It breaks a liquid siphon if there is an open nozzle or a leaking hose below the fluid level in the tank when the pump is turned off. Fill-Rite recommends installing anti-siphon kit # KIT700AS with the tube terminating in the vapor space at the top of the tank.
Electrical wiring should be performed only by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, using threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal, and the pump must be properly grounded.
The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection; if overheated, the motor will shut off to prevent damage to the windings, and it will restart without warning when it cools if the power is on.
The pump shall not be used to transfer fluids into any type of aircraft and is not suited for fluids intended for human consumption or fluids containing water.
