the discharge hose may tend to move slightly) and
switch the pump on by moving the toggle switch in the
direction that the oil needs to flow. Once the pumping
process is complete (flow has stopped), switch the pump
off immediately. Do not allow the pump to run dry for
more than about thirty seconds or impeller damage may
occur. Using the engine’s dipstick; verify that it is in fact
empty and the oil flow was not stopped by sludge. If the
engine oil is empty, a measured amount of the correct
type (per the engine manufacturer’s recommendation) of
new oil can be pumped back into the engine. Insert what
was a
discharge hose, and for refilling purposes becomes the
intake suction hose, into a container with the measured
amount of oil. Move the pump’s toggle switch in the
direction of desired flow toward the engine and pump the
measured amount of oil into it. When the container is
empty immediately turn off the pump. Close the system
security valve and always check the oil level with the
engine’s dipstick to ensure the oil level is correct.
INSTALLATI N
The Oil Change Pump may be oriented in any position.
However, if mounted to a vertical surface, it should be
oriented with the pump’s motor above the pump head.
This will ensure that, should the seal ever develop a
leak, oil from the pump head will not drip onto the motor.
The Oil Change Pump should be located where the
length of hose to the engine can be kept as short and
straight as possible. The pump is self-priming and may
be positioned up to three feet above the oil source.
However, for best operation the pump should be
mounted at a level that is just slightly above the highest
oil level to be changed. Often this is approximately even
with the level of the engine mounts. Secure the pump to

APPLICATI N
The Jabsco Oil Change Pump is designed to be installed
near a vessel’s engine and permanently plumbed to the
engine’s oil pan. The pump can be used to remove old oil
from the engine, then with the integral reversing switch,
the flow direction can be changed to pump a measured
amount of new oil back into the engine. The connection
to the engine should be controlled by the 3/8" ball valve
(provided) to guard against accidental oil discharge.
PERATI N
Before changing oil, run engine about 3 – 5 minutes to
raise the oil temperature to about 100° – 140°F
(38° – 60°C) and reduce its viscosity. Open the security
valve in the oil change system. Ensure the waste oil
discharge hose is securely positioned in a waste oil
receptacle (be aware that during the pumping process
Caution–Burn Hazard. Heated oil can cause

a solid mounting surface at the four base attachment
points. It is recommended that heavy duty reinforced
type A fuel hose be used to connect the pump with the
engine pan. The hose assembly should be made with
permanent type end connector fittings similar to hose
assemblies for on-board natural or propane gas systems.
WIRING
The pump should be wired to an overload protected
electrical distri bu tion panel (circuit breaker or fuse panel)
with marine grade copper stranded wire, sized to match
the recommendation in the Electrical Specifications
chart. The electrical circuit breaker (or fuse) must also
be sized to match the Electrical Specifications
recommendation. Connect the motor’s orange wire lead
to positive and the black lead to negative. Make all
connections with mechanical locking type connectors
such as crimp type butt connectors. Once the wiring is
completed, the electrical wires should be secured to a
solid surface every eighteen inches along the length of
their run to prevent movement and abrasion.

SERVICE
The Jabsco Oil Change Pump should provide many
years of reliable service without the need for regular or
scheduled maintenance. However, if sludge should
become lodged anywhere in the system, it can cause
excessive vacuum or pressure on the pump that may
damage the flexible impeller. If this occurs pump
performance will be reduced and it will become
necessary to change the pump’s impeller.
Before performing any service work, ensure the system’s
security valve is closed and the power to the pump is
turned off and labeled “Do Not Turn On” to guard against
it being accidentally turned back on while service work is
being performed.
IMPELLER REPLACEMENT
To change the impeller, remove the pump end cover
screws, end cover and O-ring. Grasp the impeller’s hub
with a pair of pliers and pull the old impeller from the
impeller bore.
With a rotary motion (to flex the blades of the new
impeller under the cam silhouette in the pump body)
push the new impeller into the body until the flat of the
impeller insert aligns with the flat of the shaft. When the
two flats align, push the impeller firmly into the impeller
bore until it bottoms in the bore. Place the end cover
O-ring seal in the O-ring groove in the body. (A small
amount of grease may be used to hold it in place.)
Position the end cover against the body and secure it
with the end cover screws.
SEAL REPLACEMENT
Under normal circumstances, the shaft seal should
function properly for several hundred hours of operation.
If the seal should ever develop a leak and need to be
replaced, begin the procedure by following the above
instructions for changing an impeller. Once the impeller
has been removed, remove the two screws that secure
the pump head to the motor and pull the pump body off
of the motor shaft. Using a piece of 1/2" wood dowel (or
similar material) from the back (motor) side of the body
push against the seal to dislodge it from the seal bore.
When the seal is removed, ensure the seal bore is clean
of all debris. From the front (impeller) side of the pump
housing, place the new seal in the seal bore, ensuring
the lip of the seal is pointing toward the impeller bore
