Models PC1 and PC2 include a 6 foot
long suction hose, a water suction
attachment, and a replacement parts kit
which includes: impeller, gasket, shaft
seal, and two motor brushes. Models
PC1 and PC2 can be used without the
water suction attachment.
Always disconnect power source
before attempting to install, service,
or maintain the pump. Never handle a
pump with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required for Model PC2.
Risk of electrical shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
A grounded receptacle in conformance
with current NEC and local codes must
be used (See Figure 1). Do not use
model PC2, 115 V Transfer Pump in
swimming pool areas.
2. Model PC1 operates on 12V DC only.
Model PC2 operates on 115V only.
Voltage and current of power supply
must match the requirements of the
pump. Model PC1 has color-coded
battery clamps for 12V operation.
Model PC1 requires 14 amps at 12
VDC.
3. Never use an extension cord to
power this unit.
Risk of fatal electrical shock. Never
cut off the round grounding prong.
Cutting the cord or plug will void
the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
4. Use a strainer when pumping from a
creek, pond, or source where foreign
objects may be sucked into the
pump. The strainer should prevent
solids from entering the inlet line.
5. A regular garden hose may be used
as a discharge line.
6. The inlet or suction hose should
not be longer than 15 feet; and
the vertical distance between the
pump and the water level should
not be any higher than 10 feet. The
maximum discharge height is 30
feet.
7. At times, an overload due to
overheating, low voltage, jammed
impeller, etc. may shut the pump off.
Unplug or turn off the pump and
wait at least ten minutes. The pump
will cool and automatically reset.
(Model PC2 only)
8. Motor should never be operated
for more than 2 hours continuously.
Critical heating can occur and might
severely damage the pump and void
warranty.
Operation
1. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
to both inlet and outlet to prime.
Attach included 6 foot suction hose
to inlet of pump. Attach garden
hose to outlet of pump. There
must be a gasket in place to insure
that these connections are airtight,
otherwise the pump will not prime.
2. Connect water suction attachment
to the open end of inlet hose and
place below water surface. (Water
suction attachment is optional
for both PC1 and PC2 models.)
The water suction attachment is
designed to fit the male end of
a garden hose. Place the water
suction attachment as near as
possible to the middle of the water
that is to be pumped.
3. Examine the inlet and outlet hoses
to insure there are no blockages,
kinks or bends.
Place switch in
“OFF” position
before connecting or disconnecting
battery terminal clamps.

IMPORTANT BATTERY
INFORMATION
Be certain that the area around the
batteries is well ventilated. Before
servicing the batteries, blow away
gasses by waving a piece of cardboard
near the batteries.
Dangerous
hydrogen gas
can be released from batteries while
charging. Sparks can ignite the gas
in an enclosed space. Wear safety
goggles when connecting batteries.
Battery connections should be made
in a well-ventilated area.
Working in the
vicinity of lead
acid batteries can be dangerous.
Before making connections or
servicing the batteries, read and
follow instructions in all applicable
instruction manuals. To reduce the
risk of battery explosion, follow
the instructions in this manual and
those published by the battery
manufacturer, as well as those of
any other equipment used in the
surrounding area.
An assistant should be present or
close enough to come to your aid in
the event of an emergency. Have a
reliable source of fresh water and
soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts clothing, skin or eyes.
Wear eye and clothing protection
when working around lead acid
batteries.
Avoid touching your eyes when
working around lead acid batteries.
If battery acid
contacts your
eye(s), flush with cold running
water for 20 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. If acid
contacts your skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water.
Never smoke or
allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping
metal tools on
the battery posts because they may
spark or short-circuit the system or
battery, causing an explosion.
