NOTE: Table shows approximate Head-Flow for new pump.

• SELF-PRIMING: With a dry impeller, pump will produce a suction lift of about 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2m) and a lift of about 20 feet (6m) when primed. Be sure suction lines are airtight or pump will not self-prime.
• RUNNING DRY: Unit depends on liquid pumped for lubrication. Do not run dry for more than 30 seconds. Lack of liquid will damage the impeller.
• PRESSURES: For operation, pressure should not exceed 9 psi (20 feet).
• TEMPERATURES: Recommended for liquid temperatures of 50° to 180°F (10° to 82°C).

USES :
Use for bilge pumping, livewell circulation, washdown and general pumping requirements. If liquid being pumped contains significant amount of oil, use the pump model # 18660-0123 with the Nitrile impeller, which is an oil-resistant material.

NOTICE:
The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as encountered when using a garden hose type shut-off nozzle.

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.
