ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1.
Make certain that power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
2.
When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States.
3.
Model 360 and 370 are only for use on 115 volt (single-phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
and 3-prong, grounding-type plug. Model 365 is for 12VDC.
4.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, models 360 & 370 should be plugged directly into a properly installed and
grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. The motor must be securely and adequately grounded for your protection against shock hazards! Never
connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal! SEE SECTIONS 10, 11 & 12 FOR MODEL 365.
5.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
6.
To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician. Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong, grounding-type plugs and receptacles that accept the equipment plug.
7.
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
8.
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cords immediately.
9.
When using an extension cord make sure wire is of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the motor. For models
360 & 370, 16 AWG is OK up to 40'.
For Model 365
1.
The model 365 pump is not equipped with an inline fuse. Because of the wide variety of applications and mounting
situations, an inline fuse has not been permanently installed. In order to provide adequate protection for the motor,
an inline fuse and fuse holder MUST be installed. The model 365 pump warranty does not cover motor damage
caused by over heating. For maximum protection, a fuse of 7 amps is suggested. Fuses and fuse holders are readily
available in most hardware, auto and home improvement stores.
2.
GENERAL CONNECTION INFORMATION to a 12VDC battery.
3.
Connect POSITIVE or PLUS (+) lead from the pump to battery first. POSITIVE lead of pump is red.
4.
If pump is to be connected to battery that is installed in a vehicle, connect NEGATIVE or MINUS (–) lead to a ground
away from the battery, such as the metal of the vehicle or the negative wiring terminal strip or other negative
common point of the battery (away from the battery), if so equipped. Always connect NEGATIVE (–) lead last.
NEGATIVE (–) lead of pump is black.
5.
When DISCONNECTING — Disconnect NEGATIVE (–) lead from the grounded location first. Then disconnect the
POSITIVE (+) lead from the battery.
6.
When attaching pump leads to battery terminals, be sure that the area (bilge of a boat, for instance) is adequately
ventilated to prevent an explosion or fire from explosive or flammable vapors that may be present.
7.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas that is explosive. Avoid smoking, sparks or open flame anywhere in the vicinity of the
battery.
8.
EXPLOSION from battery can cause blindness. Shield eyes when working near any battery.
9.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. In case of contact with eyes, skin or clothing FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE
AMOUNTS OF WATER; GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
