SELECT FILL POSITION
1. Port side ballast switch
2. Starboard side ballast switch
3. Select FILL position
The bag is full when water evacuates
from the ballast vent thru-hull fitting lo-
cated overboard on the PORT or STAR-
BOARD side of the vehicle.
CAUTION: It is always a good prac-
tice to monitor ballast bag filling
and stop pump before it comes
out from ballast vent fitting. Stop
pump when you visually see that
the ballast bag is full.
CAUTION: While filling, in the event
of ballast system leakage, the bilge
pump will start to evacuate wa-
ter from bilge automatically.
To
avoid having both pumps working
against each other for a long period
of time, we recommend watching
for this matter. If a leak occurs,
stop the ballast pump immediately
and close the thru-hull valve. De-
tect and repair leak before using
the system again.
