barbed fitting. This can be done by squeezing a short piece of tubing

filled with liquid, an eyedropper, a bulb filled with liquid, blowing into
a short piece of tubing filled with liquid, or using a syringe.)

4. Slide one end of a piece of tubing nominal 4.8 mm, inside diameter
(3/16-inch) over the barbed inlet pump fitting. Most users select nomi­nal 4.8 mm (3/16”) inside diameter tubing. Place the other end of the
tubing into the vessel to be emptied.

5. Slide one piece of tubing over the barbed outlet pump fitting. Place
the other end of the tubing into the vessel to be filled.

6. Move Power/Direction switch (S1) to FORWARD to activate
pumping.

7. Move the Pump Speed switch (S2) to Prime (Purge) to quickly fill
the tubing with liquid.

8. Move the Pump Speed switch (S2) to SLOW or FAST.

9. Within each of the two speed ranges (SLOW and FAST), the flow
rate can be varied for precise delivery by rotating the Variable Flow
Control knob (C1). Selecting a higher reference number increases
the flow rate of the pump.

10. Use REVERSE (S1) to empty the liquid in the tubing back to a
vessel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If the pump sounds like it is pumping, but no liquid is moving, do
the following. Prime the pump by placing some liquid into the
barbed inlet fitting. This can be done by squeezing a short piece of
tubing filled with liquid, an eyedropper, a bulb filled with liquid,
blowing into a short piece of tubing filled with liquid, or using a
syringe.

2. If the pump has been pumping at high speed for sometime, the
regulator chip may overheat and shut the unit down. Turn the pump
off and allow it to cool down.

3. If the pump makes no sound when turned on, make certain there is
power to the outlet and the power supply is plugged in.

CAUTION: During operation of the pump, the top panel or the black heat sink
on the back of the pump may be very warm to the touch.

OPERATION

1. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

2. Remove red covers from the inlet and outlet barbed pump fittings.

3. NOTE: To insure instant pumping place some liquid into pump inlet or outlet
fittings so it is wetted. (Prime pump by placing some liquid into the
