5. Configuració

5.1 Muntatge de la bomba

The pump should be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct weather exposure. Utilize the rubber mounting base to reduce vibration and noise. Secure the pump using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes.

5.2 Connexió elèctrica

• Connect the pump's red wire to the positive (+) terminal of a 12V DC power source (e.g., battery).
• Connect the pump's black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V DC power source.
• It is recommended to install an appropriate fuse (not included) in the positive line for circuit protection.
• Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions elèctriques estiguin segures i aïllades.

5.3 Connexions de fontaneria

1. Connexió d'entrada: Attach the 50 Mesh Strainer to the pump's inlet port (typically marked "IN" or with an arrow pointing towards the pump). Connect your water supply hose from the water source to the strainer. Ensure all connections are watertight using the provided quick-install connectors and stainless steel clamps.
2. Connexió de presa: Connect the 20FT Coiled Hose to the pump's outlet port (typically marked "OUT" or with an arrow pointing away from the pump). Secure with a stainless steel clamp.
3. Spray Gun Connection: Attach the Cleaning Spray Gun to the free end of the 20FT Coiled Hose.

5.4 Cebament de la bomba

For optimal performance, ensure the pump is primed before first use:

• Ensure the water source is open and available to the pump inlet.
• Open the spray gun nozzle to allow air to escape.
• Turn on the pump. It may run for a few seconds to draw water and expel air. Once water flows steadily from the nozzle, the pump is primed.
• Close the spray gun nozzle. The pump will build pressure and then shut off automatically due to the pressure switch.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Engegada/apagada

Once properly installed and primed, connect the pump to its 12V DC power source. The pump is ready for operation.

6.2 Automatic Pressure Control

• The pump features an automatic pressure switch. When the spray gun nozzle is opened, the pressure drops, and the pump automatically activates to maintain water flow.
• When the spray gun nozzle is closed, the pressure builds up to 80 PSI, and the pump automatically shuts off. This mechanism conserves energy and minimizes pump wear.

6.3 Using the Spray Gun

The included spray gun allows for adjustable spray patterns. Rotate the nozzle head to change from a fine stream to a wide fan spray, suitable for various cleaning tasks. The effective range of the spray nozzle is approximately 32.81 feet.

7. Manteniment

7.1 Cleaning the Strainer

Regularly inspect and clean the 50 Mesh Strainer to prevent debris from entering the pump, which can reduce performance and cause damage. Disconnect power, unscrew the strainer housing, remove the mesh filter, rinse it thoroughly, and reassemble.

7.2 Comprovació de connexions

Periodically check all hose and electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Replace any damaged components immediately.

7.3 Hivernació (per a climes freds)

In freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump and hoses to prevent damage from ice expansion. Disconnect inlet and outlet hoses, run the pump briefly (no more than 10 seconds) to expel remaining water, or use an RV/marine antifreeze solution according to product instructions.
