Frequently Asked Questions - TKA400-E Vevor

How do I prime the pump for the first time?

Remove the tank cap, point the nozzle into the tank, turn on the pump and press the trigger to purge air. After a few seconds, diesel should start flowing. You can then use the unit normally.

How do I connect the unit to a 12 V battery?

Attach the red alligator clip (positive wires) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery and the black clip to the negative terminal (-). If the pump runs backwards, simply reverse the clips. Use a cable of sufficient gauge (25 A minimum) if extending the cable.

What types of fuel can I use with this tank?

This tank is designed exclusively for transporting and pumping diesel (gas oil). Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids, as this would pose a fire or explosion risk.

What is the maximum continuous operating time?

The pump can operate continuously for up to 30 minutes. In bypass mode (nozzle closed), do not exceed 2 to 3 minutes to avoid motor overheating.

What should I do if the pump does not start?

First check the battery connections (clips well attached). Then inspect the 25 A fuse located under the plastic cap on the pump; replace it if blown. If the problem persists, disassemble the pump head to check for rust or blockage.

How to maintain the filter and strainer?

Clean the suction strainer (at the end of the hose) and the coarse filter at the nozzle inlet regularly. For the latter, remove the swivel and clean it. Reduced flow or a screeching noise indicates dirty filters.

Why is the pump making a grinding noise?

This is usually due to dirt or debris stuck in the impeller. Disassemble the pump cover, remove particles and clean the vanes carefully. Do not overtighten screws when reassembling.

How do I store the unit safely?

Store the tank in a well-ventilated area, away from any heat or ignition sources. Do not leave it in a garage attached to a dwelling. Clean up any spills immediately and dispose of waste according to regulations.

Can I use this tank to transport gasoline?

No, absolutely not. This tank is designed and certified only for diesel. Using it with gasoline or other fuels is dangerous and may cause serious injury or death.

Where can I find spare parts and technical support?

Spare parts (vanes, fuse, nozzle, etc.) are available from Vevor. For technical assistance, visit www.vevor.com/support and have your electronic warranty certificate ready.

Safety Instructions (cont.)

The location and wording of the safety decal fitted to your diesel tank is shown below. It is important that all operators read and follow the information on all safety decals before operating the unit. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.PESWarnings.ca.gov

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE - The internal bypass fitted in all diesel pump models is designed to protect the pump and motor from damage when the trigger is shut off for a time not to exceed 2-3 minutes.

This is enough time for the operator to switch off the pump or recommence pumping. When the nozzle is off and the pump is running, the pump pressure increases and the electric motor load increases using more power (amps), which in turn generates more heat within both the pump and motor, risking increased wear or possibly, if the pump is not switched off.

Safety Instructions

Before attempting to operate or install the diesel unit, carefully read and take note of the following safety warnings.

Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious injury.

Warning! This diesel unit is designed and manufactured solely to carry and pump diesel fuel. Under no circumstances may it be used for any other purposes.

Warning! Prior to installing or using the Diesel unit, all operators must have read and fully understand the contents of this instruction manual as well as all other manuals supplied, and the safety decal fitted to the Diesel unit.

Warning! Never allow an inadequately trained person to install or operate the Diesel unit.

Warning! Ensure the capacity of the vehicle is suitable for the loaded mass of the diesel unit. Refer to the vehicle operator's manual for safe working loads, correct secure points and relevant safety instructions.

Warning! Avoid diesel contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing vapours or mists. Refer to the Material Data Safety sheet from your Diesel supplier for recommended safety precautions and any required protective equipment for use when handling. Ensure that all operators and associated personnel are familiar with the legal regulations and codes of practice that apply to the safe use, storage and disposal of diesel.

Warning! This diesel unit should be securely restrained or tied down when being transported in a vehicle.

Warning! This Diesel unit should not be lifted when partially or completely full unless supported by an appropriate frame or pallet.

Warning! This unit should never be left unattended while dispensing or being filled.

Warning! Before attempting to fill the tank at a service station, consult the operator for the correct procedure.

Warning! Do not store the diesel unit within or next to a dwelling or garage attached to a dwelling.

Warning! Always store the diesel unit in well ventilated open areas.

Warning! Storage of the diesel unit must not be in the proximity of any heating or ignition sources.

Warning! No combustible waste material or residues shall be permitted to remain in or around areas in which diesel is stored or decanted.

Warning! Any spillage shall be cleaned up immediately and the materials used in the clean-up shall be disposed of safely and in accordance with any legal regulations and codes of practice that apply to the safe use, storage and disposal of Diesel.

Warning! Ensure that the electrical lead(s) are always in good condition and that no wire is exposed through the plastic coating. Do not allow the lead to become tightly knotted, crushed or pinched.

WARNING

When operating the diesel unit, carefully read and take note of the following safety warnings.

There may be residual oil in the tank that cannot be pumped out.

Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious injury.

Warning! When operating the diesel unit, do not use fuel gasoline; it is only for diesel.

Warning! When operating, the diesel unit needs to be connected to a 12V battery.

Operation and Installation

PREPARING THE TRANSFER UNIT FOR OPERATION:

For transport purposes, some transfer units will be supplied with the delivery hose and automatic shut-off gun disconnected from the pump. Before attempting to pump any diesel, ensure that the delivery hose is securely fitted to the pump's end and that the automatic shut-off gun (with swivel) is fitted to the other end of the delivery hose.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY:

All the diesel transfer units are fitted with DC electric motors that are supplied with alligator clips that can be connected directly to a 12-volt DC battery. Connect the red alligator clip to the positive terminal and the black alligator clip to the negative terminal. If the pump runs backwards, simply swap the clips on the battery. If you intend to extend the cable or add a plug, make sure it is of sufficient capacity (25 amps).

FILLING THE DIESEL UNIT:

Ensure that the tank is supported on an even base that is capable of taking the weight. No special equipment is required to fill the tank; however, when the lid has been removed from the tank, take care not to introduce contaminants into the tank via the filler neck, and ensure that the lid is kept free of contaminating particles while filling.

TRANSFERRING DIESEL:

The pump will need to prime itself upon first use. Turn the pump on and depress the trigger to allow air to bleed from the hoses. After a short time, the pump will be primed and delivery will commence. We recommend for this first priming that the nozzle is removed from the tank and directed back into the tank while pumping to avoid spillage or loss of diesel. With this done, the unit is now ready to operate. To dispense, the pump must be turned on and the nozzle's trigger depressed. The nozzle features an automatic shut-off which operates when fluid contacts the outer nozzle. Once the auto shut-off operates, turn off the pump within 2 or 3 minutes to not allow the motor to run for longer than its specified duty cycle.

Maintenance

The pumps have been designed and built to require minimal maintenance. However, it is still important that you always remove the pump from the power source before any inspection.

The vanes in the head of the pump will wear over time and require replacement. To extend the life of the vanes, ensure that the filters are kept clean and the tank is free of contaminants. If a reduced flow rate is noticeable, or a screeching sound is heard from the pump, dirt or debris may have entered the pump and requires immediate cleaning before parts are permanently damaged. Periodically check the suction foot filter to ensure that it is clean and free of debris. This should be done if there is a noticeable decrease in diesel flow rate. There is also a coarse screen mesh at the end of the auto shut-off gun, and it can be checked by removing the gun from the hose.
