OPERATION
Flexible impeller pumps must
NOT be run dry, as the
pumped liquid is the lubricant for the impeller. Observe
the outlet and shut off pump as soon as liquid stops
flowing. An automatic level switch is convenient to
control the pump.
The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as
encountered when using a garden hose type shut-off
nozzle.
Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 20 feet
of head (8.7 psi).
Temperature of pumped liquid may be in the range of
45° - 180°F (7° - 82°C).

APPLICATION
Use for bilge pumping, livewell circulation, washdown
and general pumping requirements. If bilge water
contains significant amount of oil, the standard impeller
should be replaced with impeller No. 6303-0003, which is
an oil-resistant nitrile material.
Pump has a dry prime suction lift of about 4 feet (1.2m)
and a lift to 20 feet (6m) when primed. BE SURE
SUCTION LINES ARE AIRTIGHT.
WARNING
!
Explosion hazard. Do not pump
gasoline, solvents, thinners or other
flammable liquids. To do so can cause
an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Light housing gets hot during
operation. Do not touch during
or immediately after operation.
Burns can result.
WARNING
!
Motor runs hot—about 180° is a normal
temperature. Prolonged contact during
operation may cause a burn.
