Safety Information
DANGER
Electrical wiring should be performed with extreme caution and in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA
30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate for the intended use of the pump. The pump must be properly grounded. If installing in deviation of this manual, a
licensed electrician must perform the installation. Improper installation or use of this product could result in serious bodily injury, or death!
DANGER
To ensure safe and proper operation of your equipment, it is critical to read and adhere to all of the following safety warnings and precautions.
Failure to follow instructions below, improper installation, or use of this product, will cause serious bodily injury or death!
• DO NOT use the pump near flammable liquids! Fire can result!
• This product shall not be used to transfer fluids into any type of aircraft.
WARNING
Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
Leaking fluids may cause a hazard.
WARNING
On Fill-Rite DEF pumps equipped with AC motors, the pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection. If overheated, the motor will shut off
to prevent damage to the windings. If this happens, TURN THE PUMP OFF! When the motor cools, it will restart without warning if the power is on.
CAUTION
This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption. Materials of construction are not food grade.
About Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The FIll-Rite DEF pump is designed to pump AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%), better known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid, often called "DEF", or "AdBlue".
DEF / AdBlue is used by modern diesel engines which are equipped with an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. The common misconception
is that it is an additive to the fuel, but DEF / AdBlue never comes into contact with the fuel. DEF / AdBlue is carried onboard the vehicle in its own
storage tank. It is injected into the exhaust gases as a post combustion process through an SCR (Selective Cataltic Reduction) where it breaks
harmful NOx (Nitrous Oxide) emissions down into mostly nitrogen and oxygen.
Because the specific purity of the DEF / AdBlue solution is critical to the catalytic reaction, the Fill-Rite DEF pump is designed to maintain the integrity
by using components made of materials that will not taint or alter the solutions chemical structure.
NOTICE
To maintian the purity of DEF / AdBlue, it is important the dispensing system is a "closed loop", or sealed system. DEF / AdBlue will crystalize on
contact with oxygen, so having sealed containers, sealed lines and equipment, and a dispensing nozzle imersed in water are all paramount to
maintining the integrity of the DEF / AdBlue solution.
NOTICE
After initial assembly and installation, flush the entire dispensing system by pumping 5 – 10 gallons of DEF through it. This purges the system
of air, and insures any impurities that may have been in the system are washed out. Dispose of the DEF used to flush the system using approved
DEF handling procedures; do not return the fluid to the drum or tote, or use it in a vehicle.
WARNING
To ensure safe and proper operation of your equipment, it is critical to read and adhere to all of the following safety warnings and precautions.

•
Improper installation or use of this product can cause serious bodily injury or death!
•
Maintaining the purity of Diesel Exhaust Fluid is critical; it is imperative once the system is assembled, it must remain sealed to insure the
integrity of the fluid. Breaking the seal on the system can lead to fluid contamination.
•
After dispensing DEF be certain to drain all the fluid from the nozzle, making sure it is pointing downward with the nozzle tip submerged in
water when stored in the nozzle boot. DEF remaining in the nozzle tip that is exposed to air will crystallize and can plug the nozzle.
•
DO NOT lay the dispensing nozzle on the ground or any surface that may contaminate the nozzle tip as this can compromise the purity of the DEF.
•
Inlet and outlet threads are BSPP style and seals against O-rings, so no special sealant is required.
•
Storage tanks must be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or empty.
•
On Fill-Rite DEF pumps equipped with AC motors, the pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection. If overheated, the motor will
shut off to prevent damage to the windings. If this happens, TURN THE PUMP OFF! When the motor cools, it will restart without warning if
the power is on.
