SS5012, SS5022, SS1012 and SS1024 - Manual System:
Step 1: When fitted on their own, these pumps
must be
activated by putting the switch into the ON position (Figure 4, Supersub Manual System).
Step 2: The Supersub must be turned off as soon as the water has been evacuated from the bilge, as running the pump when it is dry will shorten
the life of the pump.
SS5012, SS5022, SS1012 and SS1024 - Automatic System:
Step 1: When used with BE9002, BE9003 or BE9006 the pump can be left on automatic or switched to manual activation (Figure 4, Supersub
Automatic System).
SS5212, SS1212 and SS1224:
Step 1: Set the 3 way switch to Automatic (Figure 4 Supersub Smart 650/1100), the pump will run when necessary. Place fingers over sensor area
to check pump is activated, remove fingers and wait for the pump to stop (15 seconds). Check pump regularly to ensure no clogging occurs
(Figure 5).
Freezing in winter may cause damage to the Supersub range of products. To avoid this damage, ensure water is removed from the bilge on a
regular basis especially before and during winter months.
The Supersub range is a non-serviceable product range. Should the pump fail due to mishandling or should the product be outside of its warranty
period, the only option is to purchase a new complete unit. For full warranty statement please see document enclosed. Due to extreme conditions
found in the bilge of boats, we recommend that your submersible bilge pump is replaced at least every 3 years, this is due to temperature changes
and the different chemical environments.
Whale’s policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to change specifications without prior notice.
