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 Ð 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:

Pump
Part	Pump		Amp	Outlet Hose	Thru-Hull
Number	Model	Volts	Fuse	Inside Dia.	Connector
4030, 4031	HD1700	12VDC	10	1-1/8" (29mm)	3874
4060, 4061	HD2000	12VDC	12	1-1/8" (29mm)	3874

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. ÒHeadÓ 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.

	ABYC Specifications			ISO Specifications
	13.6 volts DC			12.0 volts DC
	(GPH=Gallons Per Hour)			(LPH=Liters Per Hour)
		GPH	LPH	GPH	LPH
Part		Open	Open	3'	3'	Amp
No.	Model	Flow	Flow	Head	Head	Draw
4030, 4031	HD1700	1,700	6,450	1,300	4,920	6.0
4060, 4061	HD2000	2,000	7,600	1,550	5,867	8.0

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.

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.
