Whale Supersub 360 Quick start guide

Supersub Installation:
360 / 500 / 500 Auto pumps:
1. The pump should be positioned where
accumulated water is deepest. It should be
located for easy access in a position which
best protects the unit from damage and
allows fitting without penetrating the hull.
2. For best performance it is recommended to
mount the pump horizontally (Fig.1). Mark
two hole positions using the template pro-
vided.
3. Rotate motor housing in direction indicated
to remove it from the diffuser (Fig.2).
4. Use the 2 self-tapping panhead screws
and washers provided to secure diffuser
housing in most appropriate position for outlet
direction (Fig.2). Refit motor housing into
position (Keep probes HORIZONTAL on 500
Auto pump).
5. Fit 19 mm (¾") reinforced hose onto outlet
nipple while supporting the diffuser housing.
Secure using jubilee clips.
6. Fit an in-line non-return valve to prevent
back filling and on/off cycling with the 500
Auto.
(For reliable operation and to comply with
warranty conditions, electrical connections
must be kept dry. A submerged splice will
render this warranty null and void). Use a 3
Amp fuse for Supersub 360 manual pump and
a 5 Amp Automotive fuse for Supersub 500
and 500 Auto pumps.
Supersub 500 Auto can be switched manu-
ally or automatically (see wiring diagrams).
Supersub 360 and 500 manual pumps
should be wired through either a float switch
or a Supersensor for automatic operation or
can be manually switched on and off.

Installation
1. Position the Supersensor where accumu-
lated water is deepest. It should be located
for easy access in a position which best
protects the unit from damage and allows
fitting without penetrating the hull.
2. For best performance it is recommended to
mount the unit horizontally (Fig.3). Mark 2
hole positions using template provided.
3. Use the 2 self-tapping panhead screws
and washers provided to secure unit into
position (ensure probes are HORIZONTAL).
Maintenance
Warning: Turn off power before removing filter
housing or motor housing from diffuser.
Regular inspection and cleaning of the filter
housing is recommended. Ensure that no
fibrous debris are allowed to build up on the
impeller and shaft as this will reduce perform-
ance and damage the pump.
Supersub 500 Auto and Supersensor:
Regularly inspect and clean, the stainless
steel sensor probes using a cloth.
Read carefully before installation and use.
To the Fitter:check that the product is suitable for
the intended application, follow installation instruc-
tions and ensure operating instructions are passed
on to the end user.
To the User: Read the following instructions care-
fully.
Application: This product is designed primarily
for use as a bilge pump.
This electric bilge pump is designed to pump nor-
mal bilge water. Output capacity depends on
installation and operating conditions.
If this versatile product is intended to be used for
any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the
user's responsibility to ensure that the pump is
suitable for the application and, in particular, that
the materials are fully compatible with the liquids to
be used.
Note: Supersensor and Supersensor 500 Auto will
run for 10-20 seconds on startup to check water
levels in the bilge. If water is present, pump will
continue to run until water level drops below the
sensor probes.
Only use Supersensor with 12 V centrifugal pumps
with a maximum fuse rating of 10 Amps.

Electrical Wiring
Helpful Hints
1. For best pump performance ensure battery voltage
does not fall below 10V dc, (Electronic Sensor will not
operate below 10V dc). It is recommended to avoid
connecting units directly to Alternator or Dynamo.
2. To avoid possible pump damage, ensure outlet hose
does not become blocked or kinked.
3. For best pump performance keep the outlet hose and
wire lengths as short as possible with wire ends above
highest water level.
4. Ensure debris and dirt do not build up in the filter
housing.
5. To clean, pull entire filter housing from pump and
backflush.
