BTP12 Two Stage Electric Pump
BTP12 is a very ecient two stage pump.“Two stage” indicates that it is two pumps in one: a high volume fan that automatically
switches to a high pressure piston pump. The pump can also be used as a deator. Use with a Sea Eagle Battery Kit or any 12 volt
battery with 7 amp hour or more rating, including auto and marine batteries.
Because pump draws 20 amps of current, it cannot be used with a vehicle’s accessory outlet.
Warning: Do not run pump more than 20 minutes continuously as this can cause overheating and damage.
Warning: Use pump away from the water and protect from rain to avoid electrical short.
Warning: Do not leave running unattended.
Danger: Keep out of reach of children.
Danger: To avoid injury from moving parts, engine should not be running when connecting to car or truck battery.
Danger: Do not connect pump if you smell gas. A spark could ignite a re.
Specications: BTP12 Inator/Deator with Manometer
Electrical Draw: 12 volts, 20 amps
Maximum Pressure: approx. 14.5 psi (1 bar)
Air Output: Stage 1: Low Pressure Mode, 450 L/min Turbine (Fan)
Stage 2: High Pressure Mode, 160 L/min Piston Pump
Manometer Automatic Stop
Working Cycle: 20 minutes on/20 minutes cool down

Push wire quick connect
into pump quick connect
until they click together. To
disconnect, press the catch
piece on top and pull apart.
Power Cord
Use power cord to
connect pump to a 12v
battery. The middle
compartment of bag is
for stowing power cord.
A passthrough hole in the
bag divider allows for
connection to the pump.
Auto or Marine Battery
Connect the black clamp to
the black (-) terminal or a metal
grounding point. Connect red
clamp to red (+) terminal. Refer
to auto’s owner’s manual for
details about the battery.
Remember: “Red to Red, Black
to Black.”
If needed, split the wire more
by pulling the clamps apart.
The black band can be slid
down too.
Warning: Check carefully, on some batteries it can
be dicult to see the markings. Most automobile red
(+) terminals are clearly marked.
Danger: Connecting to the wrong terminals could
cause wires to get hot. Do not grab hot wire, clamps are
non-conductive plastic and should remain cool.
If in doubt, knock clamp o with a shoe or other
non-conductive item or pull pump by its hose.

The “hooks” on the adapter
will lock it into place.
Set pressure

are listed to the right, or
check boat owner’s manual
for correct setting.
Press the ON button to
begin inflation.
Pump will make a whining
sound then a piston sound.
The pump automatically

BTP12 Two Stage Electric Pump | PRO TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
PSI Settings for Sea Eagle Boats:
3.2 PSI for: FastTracks, Explorers, PaddleSki, 285fpb, STS10,
FoldCat & Sport Runabouts
10 PSI for: Travel Canoe, RazorLites
5-10 PSI for: RescueBoard
12-14.5 PSI for: SUPs, FishSkiff & FastCat
Automobile Battery Accessibility
Some autos, like Jeep Grand Cherokee, have convenient
positive and negative studs so it is not necessary to clamp onto
the battery. On other autos, like Ford Escape, the negative
terminal is inaccessible so the negative clamp must be
attached to a steel body component like the nearby strut tower
nut. Some auto batteries are dicult to access; the Toyota Prius’
battery is in the trunk, and some imports have the battery
under the rear seat.
Dedicated Battery
A 12 volt, 7 amp hour battery used in some home alarm
systems and emergency lighting systems will work well as a
battery for the pump. These may be available to buy locally or
online. If you purchase a battery and charger, the power wire
with clamps must be used. The battery terminal tabs may have
to be bent upward on the battery for the clamps to work.
An o the shelf battery & charger may be inexpensive
compared to Sea Eagle’s battery and charger but they are less
convenient.
Additional Info: Sea Eagle Battery Kit
Read the manufacturer’s Operating Instructions for the
Battery Charger which are including the battery shipping box.
When tested with a voltmeter, a properly working charger will
show 14.7v output until a resistance is placed against it.
Unplug charger from wall when not connected to a battery.
There is enough capacity in a charged battery to ll two or
more inatables.
Pump will work with charged battery, it will not work o
charger alone.
Taking Care of the Sea Eagle Battery
The battery is a lead dry-cell battery. Fully charge before rst
use. Regular discharge and recharge is good for the battery.
Recharge the battery as soon as practical after each use.
Leaving the battery drained causes permanent damage.
Charge occasionally during a long storage period.
Do not run the battery all the way down, doing so will
shorten battery life.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Pump does not shut o when inating.
Remove hose. Connect pump to power source. Turn on and
cover red (out) port to block airow. If pump shuts o, it is in
working condition. If pump does not shut o, call Sea Eagle
Customer Service, replacment is needed.
Problem: Pump starts o smoothly, then makes rattling noise.
First stage sounds like a vacuum cleaner, second stage is a
small piston pump. If pump progress from fan to piston, it is
working correctly.
Problem: Indicator needle does not move for a long time.
The pump runs for a period without the needle moving.
Needle only begins to moves when the chamber is full enough
to provide back pressure.
Problem: Pump smells like it is burning.
Turn pump o and do not try to restart. Unplug from power
supply. Call Sea Eagle Customer Service.
Problem: Pump no longer pumps air and is making unusual noise.
Pumping mechanism is broken, call Sea Eagle Customer
Service.
Problem: Friction Adapter Does not stay in opening.
Holds better as valve opening gets roughed up from use.
Problem: Battery Charger Light ashes red.
A red ashing light usually means a problem with the battery.
Leave it plugged in for a while to see if it will accept a charge.
Flashing light may also mean that something minor is wrong
with the LED but the charger works. Call Sea Eagle if it does not
accept a charge.
Problem: Battery Charger Light Stays Red
If the charger and battery have been plugged into a wall outlet
for a period time, but the light stays red, unplug and replug the
charger wire. If the light changes to green and stays green, the
charge is complete. No action is needed.
When calling Sea Eagle Customer Service, please have
pump, hose, adapter and power supply available for
testing and troubleshooting.
