unit is present.
- See ‘pump unit information’ for guidance on
unit selection, information is displayed on the
product label indicating which model you have.
Pump Unit Information:
- 22610-9007 – NPT Internal Ports, 12v, 30 minute
cycle MAX.
- 22610-2007 – BSP Internal Ports, 12v, 30 minute
cycle MAX.
Features
- The pump has been designed to pump fluid
into ballast tanks.
- The pump is reversible so it can add liquid
ballast, and then pump it overboard when
needed.
- When required, the pump is switched on to fill
the tank then the pump switched off when full.
- To reduce ballast, the pump will reverse to
pump ballast back over board.
- The same operation is used for ballast transfer
between two tanks.
5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 PUMP SET-UP
- Verify that all components are present
- Check the pump unit has not been damaged
during transit
- Ensure inlet and outlet ports are free from dirt,
dust or packaging material
- Ensure electrical data corresponds to those
indicated on the product label and ensure
the correct fuse is fitted in the power line (see
section 8 for recommended fuses)
- Fit a strainer on the inlet hose to prevent larger
debris from entering the pump, ensure this is
clean and free from dirt before use.
- Before connecting the inlet and outlet hoses,
ensure they are free from dirt.
- Secure 25 mm (1”) ID hose either directly to the
discharge ports, or to ½” BSP/ NPT threaded
fittings using stainless steel hose clamps.
- Use spiral reinforced hose (with a smooth
internal bore) that will not collapse under
suction, or rigid or semi-rigid pipework systems.
- The pump can be mounted on any flat suitable
surface.
- Fit the pump in a dry, well ventilated position
where there is full access for service.
- Use rubber grommets provided to minimise
vibration, do not over tighten the mounting
screws.
- All marine pumps discharging overboard must
be installed with the overboard discharge well
above both static and heeled waterlines.
-
The pipework must be compatible with liquid
being pumped.
WARNING!
It is the installer’s responsibility to use hoses
with suitable properties. The use of hose that is
not suitable could cause damage to the pump,
operator or the surrounding environment.
The loosening of hose connections can cause
environmental and safety issues. Check all
connections after the initial installation and on
a daily basis thereafter. Tighten if required. It
is recommended the hose is installed prior to
installing electrical supply.
WARNING!
Use a medium strength pipe sealant for metal
threads.
- Pipe runs should be kept as straight as possible,
avoiding rising and dipping over obstructions,
shown below.
- In order to ensure good priming always keep
connections tight.
- Seal leaks should be checked and changed, as
leakage could be dangerous, shown below.
- The pump should be installed so that the motor
is protected from constant rain, wash down or
bilge water.
- The pump should not be run with a closed outlet.
- Please note the pump body can be turned 180
degrees in relation to the motor. This will change
the flow direction.
Install overboard discharge well above both
static and heeled waterlines.
