BP12 Single Stage Electric Pump
BP12 works on 12 volt DC (battery) power. Single stage indicates that it has a piston pump inside. It does not work as a deator. It
can be used with a Sea Eagle battery 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 15 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.

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.

BP12 Single Stage Electric Pump | PRO TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
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, replacement is needed.
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 mechinism has broken, call Sea Eagle Customer
Service.
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.
