This pump series has a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload
condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - PUP61DC
1. Lubricate inlet side of pump (indicated on pump body) with vegetable oil
2. Attach suction hose to inlet side of pump. It is recommended to use a stiff, heavy walled hose to
reduce the risk of the suction hose collapsing under the vacuum created by the pump suction.
3. Attach the suction strainer if there is any chance of debris being present in the water to be pumped.
Attach a hose to the discharge port of the pump.
4. Place the suction strainer in the deepest point in the water to be pumped.
5. Connect pump electrical connection clamps to the appropriate terminals of a 12V Deep Cycle battery.
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal post
of the battery.
6. Pump will take several seconds to prime, as water is pulled to the suction inlet. This is normal.
The previously placed vegetable oil protects the impeller from running dry during this period. This

7. Monitor the pumping process and stop the pump when pumping is complete to prevent dry-running.
