8. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is set to

the OFF (O) position BEFORE

connecting the pump cables to

the vehicle battery.

CAUTION: ONLY CONNECT THE DFT12A PUMP TO A 12V BATTERY AND

THE DFT24A PUMP TO A 24V BATTERY.

9. Ensure that the battery terminals are clean.

10. Connect the red-positive clamp to the red positive terminal first, then

connect the black clamp to the black-negative terminal, ensuring the

clamps are perfectly secure.

NOTE: The motor will not run if the clamps are connected the wrong way

round due to the in-built reverse polarity protection.

11. When disconnecting, always disconnect the black (negative) clamp first.

12. Ensure the clamps cannot be disturbed easily and that the setup is

protected from passers by.

13. Set the switch to ON (I).

• Ensure the transparent inlet suction hose and inlet filter clean as

once clogged, pump performance will quickly decline.

• Do not allow the pump to run dry for more than 30 seconds after

pumping has stopped. When finished pumping, switch off the pump.

14. During start-up it may be beneficial to open the dispensing nozzle on the

delivery hose to permit evacuation of air and achieve quicker priming.

WARNING: THIS PUMP HAS A 50% DUTY CYCLE AND SHOULD NOT BE RUN

CONTINUOUSLY FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. AFTER RUNNING, THE

PUMP MUST BE ALLOWED TO COOL FOR A PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE

RUN TIME.
