ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect black wire to negative (-) terminal of battery.
The orange wire should run to a properly sized (see elec-
trical specification) overload protected switch or circuit
breaker, with a wire from switch or breaker to a positive
(+) terminal of battery. Electrical circuit must be indepen-
dent of all other accessories. To prolong motor life, install
pump so normal motor rotation is clockwise. Use proper
wire size as determined by wire table elsewhere on this
sheet.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
The intake and outlet ports have internal 3/4” pipe
threads. Brass or plastic pipe fittings may be used to suit
the installation. Plastic fittings that may be subject to
cracking due to vibration should not be used below the
the waterline. PTFE pipe joint tape or compound should
be used if brass fittings are installed in pump. Hose
maybe used with common pipe adapter installed in the
pump ports.

OPERATION
The pump may be run dry for short periods of time.
Running without liquid allows heat to build up between
seal and shaft, thus shortening seal life. The pump can
run against a closed outlet such as encountered when
using a garden hose type shut-off nozzle. Small particles
of trash and debris will pass through the pump, though
an intake strainer should be fitted if excessive problems
are encountered with pump clogging.
WARNING
!
Explosion hazard. If pump is operated
in an area containing flammable vapors,
wire leads must be joined by insulated
mechanical locking connectors. Loose
or inadequate wire connections can
spark resulting in an explosion. Property
damage, injury or death can occur.
Motor runs hot; about 180
°
is normal
temperature. Prolonged contact
during operation can cause a burn.
