RE ERSIBLE PUMP
FEATURES
Body: Bronze
Impeller: Nitrile
Seal: Lip Type
Motor: Reversible Permanent Magnet Type with
Integral Reversing Switch and Fuse
Ports: 3/4" Garden Hose External
Height: 3-3/8" (85mm)
Length: 8-5/8" (172mm)
Width: 4" (95mm)
Weight: 5-1/2 lb (2.5 kg) Approx.
APPLICATION
Use for circulating and draining bait tank, engine oil
changing or general pumping requirements. With a wet
impeller, pump will produce a suction lift of about 3 to 4
feet (0.9 to 1.2m) and a lift of about 10 feet (3m) when
primed. BE SURE SUCTION LINES ARE AIRTIGHT.
INSTALLATION
The pump must be mounted in a dry location - the
motor is not waterproof and must not be submerged.
SELECTION OF A COOL, VENTILATED location will
generally extend pump motor life. The unit can be
mounted in any desired position. It is best to mount so
that water dripping from loose port connection will not
wet the motor. The pump head may be mounted at
90 degree increments on the motor to accommodate
plumbing connections as needed.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Pumps have external hose threads and internal 3/8" pipe
threads. Use hose that does not kink when bent or
collapse due to the suction of the pump. Arrange hoses
to trap liquid in pump body to wet the impeller. Wetting
the impeller aids in priming and extends impeller life. All
hoses must have airtight connections.

WARNING
!
Explosion hazard. Do not pump gasoline, solvents,
thinners or other flammable liquids. To do so can
cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Explosion hazard. Do not operate with rivets
removed from motor case. Explosion resulting in
personal injury, death or property damage can
occur. Case openings must be sealed to avoid
explosion and maintain ignition protected rating.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect black wire to negative (–) terminal of battery. The
orange wire should run to a properly sized (see electrical
specification) overload protected switch or circuit breaker,
with a wire from switch or breaker to positive (+) terminal
of battery. Electrical circuit must be independent of all
other accessories. Use proper wire size as determined by
wire table elsewhere on this sheet.

Explosion hazard. If pump is operated in an area
containing flammable vapors, wire leads must be
joined by insulated mechanical locking connectors.
Loose or inadequate wire connections can spark
resulting in an explosion. Property damage, injury
or death can occur.

NOTICE: To prevent motor damage, use only multi-
strand copper wire in size recommended. DO NOT use
ordinary lamp cord or other substitutes.
OPERATION
Flexible impeller pumps must NOT be run dry, as the
pumped liquid is the lubricant for the impeller. Observe the
outlet and shut off pump as soon as liquid stops flowing.
The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as
encountered when using a garden hose type shut-off
nozzle.
Temperature of pumped liquid may be in the range of
45° - 160°F (10° - 70°C).
Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 40 feet
of head (17.4 psi).
MAINTENANCE
Check wires and connections to be sure corrosion is not
adding additional resistance to the motor circuit and
causing a low voltage condition at the motor. Low voltage
can inhibit starting and cause fuse to blow. Full voltage
should be available to prevent motor damage.
NOTICE: If pump is idle for extended periods, the
impeller may stick to the pump body, preventing motor
rotation and causing blown fuses. To correct, remove
end cover and impeller. Clean body and impeller, then
lubricate with water or small amounts of grease before
assembly.
If pump is to be in freezing temperatures, drain by
loosening end cover.
A service kit, or at least a spare impeller, should be
carried aboard to be assured of pumping capability.
