line is longer than 6'.
10. It is strongly recommended that this unit be plugged into a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter). Cons ult your local electrician for installation and
availability.
11. When used in a boat, pump should not be installed in the bilge.
WARNING: Disconnect battery when making adjustments and repairs.
First, remove the battery NEGATIVE (–) ground cable, then lastly the battery
POSITIVE (+) cable.
Operation
1. Pumps are self-priming and should prime themselves within 30 seconds
after pump is started. Wetting impeller with pumped fluid and keeping the
impeller coated with petroleum jelly will lengthen its life and improve priming
action. Running the impeller dry for as short as 30 seconds can ruin the
impeller. Keep suction line as short as possible.
NOTE: An easy way to prime the pump (wet impeller), if using a garden hose,
is to fill the discharge hose; elevate the discharge hose slightly to retain water
and start the pump. Another method would be to disconnect the discharge
hose from the pump, making a U-bend of the discharge hose. Fill the hose
then reconnect (without losing the water) to the pump. In both cases the water
behind the impeller will seal the pump and it will prime almost immediately.
2. Unit can be turned on and off by plugging & unplugging cord into 115V outlet.
3. Do not run at heads greater than 25' (11psig).
4. Pump equipped with a 12-Volt DC motor:
a. To operate, the motor must be connected to a 12-volt battery in good
condition, such as the type used in cars, trucks, boats, etc. Motor will
run in either direction. Therefore, connect the red wire to the POSITIVE
(+) terminal of the battery, the black wire to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal
of the battery to have the flow correspond with the arrow on the cover
plate. By reversing the wires to the battery, the pump will discharge from
the opposite port.
b. Low voltage may cause critical overheating and premature failures. To
avoid this, be sure battery voltage is maintained and observe recommended
wire size during installation. The motor is splash proof, but not
waterproof. DO NOT SUBMERGE.
CAUTION: Because unit is thermally protected, it is designed to shut off
temporarily in an overheat condition; therefore, pumping extremely hot
liquids is not recommended. Also, to protect the impeller from breakage,
do not pump liquids with a temperature less than 40°F. DO NOT TOUCH
MOTOR, IT MAY BECOME VERY HOT.
WARNING: Do not submerge pump or motor in water.

Safety Guidelines
WARNING: Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Failure
to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. WARNING: Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
3. The pump is not submersible and is intended for open-air use only.
4. Disconnect power before servicing a motor or its load. If the power disconnect
is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power.
5. Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.
6. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.
7. The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector
