dry. Fill the pump (23) chamber with
liquid before operation. Failing to do so
may damage the seal ring (22), which
depends on the liquid for its lubrication.
16. When connecting the power cords (1) to
the boat’s 12 volt DC electrical system,
connect the red power cord first. Then,
connect the black power cord. When
disconnecting the power cords from
the electrical system, disconnect
the black power cord first. Then,
disconnect the red power cord.
8. In cold weather, when the utility pump
is not in use, protect the interior of the
pump from freezing by draining the

automobile antifreeze containing a rust
inhibitor through the system. A 50%
mixture with water is recommended. Be
sure to thoroughly flush the system with
a neutralizing liquid prior to reuse of the
unit.
17. Turn the boat’s ignition switch to its “off”
position and disconnect the utility pump
from the boat’s 12 volt DC electrical
system before performing any inspection,
adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures on the pump.
18. DO NOT SUbMERGE ThE UTILITY
PUMP IN wATER.
9. If used on a boat, read and understand
all instructions and safety precautions as
outlined in the manufacturer’s manual for

1. The Inlet and Outlet Ports on the Utility
Pump are both dual threaded with an
Inside Diameter of 3/8” NPT and an
Outside Diameter of 3/4”. This allows
for more versatility in selecting a suction
hose and discharge hose (not included)
with the proper threaded male or female
connector. (see Figure a.)
In addition, the height from the inlet
to the pump and then the height from
the outlet to the discharge will greatly
impact pump performance.
