Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Toolzone 500cc Metal Transfer Pump is designed for immediate use. Ensure the suction and discharge hoses are securely attached to the pump body. For optimal performance, prime the pump by drawing a small amount of fluid through it before starting the main transfer.
Compatibility: This pump is compatible with most common automotive and workshop fluids, including engine oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, fuel, and water. Avoid using it with corrosive chemicals or solvents unless specifically stated as safe by the manufacturer. Ensure the diameter of the suction hose is appropriate for the fluid being transferred and the intended opening.
Care: After each use, it is recommended to flush the pump with a suitable cleaning solvent (e.g., clean kerosene or diesel for oil, fresh water for water-based fluids) to remove any residual fluid and prevent contamination. Store the pump in a clean, dry place. Periodically check the hose connections for leaks and ensure the internal mechanisms are free from debris.
