Whale Gusher 10 Mk3 BP3708, Installation & User'S Instructions

Page: 2 / 8

This bilge pump is designed to exhaust standing water only. Manufactured from durable diecast alloy to withstand
tough marine conditions.
This bilge pump is suitable as a primary bilge pump on boats equal to or greater than 12m (40ft). Output capacity
depends on installation, conditions during use and pumping rate. Users should be aware that capacity may not be
sufficient to cope with rapid influx of water. If it is intended for any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the
users responsibility to ensure that the pump is suitable for the intended use and, in particular, that the materials are
fully compatible with the liquids to be used.
• The pump is designed to evacuate standing bilge water only. Bilge pump capacities may not be sufficient to
prevent flooding from rapid accumulation of water due to storms, rough weather and/ or rapid leaks created
by hull damage and or unsafe navigational conditions.
• Fitting an inlet strainer will ensure the maximum efficiency of the pump.
• This pump is not for use in systems evacuating water through a skin fitting or seacock below the waterline.
All pipework must contain a corectly installed anti-syphon valve/loop (next page see Fig 3 - Typical
installation diagram).
• Not suitable for pumping flammable liquids, diesel, chemicals etc. Suitable for bilge water only.
• With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to installation, use and
maintenance. Ensure the waste water system is drained before installation. In order to securely fasten the
unit, ensure that the mounting surface is a minimum thickness of 18mm (45/64") as shown in Fig. 4
• NOTE Do not screw directly to the hull - must be mounted on a bulkhead or on an additional board.
