CAUTION:
“Intermittent Duty” is defined as; operated and/or frequently started within a period of time that would cause the motor to reach its
maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is obtained, the motor must be allowed to return to ambient temperature
before resuming operation.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use to pump flammable liquids. Never operate the pump in an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor brushes, switch
or excessive heat from an improperly cycled motor may cause an explosion.
CAUTION:
Toprevent electrical shock,disconnect power beforeinitiating any work.In the case of pump failure, the motor housing and/or the
pumpedfluid may carry highvoltage to components normally considered safe.
CAUTION:
Improper adjustment of the pressure switch andby-pass,maycause severe overload or prematurefailure. Referto “about the by-pass”
section for adjustment details. Failures due to improper adjustment of the pressure switch and by-pass willnot be covered under the
limited warranty.
CAUTION:
DO NOT locate the motor near low temperatureplasticsor combustible materials. The surface of the motormayexceed 250°F
[120°C]. The pump may be mounted in any position. However, if mounting the pump vertically the pump head should be in the down
position so that in the event of a leak, fluid will not enter the motor. Secure the rubber feet with #8 hardware. DO NOT compress the
feet,doing so willreduce their abilityto isolate vibration/noise.
CAUTION:
All 115 VAC pump motors and systems, MUST be grounded per local and state electrical codes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SHURflo realizes that in many instances our pump is being installedas a replacementpump within an existing plumbing system.The
following guidelines should be considered to achieve optimum pump operation. Always follow all local or national installation codes and
standards.
MOUNTING:
•The best mounting position is at the same level or below the water tank. It may positioned above the water tank if
needed, as it is capable of a 6ft. [1.8M] vertical prime. Mount the pump within 6 feet total for best performance.
•Mount in a location that allows access for maintenance of the pump and strainer. The pump should be located in a
ventilated apace. Excessive heat may trigger the integral thermal breaker and interrupt operation. When the
temperature drops the breaker will automatically reset and start operation.
•The pump may be mounted in any position.
•Choose a solid surface (thick plywood) that will not amplify pump operation. The mounting feet are intended to isolate
the pump from the mounting surface; over tightening, flattering or use of oversize screws will reduce the ability to
isolate vibration and noise through the lines.
ELECTRICAL:
The pump should be on a dedicated (individual circuit), protected by the specified fuse or circuit breaker indicated on the motor
label.
PLUMBING:
Installation of a strainer is required to prevent debris from entering the pump. For noise and vibration reduction we recommend
at least 18 in. [.5
M ] of 1/2" [13mm] I.D. flexible high-pressure hose to both ports. The pump ports and strainer should not be

Page | 3
connected to plastic or rigid pipe. This hose should be anchored where it meets the hard plumbing to reduce plumbing vibration.
OPERATION:
This pump is designed for intermittent duty only. The pump operates normally up to about 40-psi, where a spring-loaded by-pass
valve opens, allowing flow back from the output side to the input side, providing smooth, steady flow with virtually no cycling, all
the way down to a trickle. As a faucet is opened back up, the pressure will drop, the by-pass will close and full flow is again
obtained. This allows good flow, even with today’s restrictive showers and pullout sprayer faucets. Performance will vary, of
course, depending on the voltage to the pump; lower voltage = lower flow, higher voltage = higher flow. Remember your
electrical safety: It is always best to shut power to the pump OFF when leaving the RV unattended.
About the By-Pass NOTE: By-pass adjustment should only be performed by a qualify technician with proper
gauges and equipment. The by-pass is a spring loaded diaphragm that opens up allowing water from the discharge side back
to the inlet side. The by-pass is set to begin opening at about 40 psi and creating full by-pass at about 62 psi. The pressure
switch on the pump is set to shut off at 55 psi. If the switch or by-pass are adjusted too much, the by-pass and switch shut-off
can overlap and THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. Screwing the switch screw in clockwise will raise the shut-off pressure.
Unscrewing the switch screw counterclockwise will lower the pump shut-off pressure. Screwing the by-pass screw in will raise
the pressure at which the by-pass starts and raise the full by-pass pressure. Unscrewing the by-pass screw counterclockwise
will lower the pressure at which by-pass starts and lower the full by-pass pressure. WARNING: If full by-pass is reached
before the shut-off setting, the pump will not shut off. Full by-pass pressure setting should be at least 10 psi higher than
pump shut off pressure.
Sanitizing
Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to keep components working properly and deliver a consistent flow of fresh
water. Sanitizing is recommended: prior to storing, after a period of storage, or any time the system is opened or contaminated,
as follows: NOTE: Check your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for specific instructions. By-pass anyfilters or remove filter
cartridges.
1. Determine the amount of common household bleach needed to sanitize the tank.
A)2 ounces of bleachper 15 gallons tank size: 60gallon tank [15 x 4] = 4 x 2 ounces =8 ounces of bleach.
B) I ml bleach per 1 liter tank size: 300 liter tank = 300 milliliters of bleach.
2. Mix the bleach with water in a container such as a gallon jug. If tank is filled through a pressurized fitting, pour the bleach into
the hose before attaching the hose to the city water entry.
3. Pour thebleachsolution into the tank and fill the tank with potable water. Rock the RV back and forth tocoat top and sides of
potablewatertank.
4. Open all faucets (Hot & Cold) allowing the water to run until the odor of chlorine is detected. Allow four (4) hours of
contact time to disinfect completely. Doubling the solution concentration allows for a contact time of one (1) hour.
5. Drain the tank. Refill the tank and flush the system once or twice until the odor has decreased. The residual chlorine
odor and taste is not harmful.
Winterizing Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for specific winterizing instructions.
If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the plumbing and pump may occur. Failures of this type will void the
warranty. The best guarantee against damage is to completely drain the pump and perform the following:
1. Drain the water tank. If the tank doesn't have a drain valve, open all faucets allowing the pump to operate until the tank is
empty.
2. Open all the faucets (including the lowest valve or drain in the plumbing), allow the pump to purge the water from the
plumbing, and then turn the pump OFF.
3. Using a pan to catch the remaining water, remove the plumbing at the pump's inlet/outlet ports. Turn the pump ON,
allowing it to operate until the water is expelled. Turn OFF power to the pump once the plumbing is emptied. Do not
reconnect the pump plumbing. Make a note at tank filler as a reminder: "Plumbing is disconnected".
4. All faucets must be left open to guard against any damage.
5. Potable anti-freeze maybe poured down drains and toilets to protect p-traps and toilet seals. Sanitize the plumbing system
before putting the plumbing system back in service.
Troubleshooting:
Vibration induced by driving can loosen plumbing, strainers and pump hardware. Check for system components that are loose. Also,
refer to the chart below for trouble-shooting tips.
PUMP WILL NOT START / BLOWS CIRCUIT: PUMP WILL NOT SHUT-OFF / RUNS WHEN FAUCET IS CLOSED:
 Electrical connections, fuse or breaker, main switch, and ground connection.  Output side (pressure) plumbing for leaks, and inspect for leaky valves or toilet.
 Is the motor hot? Thermal breaker may have triggered; it will reset when cool.  For air trapped in outlet side (water heater) or pump head.
 Is voltage present at the switch? Bypass pressure sw. Does the pump operate?  For correct voltage to pump (±10%).
 Charging System for correct voltage (±10%) and good ground.  For loose drive assembly or pump head screws.
 For an open or grounded circuit, or motor; or improperly sized wire.  Are the valves held open by debris or is the rubber swollen?

