may damage the seal ring (22), which
depends on the liquid for its lubrication.
In cold weather, when the utility pump8. is not in use, protect the interior of the
pump from freezing by draining the
liquid and pumping a permanent type
automobile antifreeze containing a rust
inhibitor through the system. A 50%

used.
Lead-acid batteries generate10. hydrogen gas during normal
operation. Hydrogen gas is:
explosive and highly ammable.
If connecting the utility pump temporarily11. to a lead-acid battery, wear ANSI
approved, safety impact eye goggles.
Avoid contact with battery acid. If12. splashed, immediately wash affected
area with clean water. Continue washing
area until medical help is available.
If the utility pump is used on a boat, turn13. off the boat ignition before making power
cord (1) connections.
If used on a boat, always connect the14. red
power cord (1) on the utility pump to the
positive (+) side of the boat’s 12 volt DC
electrical system.
Connect the15. black power cord (1) on the
utility pump to the negative (--) side of
the boat’s 12 volt electrical system.
When connecting the power cords (1) to16. the boat’s 12 volt DC electrical system,
connect the red power cord . Then,
connect the black power cord. When
disconnecting the power cords from
the electrical system, disconnect
the black power cord rst. Then,
disconnect the red power cord.
Turn the boat’s ignition switch to its “off”17. position and disconnect the utility pump

*Note: For optimal performance, the
suction hose (not included) I.D.
must be at least the same size as the
suction ange and free of air leaks.
All joints and connections of the suction
hose should be securely tightened to
prevent air from entering the suction
side. Use a good grade suction hose
that will not collapse.
In addition, the height from the inlet
to the pump and then the height from
the outlet to the discharge will greatly
impact pump performance.
