CAUTION! This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption or fluids
containing water. Materials of construction are not food grade. Water will cause rust and corrosion in the
pump housing. If water enters the pump, flush immediately with a petroleum product (gasoline, diesel, light
oil, etc) to eradicate residual water.
IMPORTANT! A Fill-Rite filter should be used on the pump outlet to ensure no foreign material is transferred
to the fuel tank. Foreign material can damage the equipment being fueled.

Fueling Safety

DANGER! Fumes accumulated while fueling create an Explosive Atmosphere. It is CRITICAL that all
possible sources of ignition be removed to a safe distance or extinguished. Sources of ignition would
include (but not be limited to) open flames, cigarettes, static discharge, or electrical connections that can
create a spark. Explosion, fire, and severe injury or death will occur if the explosive vapors are ignited.
As a tank is being filled, air is displaced and exits
via the fuel tank vent creating fumes, which when
accumulated create an Explosive Atmosphere. To
avoid possible explosion of accumulated vapors,
it is critical to keep possible sources of spark /
ignition at safe distances from the fuel vapors.
The accompanying diagram shows minimum safe
distances for safe fueling. 10' is the minimum safe
distance between:
» Power source and fuel supply
» Power source and tank being filled
» Power source and pump.

Installation

Your Fill-Rite nextec DC pump is designed to be mobile for your convenience and safety. It can be installed / used in
several configurations. Read each configuration prior to beginning installation.
WARNING! The nextec Series DC smart pump is designed for use on skid tanks, and large bulk tanks to
supply fuel. It is paramount to anchor the supply tank to which the pump is mounted to ensure no movement
occurs in transit or while fueling. Failure to secure the tank or drum can cause unexpected and uncontrolled
movement, resulting in damage, injury, death, and potential fire or explosion.
IMPORTANT! Do not use check valves or foot valves; valves reduce rate of flow and performance of the
pump.
