SELF-PRIMING PUMP FEATURES Permanent magnet type, fully enclosed, stainless steel shaft. Jabsco Neoprene compound 1/2" Internal Pipe Threads 1" External Hose Barb Adapter for 3/4" External Garden Hose Thread included Motor meets USCG Electrical Standards 183.410 and ISO 8846 MARINE for IGNITION PROTECTION on gasoline powered vessels. ! 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. 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. An automatic level switch is convenient to control the pump. The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as encountered when using a garden hose type shut-off nozzle. Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 20 feet of head (8.7 psi). Temperature of pumped liquid may be in the range of 45° - 180°F (7° - 82°C). APPLICATION Use for bilge pumping, livewell circulation, washdown and general pumping requirements. If bilge water contains significant amount of oil, the standard impeller should be replaced with impeller No. 6303-0003, which is an oil-resistant nitrile material. Pump has a dry prime suction lift of about 4 feet (1.2m) and a lift to 20 feet (6m) when primed. BE SURE SUCTION LINES ARE AIRTIGHT. Light housing gets hot during Motor runs hot—about 180° is a normal operation. Do not contact during temperature. Prolongedtouch during or immediately after operation. operation may cause a burn. Burns can res

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 a loose port connection will not wet the motor. The pump head may be rotated 180° on the motor to change direction of flow. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Pump ports have external 1" hose barb and internal 1/2" pipe threads. Also provided are two male port adapters to allow the attachment of 3/4" female garden...

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 motor from 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...
