ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
NOTICE: To prevent motor damage, use only multistrand marine
copper wire in size recommended. DO NOT use ordinary lamp cord
or other substitutes.
The Ballast Puppy should be wired to the Polarity Reversing Switch
(provided) through an over-current protected distribution panel fit-
ted with a 20 amp breaker or fuse. This circuit should be dedicated
to the Ballast Puppy and free of any other accessories.
The Polarity Reversing Switch requires that both positive and
negative conductors be run from the power source to the switch
as well as both positive and negative conductors run from the
pump to the switch. These conductors must be sized to match the
recommended wire size in the Electrical Specification Chart for the
total length of the circuit (the sum of the length of all positive and
negative conductors). Use positive locking type wire connectors
(crimp type butt connectors) to complete all connections at the
pump and reversing switch. Use only quality marine grade multi-
strand copper wire of the proper size as determined from the
Electrical Specification Chart below.

MAINTENANCE
Check wires and connections to be sure corrosion is not adding ad-
ditional resistance to the motor circuit and causing a low voltage
condition at the motor. Low voltage can inhibit motor from starting
and/or reversing and cause fuse to blow. Full voltage should be
available to prevent motor damage.
NOTICE: If pump is idle for extended periods, the impeller may
stick to the pump body, preventing motor rotation and causing
blown fuses. To correct, remove end cover and impeller, clean
body and impeller, then lubricate with water or small amounts of
non-petroleum-based grease before assembly.
If pump is to be in freezing temperatures, drain by loosening end
cover screws.
A Service Kit, or at least spare impellers, should be carried aboard
to be assured of pumping capability.

OPERATION
The Ballast Puppy is reversible so it can both add liquid ballast and
then pump it back overboard when ready to lighten the load. The
stylish double throw reversing switch (provided) is intended to be
mounted in a convenient, easily accessible location for quick and
easy ballast control. The pump can fill a typical forty gallon tank in
about 5 – 6 minutes.
When ready to add ballast, simply flip the switch to the fill position
and watch for indicators that the tank is full, then switch the
pump off. To reduce the ballast load, flip the switch to the drain
position and the pump will reverse itself to pump liquid ballast
back overboard. To fully empty tank, just leave the pump in the
drain position and monitor the tank level so that the pump can
be turned off when the tank is empty. Alternatively, simply pay
attention to the sound made by the pump and when the frequen-
cy changes (higher pitch) and it gets louder, that is an indication
the tank is empty and the pump should be turned off. However, if
for some reason attendants become distracted and do not notice
the change in pump sound or that the tank is empty, the Jabsco
Ballast Puppy is equipped with an exclusive Run-Dry Protection
Device (patent pending) to prevent serious impeller damage. This
Run-Dry Protection Device senses the absence of water and after
a short period of sustained run-dry operation will shut-off the
pump before the impeller is badly damaged. The delay in run-dry
operation before pump shutdown provides adequate time for
initial pump priming when filling the ballast tank.
The Ballast Puppy is designed for intermittent duty cycles only.
It is capable of filling most ballast tanks in about 5 – 6 minutes
motor
and can be immediately reversed to empty the tank if urgent
de-ballasting is required. However, after about twenty minutes of
continuous running the Run-Dry Protection Device will interrupt
power to the pump and cause the pump to shutdown. The pump
would then need to cool off for about twenty minutes before
normal operation will resume.
The pump cannot run against a closed outlet as may be encoun-
tered when installed in systems with valves to regulate flow.
Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 20 feet of head
(8.7 psi).
