APPLICATION
Use for bilge pumping and general pumping requirements. For inter-
mittent duty, motor may be reversed to empty bait tank.
Pump has a dry prime suction lift of about 6 feet (1.8m) and a lift to 20
feet (6.1m) when primed. BE SURE SUCTION LINES ARE AIRTIGHT.
INSTALLATION
The pump must be mounted in a dry location—the motor is not water-
proof and must not be submerged. Selection of a cool ventilated loca-
tion will generally extend pump motor life. The unit can be mounted
in any desired position. It is best to mount so that water dripping from
loose port connection will not wet the motor. The pump head may be
rotated 180° on the motor to change the direction of flow.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Pump ports have external 1" hose barb and internal 1/2" pipe threads.
Also provided are two male port adapters to allow the attachment of
3/4" female garden hose fittings. Use hose that does not kink when
bent and with sufficient wall thickness to prevent collapse when used
on suction side of pump. Hoses should be routed so that some water
will be retained in pump body to wet the impeller. Wetting the impeller
aids in priming and extends impeller life. Use a strainer on the intake
hose to stop trash and solids from going through the pump. All hoses
must have airtight connections to enable faster priming.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard. Do not pump
gasoline, solvents, thinners or other flammable
liquids with flash point below 100°F (37.8°C).
WARNING: Explosion Hazard. Do not operate
with rivets removed from motor case. Explosion
resulting in personal injury, death or property
sealed to avoid explosion and maintain ignition
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
operated in an area containing flammable vapors, motor
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
CAUTION: Electrical wiring should be performed by a
qualified and competent electrician, in accordance with all
Connect black wire to negative (–) terminal of battery. The orange wire
should run to a properly sized (see electrical specifications) overload
protected switch or circuit breaker, with a wire from switch or breaker to
positive (+) terminal of battery. Electrical circuit must be independent
of all other accessories. A reversing switch may be used to reverse the
pump (JABSCO Part Number 18753-0652). Preferred motor rotation is
clockwise looking at shaft end of motor. To prolong motor life, install
pump so normal motor rotation is clockwise. Use proper wire size as
determined by wire table.
OPERATION
Flexible impeller pumps must NOT be run dry, as the pumped liquid is
the lubricant for the impeller. Observe the outlet and shut off pump as
soon as liquid stops flowing. An automatic level switch is convenient to
control the pump in some applications.
The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as encountered
when using a garden hose type shut-off nozzle.
Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 20 feet (6.1 m) of head
8.7 psi (.6 Bar). Temperature of pumped liquid may be in the range of
45° - 180°F (7° - 82°C).
