GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED
1. Read all manuals included with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the equipment.
2. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use if
cord is damaged.
This pump has been evaluated for use with clear
water only.
MISE EN GARDE
Cette pompe a été évaluée pour être
utilisée seulement avec de l’eau fraîche.
INSTALLATION
This model includes a six foot long suction hose, a water suction
attachment, and a replacement parts kit which includes: impeller, gasket,
shaft seal and garden hose washer. A vegetable oil product for impeller
lubrication is needed.
Always disconnect power source before
attempting to install, service, or maintain the pump. Never handle a
pump with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Toujours débrancher le cordon d'alimentation
avant d'essayer d'installer, de réparer ou de faire l'entretien de la
pompe. Ne pas manipuler de pompe avec les mains humides ou debout
sur une surface humide ou mouillée, ou dans l'eau. Ceci pourrait
occasionner un choc électrique mortel.
1. PC1 operates on 12 V DC only. Voltage and current of power
supply must match the requirements of the pump. This pump has
color-coded battery clamps for 12 V operation. This pump requires
14 amps at 12 V DC (see Figure 1).
Risk of fatal electrical shock. Cutting the cord
or battery terminal clamps will void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
Risque de choc électrique mortel. Couper le
cordon ou les bornes de la batterie annulera la garantie et rendra la
pompe inutilisable.
2. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond, or source where
foreign objects may be sucked into the pump. The strainer should
prevent solids from entering the inlet line.
3. A regular garden hose may be used as a discharge line.
4. The inlet or suction hose should not be longer than 15 feet; and the
vertical distance between the pump and the water level should not
be any higher than 10 feet. The maximum discharge height is 30 ft.
6. Motor should never be operated for more than 2 hours
continuously. Critical heating can occur and might severely damage
the pump and void warranty.
OPERATION
NOTE:
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to both inlet and outlet to
prime. Attach included 6 foot suction hose to inlet of pump. Attach
garden hose to outlet of pump. There must be a gasket in place to
insure that these connections are airtight, otherwise the pump
will not prime.
1. Connect water suction attachment to the open end of inlet hose
and place below water surface. (Water suction attachment is
optional.)The water suction attachment is designed to fit the male
end of a garden hose. Place the water suction attachment as near
as possible to the middle of the water that is to be pumped.
2. Examine the inlet and outlet hoses to insure there are no blockages,
kinks or bends.
Place switch in “OFF” position before
connecting or disconnecting battery terminal clamps.
Placer l'interrupteur en position « OFF » avant
de connecter ou de déconnecter les pinces des bornes de la batterie.
3. Connect pump to 12 V battery power source, with pump in a dry
location. Motor must be connected to a fully charged automotive
tractor or marine type battery to operate.
4. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) type battery terminal.
Connect the black clamp to the negative (-) type battery terminal.
See 12V wiring diagram below (Figure 1).
