TYPICAL INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
SHURflo's Pro Baitmaster pumps are designed to handle the harsh marine environment. The motor is
protected by an integral thermal breaker, and is U/L Marine listed. Baitmaster pressure switches are sealed
and the motors are finished with Electro-coating to inhibit corrosion. A Baitmaster pump can be mounted in
an environment where "splashed water" may be present. The Baitmaster pumps are enclosed to prevent
incidental moisture from entering; however, they
are not submersible
. The Baitmaster delivers water on
demand. With the output side closed (valve off) the pump will turn off. As the valve is opened the pressure
within the output side drops. Once the pressure drops below a predetermined point the pressure
switch closes and the pump turns on. If the output side is wide open the pump operates continuously.
When the valve is partially opened the pump may cycle
ON
/
OFF
(intermittent duty) as it is able to pressurize
faster than the water is being released.
MOUNTING
1.
Consider a dry location that allows easy access if maintenance is required. The pump should not be
located in an area of less than one cubic foot unless adequate ventilation is provided. Excessive
heat may trigger the integral thermal breaker and interrupt operation. When the temperature drops
the breaker will automatically reset and the pump will start.
2.
Mount higher than the outside water (sea) level. The pump is capable of 6 ft. [1.82M] vertical prime
above the outside water level. The pump can be mounted in any position. If mounting the pump
vertically, the pump head should be in the down position.
