To avoid personal injury, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) approved by Underwriters Laboratories
Standard 943 with this pump. If your electrical service
already had GFCI outlets, you are protected. If not, a
portable GFCI is available through electrical equipment
distributors or from GPI. Contact your distributor or GPI
Customer Service for more information.
P-120DEF:
This pump is designed for use with a 12-volt DC battery.
1. Inspect wiring for corrosion or damage. Replace, as
necessary.
2. Connect the pump to a 12-volt DC battery with the
red wire attached to positive (+) and the black to
negative (–).
PA-120DEF & P-120DEF:
For best results, immediately before use, purge the
system of air.
Follow these steps to purge the system of air.
1. Connect the pump to the appropriate power supply
(PA-120DEF to grounded GFCI protected, 115-volt
power) (P-120DEF to a 12-volt DC battery).
2. Place the nozzle in the fill hole of the tank. Turn the
pump on.
3. Open the nozzle and pump at full flow until the system
is full of DEF.
4. Close the nozzle and turn the pump off.
NOTE: The PA-120DEF and P-120DEF pumps include
an automatic bypass that will open automatically if
internal pump pressure builds up.
Dispense Fluid
The PA-120DEF and P-120DEF pumps are intended for
use with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) only.
1. Turn power ON.
2. Insert the nozzle into the receiving tank.
3. Open the nozzle. Always dispense at full flow.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the standard duty cycle of 30 minutes
ON and 30 minutes OFF. Allow the pump to cool
for 30 minutes.
4. Dispense the desired amount.

Thermal Protector
PA-120DEF:
This pump's motor contains an automatic thermal
protector. Excessive motor heat can trip the protector.
It resets automatically after the motor has cooled
approximately 30 minutes.

Circuit Breaker
PA-120DEF:
The magnetic circuit breaker trips automatically when the
motor draws more than 3 amps. This feature provides
added protection against motor damage and must be
reset manually.
When the circuit breaker trips, turn the power off and
disconnect from power before attempting any repairs.
Inspect the pump thoroughly and clean or repair it as
necessary.
CAUTION
Make sure the pump switch is in the OFF position
before restoring power.
Reset the circuit breaker after repairs are complete. To
reset, press in on the circuit breaker reset button at the
end of the cover assembly.
MAINTENANCE
Proper cleaning and maintenance is vital to prolong pump
life and promote trouble-free operation.
NOTE: Failure to follow recommended cleaning and
storage procedures increases the chance of pump
failure and may void the warranty.
