FEATURES
Attwood Heavy Duty Bilge Pumps are the newest development in high output
pumps. All models have a removable housing for simple installation and easy
cleaning. They connect to 12-volt D.C. systems only. There are two ways to
configure your Heavy Duty Bilge Pump – Automatic Operation
or
Manual
Operation. The bilge pump system can be converted to fully-automatic
operation by installing the Attwood Automatic Float Switch, Part No. 4201
or 4202.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
All boats over 20' (6.1 m) in length which have sleeping accommodations
(excluding fold-out cockpit seats) require automatic bilge pump systems. For
fully-automatic operation, follow the
AUTOMATIC FLOAT
SWITCH INSTAL-
LATION
and
AUTOMATIC OPERATION WIRING
instructions
.
MANUAL OPERATION
For manual operation of your bilge pump system, disregard the references to
Automatic Float Switch installation and operation.
Check the chart below to select the proper pump, fuse size, and thru-hull
connector for your boat application:
DO NOT
use pump to remove gasoline, oil or other flammable liquids.
Doing so could result in fire, explosion, and serious personal injury.
Always use the fuse amperage rating specified for your pump model.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or fire hazards.
Attwood bilge pumps are designed to exhaust standing
WATER ONLY
.
They are not intended to prevent rapid accumulation of on-board water
due to rough weather, severe storms, hull damage, and/or other unsafe
navigational conditions.
Do not allow materials containing acetic acid (vinegar smell) such as
silicone rubber sealant to contact the plastic parts of the pump. They
may react with the plastic, causing cracks and pump failure.
Notice:
Discharge of oil prohibited. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act
prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into the contiguous zone.
Violators are subject to a penalty of $5,000.

Recommendations are based on amount of gallons exhausted per hour
(GPH). GPH measurements are typical of production pumps tested using
smooth-bore hoses, at 0' head. “Head” refers to the vertical distance between
the pump nozzle and the water discharge location. GPH is reduced as head is
increased.
The chart below shows gallons and liters per hour ratings for 0' head and 3'
(91.4 cm) head. GPH/LPH may also vary depending on power source, hose
type, and other variables.

The pumps can run dry for limited periods of time; however, doing so could
cause pump failure.
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the power source when
installing or servicing any electrical product. Remove vessel from water
when using any 110/120 or 220 Volt AC power tools.
