KNOW YOUR PRODUCT
1. INSTALLATION GUIDE
• Pump is suitable for use with fresh and salt water applications.
• The pump can be used for portable or permanent applications
Portable Applications
1. Prior to immersing the pump in water
determine the depth of water for the
length of hose required.
Note: Calculate overall hose length to pump
to the desired location
2. Attach a ø19mm hose (not supplied) to
the discharge outlet and fasten with a
stainless steel clamp (not supplied). It
is recommended that you use a good
quality hose that will not kink when
making sharp bends.
3. Determine the desired location for the
pump. It is best located where the water
is potentially deepest, ie., at the lowest
possible level of the area to be drained
4. Ensure that the hose is
positioned in a way that runs
level or continuously upward.
This will eliminate the chance of
air pockets developing.
Note: Restricting the ow from
the pump by using a smaller
hose does not damage the pump
however, it will reduce the ow.

WARNING!: ENSURE THE TOOL IS TURNED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

Permanent Applications
1. Determine the desired location and position for the pump. Refer
“Portable Applications”.
2. Remove the strainer from the
bottom of the pump by depressing
the strainer tabs, on both sides of
the pump.
3. Mount the pump on the strainer so
that both lock tabs snap into place.
(the pump may be reversed on these
tabs if so desired).
4. Attach hose. Refer “Portable Applications”
2. WIRING
IMPORTANT!: ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING
IS SECURED IN PLACE WITH THE CONNECTIONS WELL
ABOVE THE POTENTIAL WATER LEVEL.
• If attaching the strainer to
metal or breglass, rst
mount a wooden block to
the surface, and then fasten
the strainer to the wooden
block.
CAUTION: THE STRAINER MUST ALWAYS BE
PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE ATTACHING AND
RUNNING PUMP.
• If attaching the strainer to
wood, fasten with stainless
steel screws (not included).
Wiring for Manual Operation
The manual system is the simplest system but it only provides
ON-OFF control of the pump. Consequently, pumps are often left ON
longer than necessary.

• RED wire − positive (+)

If battery is grounded, the fuse should be connected to the positive
(red wire +) side.
WARNING!: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE
PROPERLY INSULATED TO PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITS.

Wiring for Automatic Operation
For automatic operation,
a oat switch (available from
specialized outlets) can be
installed. A oat switch detects
the rising level of water and
turns on the submersible
pump. The pump then pumps
the water out until its level has
been substantially reduced,
at which point the pump
is switched off again. The
automatic system assures that the area is always pumped out, even
when unattended. It extends the life of the pump and your battery.
The automatic system also provides for manual control of the pump,
as it includes an ON/OFF switch.

Lift end of oat switch up - if pump runs,
switch is OK. If pump does not run, turn
manual switch to on position - if pump
runs, automatic switch has failed.

Something
under the oat
(if connected)
Clean under the oat to make sure
debris is not holding the oat up.
Stuck oat (if
connected).
Check to see that the oat is loose
moves freely. If oat action appears
sluggish and/or the oat does not
move freely, intermittent or sporadic
operation of the pump may occur. This
condition is usually the result of oil and/
or dirt accumulating in and around the
movable parts of the switch. To correct,
clean the switch, checking for smooth
and free operation of the oat. Repeat if
necessary
IMPORTANT.
Switch mounted
too low
If the pump is sucking air and the
automatic switch has not reached the
OFF position, then the switch may be
mounted too low for the pump and
should be reinstalled at least 6mm higher
than the pump base.

SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off
in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future
reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save these instructions
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate pumps in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Pumps create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pump. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
When using 12 Volt equipment, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
a. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the pump. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
b. The electric motor has been designed for 12V only. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a pump. Do not use a pump while you are tired or under the
inuence of drugs,alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating pumps may result in serious personal injury.
b. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying pumps with your nger on the switch or plugging in pumps
that have the switch on invites accidents.
c. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pump on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the pump may result in personal injury.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
4. Pump use and care
a. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing pumps. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the pump accidentally.
b. Maintain pumps. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the pumps
operation. If damaged, have the pump repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained pumps.
c. Use the pump, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
pump,taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the pump for operations different from intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your pump serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.
CAUTION: Not intended for cleaning and other maintenance of swimming pools.
Do not use it for corrosive, abrasive, explosive or dangerous liquids. Fluids other than
water will damage the submersible pump and/or create a re hazard.
