CONNECTION OF SERVICES
FRESHWATER FILLER
The Whale Watermaster system is used on
your vehicle to make easier the connection of
an outside water supply to the water system.
Operation
Priming :
1. Open one cold tap (e.g. kitchen sink).
2. Place pump into water container.
3. Insert plug into wall socket.
4. Whale socket: Insert plug into socket and
slide cover down to lock the plug in
position.
5. Adjust dust cover over opening in
container (please note dust cover should
not be secured to water container as air
must be allowed to enter container to
replace water being pumped out).
6. Switch on 12 volt supply at main panel
isolator switch.
7. Water will flow from the open tap expelling
any trapped air in a few seconds.
8. Turn off tap, the system is now ready for
use.
When removing plug
1. Switch off 12 volt supply at main panel
isolator switch.
2. Whale socket: Lift socket lid to release
plug.
3. Pull out plug from socket using hand grip.
4. Shut lid.
The submersible pump can be run for quite
long periods when in water, but it is
recommended that running periods should be
restricted to a maximum of 15 minutes. Do
not run the pump without water. Do not use
the pump in water temperatures above 40ºC
(100ºF). It is best to stand the pump
vertically.
Maintenance
The pump is fitted with a strainer which
should be inspected and cleaned at frequent
intervals. The pump is a completely sealed
unit, no maintenance is required.
Helpful Hints:
Before switching on, place the pump in water
and shake for a few seconds in a horizontal
or inverted position to release trapped air.
This will ensure successful priming and
should be repeated after refilling the water
tank. The plug for the Whale socket has a
groove under the handgrip for clipping the
water hose into when refilling the water
container.
Fault Finding
1. If the pump will not run:
Check contacts in plug and socket are
clean and making contact. Check wiring
connections.
2. If the pump cycles on/off with tap closed:
Check for air or water leaks in taps and
piping. Re-adjust pressure switch.
3. If pump motor runs steadily and will not
stop: Check that there is water in the
container. Battery voltage may be too low
(at or below 10.5 volts). Adjust pressure
switch and/or recharge battery. Check all
connections in pipe-work. The Whale
Tiptoe Pump can be fitted in-line with the
submersible pump and used as a manual
back-up.
Notes
* The socket lid must be used to lock the
plug securely into the socket.
• On the back of the filler socket, on the
inside of the vehicle, is an adjusting screw
for the pump solenoid. This is set by the
manufacturer and under no circumstances
should it be tampered with by the owner.
