2. Уваходны фільтр: An inlet strainer (not included) is required to protect the pump from debris and particulates. Install the strainer on the inlet side of the pump.
3. Сантэхнічныя злучэнні: The pump features threaded connections. Use appropriate fittings to connect to your 1/2-inch flexible water tubing. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The pump has a built-in check valve for backflow protection.
4. Электраправодка: Connect the pump to a 12 VDC power source. The red wire is positive (+), and the black wire is negative (-). Install an inline fuse (recommended slow blow fuse: 10 Amp) on the positive wire as close to the power source as possible. Ensure all wiring is properly insulated and protected.
5. Самаўсмоктванне: The pump is self-priming up to 6 feet of vertical lift. Ensure the inlet line is submerged in water for initial priming.

2. Ачыстка паветра: Allow the pump to run for several minutes until a steady stream of water flows from all faucets and all air is purged from the system. Close the faucets. The pump should then build pressure and shut off automatically.
3. Аўтаматычная праца: The pump is designed for automatic operation. It will turn on when a faucet is opened and the system pressure drops, and turn off when the faucet is closed and the pressure is restored. The internal bypass ensures quiet, low-cycling operation.
4. Сухі ход: The pump is designed to run dry without damage, providing protection if your water tank runs empty. However, prolonged dry running is not recommended.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your pump:

• Inlet Strainer Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the inlet strainer to prevent debris from entering the pump and reducing flow.
• Праверка злучэння: Regularly check all plumbing connections for leaks and electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.
• Мантажныя шрубы: Inspect the pump's mounting screws periodically, especially in high-vibration environments, to ensure they remain secure.
• Зімоўка: In freezing temperatures, the pump and plumbing system must be properly winterized to prevent damage from ice expansion. Consult your RV or marine vehicle's manual for specific winterization procedures.
