VERSA-MATIC PUMP, A unit of IDEX Corporation • 6017 Enterprise Drive • Export, PA 15632 USA • [phone] Fax [phone]
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PUMP: This pump is a totally enclosed, submersible dewatering unit. It is
powered by a 1/3 HP, 12 volt DC 30 AMP motor. Battery clips on the power cord allow
easy connection to any 12 volt vehicle battery.
SWITCHING: The on-off switch is located on the power cord.
CONNECTING TO BATTERY: When connecting the clips to a battery, arcing is
eliminated by keeping the on-off switch in the "off" position. Connect the red battery
clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal. Connect the black battery clamp to ground:
preferably on the vehicle’s engine to a solid, metallic, stationary point. The connection
should be at least 18 inches (480mm) from the battery.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Turn off before connecting battery
clamps to battery. Arcing could result.
DANGER
IMPORTANT
Read these safety warnings
and instructions in this
manual completely, before
installation and start-up of the pump. It is
the responsibility of the purchaser to retain
this manual for reference. Failure to comply
with the recommendations stated in this
manual will damage the pump, and void
factory warranty.
HOSE: Since the pump develops relatively low pressure, it is recommended
that non-collapsible hose be used for maximum pumping rates.
HOISTING & LOWERING: An eye at the top of the unit is provided for attaching
a line for hoisting or lowering. Do not use power cable for handling unit.
TO OPERATE: Lower unit into liquid to be pumped and activate switch. Pump
can be run for a few minutes without liquid, however, do not run completely dry for
extended periods. Damage to shaft seal may result.
RUNNING TIME: This unit draws about 30 amperes and can be operated about
1hour on a fully charged 55 AMP-hour battery and still permit starting of
vehicle under normal conditions. Caution should be used when running time
exceeds 30 or 40 minutes without engine running to recharge battery, particularly in
cold weather when battery efficiency is lowered. Battery size (AMP-hour rating) and
the use of other accessories such as lights and radios, etc., must be taken into
consideration for practical running periods without engine running.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION is provided by means of a 40 amp automatic reset
circuit breaker, located under top cover.
1. Make sure the vehicle and the
pump are not in contact during
connection.
2. Do not use power cable for
handling unit.
3. Do not run completely dry for
extended periods. Damage to shaft
seal may result.
DANGER
DANGER: Not for use with fluids
that have a flash point below 100°
F (38° C) [examples: gasoline, alcohol.]
Sparking could result in death.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Most common cause of failure to run is due to hardened mud and sand at
impeller. Remove strainer to check.
MOTOR WILL NOT RUN:
1. Poor connection at battery.
2. Impeller locked with foreign material.
3. Insufficient impeller clearance.
4. Damaged power cable or loose connection internally in motor assembly.
5. Bad switch or circuit breaker. Connect power leads direct to motor leads to check.
6. Worn motor brushes or out of position to make contact with armature.
PERFORMANCE LOW:
1. Strainer screen partially plugged.
2. Impeller rubbing. Check freeness of rotation with screwdriver inserted through
hole in base plated into slotted end of shaft.
3. Battery not fully charged.
4. Discharge restriction such as kinked hose or excessive discharge head.
Motor runs backwards:
1. Check wiring for correct polarity.
SERVICE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTION
DISASSEMBLY: Impeller and shaft seal can be inspected and serviced from
lower end of pump by removal of 4 capscrews securing base plate, strainer screen,
and suction cover. Screwdriver slot is provided in end of motor shaft to turn shaft while
holding impeller for removal. This permits removal of impeller without
disassembly of upper motor housing to hold motor shaft.
To service motor remove 4 hex nuts and bump top cover free from housing tube.
