INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Connect to a Power Source
NOTE: Please consult the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle before
proceeding.
IMPORTANT:
The pump is designed for use with a 12 V (dc) power
source. Do not attempt connection of any pump to a 24 V (dc), 115 V (ac) or
230 V (ac) power source.
Do not attempt to power the pump from vehicle wiring
smaller than 12 gauge, such as the cigarette lighter wire,
as these thin wires could overheat and
cause a fire.
IMPORTANT:
Verify switch is in OFF position (see Figure 9), then route
the electrical wires to the source of the vehicle power system. Be sure to
support the wires as necessary and protect them from sharp edges, heat or
anything that could damage the wires.
1. If the power cord provided is too long, cut to desired length. Using a
utility knife, carefully strip 3 to 4 inches of outer insulation from end of
power cord. DO NOT CUT INSULATION OF INNER WIRES. Next,
using wire strippers, remove 1/4 in. of insulation from the black and red
power cord wires.
2. First disconnect vehicle wiring from the negative ground terminal of
the battery, and then connect as follows: Using wire strippers, carefully
strip 1/4 in. of insulation from both ends of the fuse assembly wire.
3. Insert one end of the fuse assembly wire into a wire connector
(included) and crimp. Insert the red power cord wire into the other
end of the wire connector and crimp. Make sure the fuse assembly is
positioned outside of hazardous areas and as close to the battery as
possible (see Figure 8).
4. Using wire crimpers, attach a terminal post ring (not included) to the
other end of the fuse assembly and a terminal post ring to the end of
the black power cord wire.
5. Connect the red wire/fuse assembly to the positive side of the battery
(see Figure 8).
6. Connect the black power cord wire to the negative side of the battery.
NOTE: Connecting directly to the battery terminal or the end of the battery
cable is recommended.
