on pump outlet. Tighten by hand, then an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Make all wire connections above any bilge water accumulation,
using marine-grade waterproof wire connectors only.
NOTE: Failure to make waterproof connections and fuse pump
properly will void the product warranty.
1. Using insulated terminal connectors, connect positive lead (brown)
to ON/OFF switch. Connect negative lead (black) to ground. (Figure 4)
2. In a location easily accessible for changing fuses, splice fuse holder
with 3-amp fuse into positive lead (brown). Fuse holder must be
installed not more than 72" (1.83m) from positive (+) battery terminal.
3. To check system, feed water into the pump. If flow seems too low,
make sure wires have been properly connected – brown to positive
(switch), black to negative.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Drain livewell tank before you service the aerator. Failure to do so
could result in a large volume of water flooding your boat.
If Aerator is installed thru-hull, BOAT MUST BE OUT OF THE WATER to
remove or replace motor cartridge. The pump, plumbing and connections
may be below the water level. Removing the cartridge while the boat
is in the water may result in flooding and sinking of your boat.
1. Periodically check that the electrical connections are tight
and waterproof.
2. All plumbing, clamps, and hoses must be secure and protected
from wear and damage.
To clean or remove existing motor cartridge
1. Occasionally check pump to be certain debris is not restricting or
jamming the impeller. Careful attention will provide peak performance.
