Datasheet

INSTALLATION
LOCATION: Locate pump at deepest position in the bilge. Keep away from high heat source; engine, etc.
MOUNTING: Mount quick-disconnect bracket to hull or pad with stainless steel screws. Mount switch if
equipped. Do not drive screws through hull! TUBING: Route smooth I.D. discharge tubing to a thru-hull
fitting well above the water line. AVOID AIRLOCK & MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE: Avoid any sagging or
loops in the tubing. Tubing must go up from pump to thru-hull.
ELECTRICAL
Use 16GA wire for all circuits. If installation is over 20 feet, use 14GA wire. Brown pump wire must be
hooked to positive power for maximum flow. Wire is designed to prevent corrosion. PANEL SWITCH:
Attach all wires to UL Marine approved duty switch with auto-off-manual, rated at or above 10 amps.
FUSE: Install a fuse per pump label specifications . CONNECTIONS: Wire connections should be made
above highest possible water level. Seal wire connections to prevent corrosion and electrolysis.

the pump will automatically start. If the float becomes jammed with debris, the pump will NOT STOP
running. Turn the pump switch to the OFF position. Remove the debris. Reset switch to the automatic or
manual ON position. Test. SWITCH TEST: Turn power ON to pump switch. Use a quarter or flat head.
