump using the power switch.
5. Carefully remove the nozzle from the receiving tank, allowing any residual fuel to drain.
