•
Do not use this pump for pumping any liquid intended for
human consumption.
•
Make sure that the discharge line of the pump is secure before
operating pump. If the discharge line is not secured it could
move.
•
Release all pressure within the system before disconnecting
plumbing connections.
•
Do not add acid or electrolyte to a battery being used—add only
water, if necessary. Consult the battery manufacturer for any
additional safety instructions.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and
operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and
operation.
•
End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Connect only to a 12 Volt battery.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump compo
-
nent materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible
with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the
electrical insulation system resulting in pump failure.
•
DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY
. Dry running (without liquid) for more
than 30 seconds will permanently damage the impeller. Prime
pump before starting to protect impeller. Be sure to turn off
pump when liquid supply is exhausted.
•
Do not submerge motor or mount pump in a location where
motor will come in contact with water. This pump is not
designed for use in showers, hot tubs, spas, bilges, or other
potentially wet locations.
•
Do not oil the motor. The pump’s motor housing is sealed. Use of
oil could cause permanent damage to the pump.
•
Protect lead wires from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the lead wires. Replace or repair dam
-
aged or worn lead wires immediately.
•
Do not use the lead wires for lifting the pump.
•
Do not let the unit freeze. Freezing may cause cracking or distor
-
tion that may destroy the unit.
INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1.
Do not connect the pump to the battery until all plumbing connections are
complete and the pump is secure.
2. Position the pump on a flat surface and make sure the hoses to be used are
uncoiled.
•
Pump should be placed as close to the source of water and battery as
possible, not more than 7 ft above the water source and not more than
36 ft from the battery.
•
If the suction line is longer than 6 ft, or the suction lift is higher than 6 ft
above the water source, install a foot valve.
•
When used in a boat, the pump should not be installed in the bilge.
•
The motor is designed to be used in a clean, dry location with access to
an adequate supply of cooling air. Ambient temperature around the motor should not exceed
104°F (40°C). For outdoor installations, motor must be protected from the elements by a cover
that does not block airflow to and around the motor.
3. Attach rigid pipe or reinforced hose to the suction port (opposite the port marked “Outlet Port”).
•
Avoid using looped section of pipe or hose that might permit air to become entrapped.
IMPORTANT:
Using unreinforced hose on the suction side of the pump could cause a loss of prime.
4. Place the end of the suction line or reinforced garden hose into the source of water to be moved.
5. Ensure the suction line is airtight and there are no holes in the pipe or reinforced hose.
6. Attach a garden hose to the discharge port (marked "Outlet Port"). A regular garden hose may be used
on the discharge side of the pump.
7. Direct the end of the garden hose where the water is to be relocated. Secure the discharge hose to keep
it from moving due to water pressure.
