Applications

The Amazon range of pumps
is primarily designed to
evacuate standing bilge
water.

CAUTION: Amazon pumps
are not designed to keep
pace with water flowing in
through a hole in the vessel's
structure.

Actual performance varies
according to the individual
installation and the
pumping rate of the user.

The Amazon Universal and
Warrior models are also
suitable for discharging
toilet waste from holding
tanks.

CAUTION: Amazon pumps
are designed specifically for
use as bilge pumps and
toilet waste disposal pumps.
Consult ITT Industries-Jabsco
for advice about all other
possible applications. Do not
use Amazon pumps to
transfer petrol, petroleum
products, acids, chemicals or
caustic liquids.

Installation Instructions

An Amazon pump will become an integral part of
your bilge pumping system. Correct installation
of the whole system is essential if you want the
pump to perform properly, operate reliably and
safely, and to give satisfactory length of life.

1. Location

Your pump is delivered ready for installation, but all Amazon
pumps can be adapted by the installer to suit different types
of location.

▼ Select a location that allows you to pump comfortably for long

periods of time, preferably with the handle rocking vertically
towards and away from you at waist height.

▼ Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for you to use the full

stroke of the handle without injury to your hands and arms.

▼ You must be able to get easy access to the pump chamber and

both inlet and outlet valves in the event of a blockage occurring.

▼ For safety, locate the pump - whether above or below decks -

where you can operate it with all hatches and lockers fully
closed.

2. Mounting

For all models, except the Thrudeck, you will need the
appropriate number, type, diameter and length of bolts,
complete with nuts and washers, to mount the unit on the
deck. All should be in marine grade stainless steel or bronze,
and a small tube of silicone sealant will be required to seal
the bolts where they pass through the deck.

▼ The mounting surface must be flat and sufficiently strong so

that it does not flex when you are pumping hard.

3. Through Hull Fittings

If you are installing the pump as a bilge pump you will need
either a 25mm (1") id or 38mm (1

1

/2") id through hull fitting,

according to the particular model of pump.

▼ Follow the through hull fitting manufacturer's own instructions

concerning materials and methods of installation.

▼ Ensure that the through hull fitting will be above the waterline

at all times, whether the craft is at rest or underway, or heeling,
rolling or pitching.

4. Suction Inlet

The suction inlet must be located in the deepest part of the
bilges.

▼ To minimise the risk of a blockage you should fit an Amazon

Strainer.

▼ You must be able to get easy access to the suction inlet point in

the event of a blockage occurring.

▼ To maximise the efficiency of the pump you should have a non-

return valve close to the suction inlet. This prevents the water
that you have just lifted up the hose from falling back into the
bilge. (Amazon Bilge Strainers incorporate a non-return valve). If,
for any reason, you do not want to fit a strainer you should fit
an Amazon in-line, non-return valve as close to the suction inlet
as possible.

5. Pipework

You will need spiral reinforced smooth bore flexible hose for
both the inlet and outlet pipework, and a stainless steel
wormdrive hose clip for every hosetail connection (4 or
more).

▼ To maximise the efficiency of the pump ensure that the outlet

hose rises at least 30cm (12") after it leaves the pump. This
prevents the pump from sucking in air through the outlet hose.

▼ Avoid sharp bends in the pipework that may cause the hose to

become kinked.

▼ Keep all pipework lengths as short as possible. Unnecessary inlet

or outlet hose length makes the pump harder to operate.

▼ Secure the pipework so that the hoses cannot move and chafe,

and so that they do not exert any leverage on the hose tail
fittings to which they are connected.

▼ If it is difficult to fit the hose onto any hosetails, soften the hose

by dipping the end of it in hot water.

CAUTION: Do NOT apply flame to the hoses. Do NOT
apply flame or heat to any plastic hosetails.
Do NOT apply sealing compounds to any hose
connections.

▼ Secure the ends of all hoses to the hosetails with stainless steel

wormdrive hoseclips, ensuring that all inlet connections are
airtight and that all outlet connections are watertight.

6. Handle

Store the handle close to the pump in spring clips.

▼ Using the hole provided in the stainless steel handle, secure it

with a lanyard to the mounting surface of the pump.

Operating instructions

Amazon pumps are simple to operate.

▼ If your pump is installed through the deck, first swing the white

lid of the deck cover through 180° and snap it into its open
position.

▼ Then just insert the end of the pump handle into the socket on

the rocker arm, and move the handle backwards and forwards.

▼ For maximum efficiency, use even strokes through the full arc of

travel of the handle.

▼ Expect the pump to prime and begin to discharge after a few

strokes.

▼ After use, remove the handle and return it to its storage

position.

▼ Close the white lid of the deck cover.

zugänglich ist.

▼ Installare sempre le pompe in una posizione che consenta di usarle

per lunghi periodi e di sottoporle facilmente a manutenzione.

▼ Siempre instalar las bombas en una posición que permita

prolongados períodos de bombeo y donde exista acceso total para
el servicio de las mismas.

▼ Les pompes doivent toujours être installées dans un emplacement

permattant leur utilisation pendant des périodes prolongées,
et permettant un ácces integral pour effectuer leur entretien.

▼ Installera alltid pumparna så att de är lätta

pumpa och är helt åtkomliga för service.

▼ Plaats de pompen altijd zodanig dat u

langdurig kunt pompen en er makkelijjk bij
kan voor onderhoud.

2.

▼ Fix pumps to a flat surface.
▼ Die Pumpe auf einer ebenen Unterlage befestigen.
▼ Fissare le pompe su una superficie piatta.
▼ Montar las bombas en una surface plane.
▼ Fäst pumparna pä ett plant underlag.
▼ Bevestig de pompen open vlak oppervlak.

3.

▼ Secure detachable handles to the vessel by use of a lanyard.
▼ Den abnehmbaren Handgriff mit einem Taudende am Boot sichern.
▼ Attaccare I manici staccabili all’imbarcazione usando uno spezzone

di cima.

▼ Afianzar las manijas desmontables a la nave utilizando un

destornillador.

▼ Fixer les poignées amovibles au bateau au moyen d’un bout.
▼ Sätt fast det löstagbara handtaget I en klämma I närheten av

pumpen.

▼ Borg de uitneembare hendel aan het vaatuig met gebruik van een

koord.

4.

▼ Always use marine grade spiral reinforced hose (with smooth

internal bore) of the correct size for the pump.

▼ Einen spiral-verstärkten Schmutzwasserschlauch (mit glatter

Innenwandung) mit dem zur Pumpe passenden Innendurchmesser
verwenden.

▼ Usare sempre un tubo flessibile di tipo marino, rinforzato e a spirale

(con un’anima interna liscia), di dimensioni adatte alla pompa.

▼ Siempre usar mangueras reforzadas con espiral para uso marino

(con diámetro interior liso) del tamaño correcto.

▼ Toujours utiliser des flexibles renforcés à spirale (à pario intérieure

lisse) de diameter approprié.

▼ Använd alltid spiralarmerad marinslang

(med slat insida)
I rätt storlek.

▼ Gebruik altijd ‘marine grade’ spiral

versterkte slang (met gladde binnenzijde)
in de juiste maat voor de pomp.

5.

▼ Pipework runs should be kept as short and straight as possible,

avoiding rising and dipping over obstructions.

▼ Die verlegte Schlauchleitung sollte so kurz und so gerade wie

möglich sein. Auf- und absteigende Verlegung über Hindernisse ist
zu vermeiden.

▼ I tratti di tubatura dovrebbero essere corti e diritti al Massimo,

evitando che salgano e scendano a causa di ostruzioni.

▼ Los tramos de tuberia deben tan cortos y

rectos como sea posible, evitando subidas o
bajadas para sortear obstrucciones.

▼ Les canalisations doivent suivre un trajet

aussi droit et court que possible, et éviter
de passer au-dessus ou au-dessous des
obstacles éventuels.

▼ Slangarna skall hållas så raka och korta som möjligt.
▼ Leidingwerk moet zo kort en recht mogelijk gehouden worden.

Voorkom stijgen en dalen van pijp over obstakels.

6.

▼ All bilge pumps discharged overboard must be installed with the

overboard discharge well above both static and heeled
waterlines. (Sailboats normally discharge through the transom).

▼ Bei allen nach aussenbords entleerenden Bilgepumpen muß

der Borddurchlass auch bei Krängung oberhalb der Wasserlinie
liegen. (Bei Segelbooten normalerweise im Spiegal).

▼ Tutte le pompe di sentina che si scaricano fuori devono essere

installate con lo carico in acqua ben al di sopra della linea di
galleggiamento sia statica che inclinata. (Nelle barche a vela lo
scarico avviene normalmente attraverso l’arcaccia).

▼ Todas las bombas de carena con descarga al agua deben instalarse

con la descarga al amr bien por encima de
la línea de flotación estática e inclinada.
(Las embarcaciones a vela generalmente
descargan a través de yugo).

▼ L’évacuation de toutes les pompes de cale à

rejet en mer doit être située bien audessus
de la ligne de flottaison maximale (sur les
voiliers, l’évacuation se fait habituellement
à travers le tableau arrière).

▼ Alla länspumpar med utlopp överboord pompen moeten hun huid

doorlaat voldoende boven de waterlijn plaatsen. Houd rekening
met de maximum overhelling. (Zeilboten pompen normal
gesproken over het gangboord het lens water overboord).

7.

▼ For maximum efficiency raise discharge hose at least 30cm

(12”) after it leaves the pump.

▼ Die beste Förderleistung wird erzielt, wenn der Druckschlauch nicht

höher als 30 cm über der Pumpe nach aussen führt.

▼ Per la massima efficienza alzare il tubo di scario almeno di 30 cm

dopo aver lasciato la pompa.

▼ Para maxima eficacia elevar la descarge de manguera un mínimo de

30cm después de su salida de la bomba.

▼ Pour maximiser le rendement, le tuyua

d’évacuation ne droit commencer à
s’élever que 30cm au moins après la
sortie de la pompe.

▼ För bästa effektivitet bör slangen höjas

minst 30cm after utloppet från pumpen.

▼ Voor maximum doelmatigheid dient u de uitlaat slang na de pomp

minstens 30cm omhoog to leiden.

8.

▼ To minimise risk of blockage fit a strainer on the bilge end of the

pipework.

▼ Um das Risiko enien Verstopfung gering

zu halten, wird der Einbau eines
Saugkorbes in der Bilge empfohlen.

▼ Per minimizzare il rischio di blocco,

installare un filtro sull’estremità di sentina
della tubatura.

▼ Para reducer a un mínimo el riesgo de

obstucciones, colocar un filtro en el
extreme de carena de la tubería.

▼ Pour minimiser les risques d’obturation, monet une crépine sur

le côté find de cale de la tuyauterie.

▼ För blockeringsrisk bör en sil med backventil monteras på

slangens sugsida.

▼ Bevestig een zuigkorf aan het begin van de zuigslang, dit helpt

verstopping te voorkomen.
