Description

This non-automatic submersible utility pump is designed to remove water in multiple applications including Marine, home, outdoors, camping/rv, hunting, farm, and more. The pump comes equipped with battery clips and an on/off switch.

Specifications

• For continuous operation, the water depth must be at least 6″ (15cm) to prevent the motor from overheating.

Simple and easy to use

Installation

1. Install the pump on a hard-level surface in the water. If necessary, place bricks or patio blocks under the pump to raise it off the bottom. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand or silt or on rocky surfaces as these materials can clog or cause damage to the pump.
2. Connect a hose to the pump discharge. Use either the supplied garden hose adapter or other hose fitting (sold separately). Choose the best-size hose or pipe for your application. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 3/4″

Operation

1. Connect the red alligator clip to the positive (+) on the battery*.
2. Connect the black alligator clip to the negative (-) on the battery*.
3. Turn on the pump power switch
4. The pump will start pumping in approximately 1″ of water and will drain down to approximately 1/8″-1/4″ of the surface.
5. Do not let the pump run Without water dey cause the mer for oving at carisa in a pera tine the pats. It may also shorten the life of your pump.
6. This pump is equipped with an anti-airlock hole. A stream of water will emit from this hole when the pump is operating. This is a normal feature of this pump. The anti-airlock hole should be cleaned periodically to prevent the pump from becoming air locked.
7. This pump is not recommended for pumping liquids over 120° F (49° C). Normal operation is for fluids between 32° F & 120° F (0° C- 49° C).
8. Once done pumping, turn off the power switch

Airlock
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail. This pump has an anti-airlock hole in the bottom of the pump housing. If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or piece of wire, and restart the pump.

• WARNING All repairs must be made by an authorized service center.
• CAUTION Allow the pump to cool for 2-3 hours before servicing.

1. The pump motor is hermetically sealed in the housing and does not require any service. Disassembly of the motor housing or modification of the power cord voids the warranty.
2. Periodically check the removable intake screen for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
3. Inspect the impeller for signs of wear and obstructions.
4. Inspect the power cord and alligator clamps for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the pump if the cord is damaged or worn.

Performances
Height, pipe diameter restriction, and hose length will reduce the pump output performance. It is recommended to use the same size or larger pipe/hose as the pump discharge for optimum performance. The performances listed below were obtained by using 1-1/4″ pipe. The use of a garden hose will reduce the output depending on the size and length of the hose used. To keep friction loss as low as possible, the hose should be 5/8″ or larger. Use the shortest length of hose possible for your application.

• Performance-based on a fully charged 12-volt battery, not included

Troubleshooting

DANGER Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.

12 Volt Battery Information
