INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Coverplates protect the operator from moving parts. Never
operate the pump without coverplates in place. Never apply
electric power to the pump without coverplates in place. Always disconnect power
before repairing or servicing
If the pump is to be installed in a hazardous (classified) location,
it must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to all
National, State, and Local codes. Including, but not limited to; NEC/CSA 22.1/ANSI/IEC/
NFPA 70, 30, and 30A. You, as the owner, are responsible for seeing that the installation
and operation of your pump complies with all applicable codes. Rigid conduits must be
used to install wiring. Note that the lead wires are factory-sealed, isolating the motor
from the junction box. Failure to follow these wiring instructions may result in death or
serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.
NOTE: The MU, AU, MD, and AD pumps are pre-wired for
installation in Class I, Division 2 locations such as portable
fuel tanks, trailers, etc. Connection to a battery will depend upon the application. If
the pump is to be installed in a Class I, Division I location please contact GPI for the
appropriate product.
Do not attempt to power the pump from vehicle wiring smaller
than the cord gauge specified in the owners manual such as the
cigarette lighter wire, as improperly sized wires could overheat and cause a fire.
IMPORTANT: Verify switch is in OFF position, then route the electrical wires
to the source of the vehicle power system. Be sure to support the wires as
necessary and protect them from sharp edges, heat, or anything that could
damage the wires.
