INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Remove shipping plugs from pump ports. Some water from factory testing may spill out.
STEP 2. Connect ttings supplied with the pump to your hoses. If using the slip-on barb
connections use hose clamps.
STEP 3. Mount pump horizontally or vertically. Read mounting instructions below.
STEP 4. Install inlet and outlet port connectors. Do not overtighten.
STEP 5. Install the strainer in an accessible location between the tank and pump inlet. This
strainer or equivalent is recommended.
MOUTING
(Please read before completing steps)
• The pump can be at the same level or below the water tank. It may be positioned above the
water tank if needed, as it is capable of a 6ft. (1.8m) vertical prime. Horizontal inlet tubing will
allow priming to 30ft (9m)
• Consider a dry location that allows easy access if maintenance is required. The pump should
not be located in an area of less than one cubic foot unless adequate ventilation is provided.
Excessive heat may trigger the integral thermal breaker and interrupt operation. When the
temperature drops the breaker will automatically reset and start proration.
• The pump can be mounted horizontally or vertically. If mounting of the pump vertically, the
pump head should be in the down position.
• The mounting feet are intended to isolate the pump from the mounting surface; over-
tightening, attening, or use of oversized screws will reduce the ability to isolate vibration
and noise through the lines.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Solid surface
• Accessible location away from living quarters
• Properly sized wiring
• Proper electrical protection
• Strainer on plumbing elbows and valves near the pump
• Minimize ow restrictions in the system
WIRING
STEP 1. Use 14 gauge stranded wire to 20’, 12 gauge to 50’ from power source.
STEP 2. Use a 10-15 amp rated on-o switch on the (+) (red) motor lead
STEP 3. Install a 10 amp fuse protection on the positive lead.
ELECTRICAL
(Please read before completing steps)
• The pump should be on a dedicated (individual) circuit protected by the specied fuse
indicated on the motor label.
• A U/L, CE etc. approved marine duty (ignition protected) switch rated at above 15 amps is
recommended and must interrupt current ow on the positive (+ red) lead.
• The pump must be grounded to a known ground (battery). The ground wire must be the
same size (gauge/Mm2) as the positive wire.
• Wire sizing: Proper wire sizing is required for good pump operation. If the wire is too small,
low voltage will aect the pump performance and can create re hazard.
• The total current draw on the circuit must not exceed 15 amps. If the pump is used in
conjunction with other components, overload current protection (fuse or circuit breaker) and
wire size must be for the total amp requirements of all devices on the circuit.
