Whale Orca User Manual

To tthe ffitter:
Ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed below and that a copy is passed on
to the end user.
To tthe eend uuser:
Read the points listed below before installation and use of equipment.
Read all instructions carefully before installing and using this product to ensure safe
installation and optimal performance. To prevent personal injury, disconnect the
power source when installing or servicing this product. Always remove the boat from
the water before using AC power tools. Use the fuse amperage rating specified for
your pump model (see table). Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or
fire hazards.
This Whale Orca Electric Bilge Pump is designed for use as a bilge pump in marine ves-
sels to pump fresh/grey water only.
DO NOT use pump to remove gasoline, oil or other flammable liquids. This pump is
designed to exhaust STANDING WATER ONLY. It is not intended to prevent rapid
accumulation of on-board water due to rough weather, hull damage and/or other
unsafe navigational conditions.
.
• Position pump in the lowest accessible part of the bilge. On sailboats, location
should be centred over keel (Figure 1).
• Do not mount the pump directly onto hull. Attach base strainer to a marine
plywood mounting pad that is fibreglassed to the hull.
IMPORTANT: To prevent airlock, hose must rise continually upward to the thru-hull
connector with no dips or sharp bends. Hose support clips should be used at regular
intervals where necessary.
• Orientate the pump outlet for a direct, to ensure an unobstructed hose path.
• Secure all connections with hose clamps.
• If no thru-hull connector exists, install at 12" (25mm) minimum height above water
line. Apply marine sealant around thru-hull flanges on interior and exterior of hull.
CAUTION: Do not drill through the hull. Before drilling, ensure that the mounted pump
will be correctly positioned with pump nozzle pointing towards thru-hull connector.
(see figure 1).
To remove pump body, place hand over body, depress locking tabs (eyes) and lift
body from strainer base. Note: Motor will be removed with body. (see figure 2).
• Use base as template to mark 3 mounting holes in mounting pad.
• Remove base. Drill three
1
/
8
" (3mm) pilot holes at marked locations.
• Replace base. Attach with #8 stainless steel fasteners (not supplied).
• Re-attach pump body to base. Insert body into strainer base, until base tabs snap
into holes in body. (see figure 2).
Ensure all wire connections are at the highest level above water. Use marine grade
wire connectors only and 16 SWG tinned copper wire. Waterproof all connections with
suitable materials. (see figure 3).
• Connect positive (+) brown wire to switch. For automatic operation, use an
Automatic Float Switch (whale product code: BE9010). Connect negative (-) black
wire to ground.
• Install fuse holder within 72" (183 cm) of the positive (+) battery terminal.
• To test system, feed water into the pump. If flow rate appears to be low, be sure
wires have been connected properly: Brown-to-positive (switch) and black-to-
negative. Reversed wiring reduces performance and can cause pump failure.
Disconnect power to the pump. Regularly remove motor housing and inspect and
clean filter to be sure that it is not being blocked by debris.
If ppump rruns bbut ddoes nnot ppump wwater:
• Check for airlock. Ensure that outlet hose runs upward to the thru-hull connector,
with no dips (see figure 1).
• Remove pump housing from base. Remove debris from chamber and impeller.
Ensure that the impeller is firmly attached to shaft and is not cracked or broken
(see figure 2).
If ppump ddoes nnot rrun:
• Check fuse.
• Be sure electrical connections and fuse are waterproof and have not loosened
(see figure 3).
