BP12 Single Stage Electric Pump
BP12 works on 12 volt DC (battery) power. Single-stage indicates that it has a piston pump inside. It does not work as a deflator. It can be used with a Sea Eagle battery or any 12 volt battery with 7 amp hour or more rating including auto and marine batteries. Because pump draws 20 amps of current, it cannot be used with a vehicle’s accessory outlet.
Warning! Do not run pump more than 15 minutes continuously as this can
cause overheating and damage.
Warning! Use pump away from the water and protect from rain to avoid
electrical short.
Warning! Do not leave running unattended.
Danger! Keep out of reach of children.
Danger! To avoid injury from moving parts, engine should not be running
when connecting to car or truck battery.
Danger! Do not connect pump if you smell gas. A spark could ignite a
fire.

BP12 Single Stage Electric Pump | SETUP
BP12
Includes the storage bag with multiple compartments, alligator clips and
inflation hose with adapter
Adapter:
Hook-In style adapter is intended for use with recessed valve with a stem.
Groove in red gasket must be facing outward. Pull gasket off and reverse it if necessary. Gasket may be stiff upon first use, stretch or kneed gasket to soften it.
Screw the other end of hose onto red inflation port on the end of pump. An access hole with protective flap allows hose to be attached without taking pump out of bag
Power Cord
Use power cord to connect pump to a 12v battery. The middle compartment of bag
is for stowing power cord. A passthrough hole in the bag divider allows for
connection to the pump.
Push wire quick connect into pump quick connect until they click together. To disconnect, press the catch piece on top and pull apart.
Auto or Marine Battery
Connect the black clamp to the black (-) terminal or a metal grounding point.
Connect red clamp to red (+) terminal. Refer to auto’s owner’s manual for
details about the battery. Remember: “Red to Red, Black to Black.” If needed,
split the wire more by pulling the clamps apart. The black band can be slid
down too.
Warning! Check carefully, on some batteries it can be difficult to see
the markings. Most automobile red (+) terminals are clearly marked.
Danger! Connecting to the wrong terminals could cause wires to get hot.
Do not grab hot wire, clamps are non-conductive plastic and should remain
cool. If in doubt, knock clamp off with a shoe or other non-conductive item or
pull pump by its hose.
Sea Eagle Battery Kit(Optional)
- Quick Connector
- Charging Port
- Fuse protection
Place the battery in the middle compartment of the carry bag. A passthrough hole in the bag divider allows for connection to the pump. Push quick connectors together. 1
Plug the charger into an outlet (120v). The LED indicator light will show green. Insert the charger wire into the battery charging port 2 Warning! Use only charger supplied with battery.
LED will show red when the battery is charging. Charging is complete when light turns from red to green. Charging time is usually half-an-hour, but may take three or more hours.
Recessed Valve
Valve stem must be in UP (valve closed) position. Insert adapter into the
valve and twist to the right. The “hooks” on the adapter will lock it into
place.
Set pressure
Turn dial until pointer indicates desired pressure. Photo shows 3.2 PSI.
Yellow numbers are PSI, white numbers are bars (metric). Sea Eagle pressure
settings are listed to the right, or check boat owner’s manual for correct
setting.
Press the ON button to begin inflation. The pump automatically stops once the pressure is met. Do not turn off pump.
Keep pump in carry bag to make transportation easy and to protect the pump
from sand.
Warning: Do not run pump for more than 15 minutes. Allow 20 minutes for
cool down before restarting.

PSI Settings for Sea Eagle Boats:
PSI for: FastTracks, Explorers, PaddleSki, 285fpb, STS10, FoldCat & Sport
Runabouts 10 PSI for: Travel Canoe, RazorLites 5-10 PSI for: RescueBoard

Automobile Battery Accessibility Some autos, like Jeep Grand Cherokee,
have convenient positive and negative studs so it is not necessary to clamp
onto the battery. On other autos, like Ford Escape, the
negative terminal is inaccessible so the negative clamp must be attached to a
steel body component like the nearby strut tower nut. Some auto batteries are
difficult to access; the Toyota Prius’ battery is in the trunk, and some
imports have the battery under the rear seat.
Dedicated Battery
A 12 volt, 7 amp hour battery used in some home alarm systems and emergency
lighting systems will work well as a battery for the pump. These may be
available to buy locally or online. If you purchase a battery and charger, the
power wire with clamps must be used. The battery terminal tabs may have to be
bent upward on the battery for the clamps to work. An off the shelf battery &
charger may be inexpensive compared to Sea Eagle’s battery and charger but
they are less convenient.
Additional Info: Sea Eagle Battery Kit
Read the manufacturer’s Operating Instructions for the Battery Charger which
are including the battery shipping box. When tested with a voltmeter, a
properly working charger will show 14.7v output until a resistance is placed
against it. Unplug charger from wall when not connected to a battery. There is
enough capacity in a charged battery to fill two or more inflatables. Pump
will work with charged battery, it will not work off charger alone.
Taking Care of the Sea Eagle Battery
The battery is a lead dry-cell battery. Fully charge before first use. Regular
discharge and recharge is good for the battery. Recharge the battery as soon
as practical after each use. Leaving the battery drained causes permanent
damage.Charge occasionally during a long storage period. Do not run the
battery all the way down, doing so will shorten battery life
Troubleshooting
Problem: Pump does not shut off when inflating. Remove hose. Connect pump to
power source. Turn on and cover red (out) port to block airflow. If pump shuts
off, it is in working condition. If pump does not shut off, call Sea Eagle
Customer Service, a replacement is needed. Problem: Pump smells like it is
burning. Turn pump off and do not try to restart. Unplug from power supply.
Call Sea Eagle Customer Service. Problem: Pump no longer pumps air and is
making unusual noise. Pumping mechinism has broken, call Sea Eagle Customer
Service. Problem: Battery Charger Light flashes red. A red flashing light
usually means a problem with the battery. Leave it plugged in for a while to
see if it will accept a charge. Flashing light may also mean that something
minor is wrong with the LED but the charger works. Call Sea Eagle if it does
not accept a charge. Problem: Battery Charger Light Stays Red If the charger
and battery have been plugged into a wall outlet for a period time, but the
light stays red, unplug and replug the charger wire. If the light changes to
green and stays green, the charge is complete. No action is needed. When
calling Sea Eagle Customer Service, please have pump, hose, adapter and power
supply available for testing and troubleshooting.
