GPI Oil Pump [L5016, L5116, L5132] User manual

GPI Oil Pump
Models L 5016, L 5116 & L 5132

GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this manual is to assist you in installing, operating and maintaining your GPI Oil Pump. This pump is a positive displacement, direct drive pump.

Models L 5116 and L 5132 are wired for 115-volts only, however these motors have the capability to run on 230-volts if properly wired by an Electrician (see the label on the motor for specifications). GPI does not supply any wiring items or hookup connectors for the 230 voltage. Rewiring for 230-volts is the risk and responsibility of the buyer/owner and user. GPI is not liable for any damage or accidents caused by rewiring. Both the 12-volt DC and the 115-/230-volt AC pump are compatible with motor oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, antifreeze (not to exceed 50% water), ATF and waste oil. Do not use this pump for dispensing any fluids other than those for which it was designed. To do so may damage pump components and will void the warranty.
Do not use the GPI Oil pump with water, acids, brake fluid or windshield washer fluid. If in doubt about compatibility of a specific fluid, contact the supplier of the fluid to check for chemical compatibility with:

• Aluminum
• Stainless Steel
• Brass
• Steel
• Nitrile Rubber
• Zinc Plated Steel

Do not leave the system running without fluids. “Dry running” can damage the pump.
Do not pump the tank completely dry, as contaminants from the bottom of the tank may enter the pump.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The following safety alert symbols are used in this manual.

DANGER: indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

It is your responsibility to:

• know and follow applicable national, state and local safety codes pertaining to installing and operating electrical equipment for use with petroleum fluids.
• ensure that all equipment operators have access to adequate instructions concerning safe operating and maintenance procedures.

Observe all safety precautions concerning safe handling of petroleum fluids. Do not use pump with low flash point fluids (100° F or less).
To ensure safe operation, this pump must be properly grounded. Care should be taken to ensure proper grounding during initial installation and after any service or repair procedures. For your safety, please take a moment to review the warnings below.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when operating the system. Serious or fatal shock can result from operating electrical equipment in damp or wet locations.
On 12-volt pumps, inspect external pump wiring regularly to make sure it is correctly attached to the battery. To avoid electrical shock, use extra care when connecting the pump to power.

WARNING: GPI recommends installing only one pump per battery. Using more than one pump on the same battery could create a hazardous situation in a fault condition. As an option, use an appropriate selector switch that allows only one pump to be run at a time.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum fluids. Use protective goggles, gloves and aprons in case of splashing or spills. Change saturated clothing and wash skin promptly with soap and water.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when servicing the pump. Always disconnect power before repairing or servicing. Never apply electrical power to the system when any of the coverplates are removed.
If using solvent to clean pump components or tank, observe the solvent manufacturer’s recommendations for safe use and disposal.
The 115-/230-volt AC pump motors are equipped with thermal overload protection. If overheated, the pump will shut itself off. Turn off the pump if this occurs. See Motor Protector Section for details.
Worn and damaged hoses or nozzles are potential safety hazards and should be replaced.

INSTALLATION

Make sure all threaded connections are wrapped with three to four turns of oil resistant thread tape or pipe thread sealant.
Make sure drums are properly secured to prevent tip over when full or empty. All tanks must be properly vented.

Installing Pump to a Tank

GPI pumps have a 2-inch NPT connection that can be mounted directly to a 2-inch female pipe thread on the tank.

1. Clean the tank interior of all dirt and foreign material.

2. Glue sections of suction pipe together and cut it to the proper length that is required. Suction pipe should extend 2 to 3 inches above bottom of tank.

3. Screw suction pipe into inlet threads of pump base.

4. Insert the suction pipe through the tank bung. Screw pump into tank bung to secure the pump to the tank. (Figure 1)
   

5. To prevent pressure buildup and possible leaks through the ball valve, make sure the tank is vented.

Installing Discharge Plumbing on Pump Outlet

1. Install a 90 degree elbow to the pump outlet using oil resistant pipe sealant.
2. Install the hose and ball valve using oil resistant pipe sealant on the threads. Tighten securely.

Electrical Installation

WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Shut off all power before connecting wires to motor. Failure to follow these wiring instructions may result in death or serious injury from shock, fire or explosion.

115-/230-volt AC Powered Pumps
(Models L 5116 & L 5132):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 115-volt AC. These motors have the capability to run on 230-volts if properly wired by an electrician. Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated circuit breaker. If AC extension cords are used, they must be capable of safely carrying the rated motor current. Use only heavy duty, 3-wire, grounded extension cords.
_ NOTE: Many building codes require Ground Fault Circuit _interrupt (GFCI) protection.
Motor Ratings (FLA):
115-/230-volt AC:
1/2 HP, 1725 RPM – 7.5/3.7 amps
1 HP, 3450 RPM – 13.3/6.6 amps
12-volt DC:
1/2 HP, 1800 RPM – 40 amps
12-volt DC Powered Pumps (Model L 5016):
This GPI Oil Pump is factory wired for 12-volt DC. Circuit must be protected with a 50 amp automotive-type fuse (not supplied).
The power cord is not supplied with the pump. GPI recommends a minimum power cord of 10/3 AWG. Do not exceed 15 feet of cord.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Do not operate pump dry. Damage to pump could occur.

Before first usage, pour oil into pump outlet port to coat pumping element.

1. Place ball valve into the receiving tank to be filled.
2. Turn on the motor.
3. Open the ball valve and fill the container to the desired level. If flow does not occur within 15 seconds, shut off motor and refer to the priming information in the Troubleshooting Section.
4. Shut off the nozzle.
5. Turn off the motor.

Motor Protector :
The AC pumps contain thermal motor protection. If the pump overheats the unit will shutoff. If the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:
Model L 5132: Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to cool before restarting.
Model L 5116: Turn off the switch. Allow the motor to cool. Push the button to manually reset the protector.
Model L 5016: The 12-volt model should be protected by an inline fuse (not supplied). If the motor shuts off, check the fuse.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power and relieve pressure in the system by opening the nozzle before servicing the pump.
This pump is designed for minimum maintenance. Motor bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Inspect the pump and components regularly for leaks and make sure the hose, ball valve and components are in good condition.
Use of the pump with unauthorized fluids will void the warranty.
Remove and clean the strainer if low flow is noticed. To clean the strainer, remove the three screws on the strainer cover. Remove cover and pull out screen. Clean screen and reinstall. Care should be taken not to damage the O-ring.
