GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. This equipment is only for use with an automotive,

tractor or marine type battery fully charged to 12
Volts DC.

To reduced the risk of electric shock,

disconnect wiring before servicing. Do not lift the

pump by the power cord.

2. Know the pump application, limitations, and poten­tial hazards.

3. Do not use in water where fish are present to avoid

obstructing the intake.

4. Before Servicing:
Disconnect the cables from the battery.
Release all pressure within the system.
Drain all water from the system.

5. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
An unsecured discharge line can whip, possibly caus­ing personal injury and/or property damage.

6. Check the discharge hose before each use, making
certain all connections are secure, and that the hose
is not kinked.

7. Periodically inspect the pump and system compo­nents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.

8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working

with the pump.

b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly

lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.

c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work

PERFORMANCE

INSTALLATION

1. Power Supply: Pump must be used only with a 12
Volt DC battery, or a direct current power supply. Do
not connect to 120VAC.

2. Place the pump in the water on a hard surface.

3. Install a check valve between the pump discharge
port and the discharge hose adapter to prevent back­ward flow through the pump when the pump shuts
off. See Figure 1.

4. Connect the discharge hose.

NOTICE: Do not allow the pump to sit in dirt or
sand. This will cause rapid wear of the pump.

5. Be sure the discharge line is open.

6. Connect the motor lead wires as indicated in Table I
and as shown in Figure 2.

NOTICE: One of two cordsets is supplied with the
pump. To determine which wire is negative and
which is positive, refer to the wire labels. Fuse in on
the positive wire. Wire color does not matter.

In order for the pump to run in the proper direction
and prevent harm to the pump, the wires must be
connected correctly.

Operation / Repair Parts 4

OPERATION

Risk of electric shock. Before attempting to
check why a unit has stopped operating, disconnect the
battery from the unit. Do not handle a pump or pump

motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water. Do not use this pump in marine

applications.

1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do

not operate the pump unless it is pumping water. The
seal will be damaged if the pump is allowed to run
dry. Pump water only.

2. The pump motor must be connected to a fully

charged automotive, tractor or marine type battery of
the proper voltage, or a direct current, full wave recti­fying 12 Volt power supply with a filter, to smooth
out any current surges.

3. Do not use a battery charger to power this pump.

BATTERY OPERATION

Fire or Explosion Hazard. Follow the bat­tery manufacturer’s recommendations for the mainte­nance and safe use of the battery. The battery can cause

a fire if the battery terminals are short circuited. Never
allow the DC terminals to touch each other. Take special
care NOT to touch the battery cable clamps together or
to drop a tool (wrench) across the terminals. This will
“short circuit” the battery.

• Keep sparks and flames away from the battery.

• Use the battery in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.

• Do not allow children to play around the battery.

Severe Burn Hazard. Battery acid is corro­sive and can cause severe burns and blindness. Do not

spill on skin or clothing. Always wear eye, skin and hand
protection when working with the battery.
