APPLICATIONS
The Jabsco Reversible Rotary Vane Pump is ideal for
transferring diesel fuel. It is self-priming to about three
feet and can
pump against a discharge head up to twenty
feet. With its integral on-off reversing switch, it is ideal for
moving fuel between port and starboard fuel tanks.
NOTE: No. 2 diesel fuel has a flash point of 125°F
(52°C) [ASTM 0-93].
INSTALLATION
The
pump must be mounted in a dry location – the motor
is not waterproof and must not be submerged.
SELECTION OF A COOL, VENTILATED location will
generally extend
pump motor life. The unit can be
mounted in any desired position. It is best to mount so
that fluid dripping from a loose port connection will not
wet the motor. The
pump head may be rotated 180° to
reverse the direction of flow if desired.
Motor with switch assembly meets USCG Electrical
Standards (Title 33, Chapter I, Part 183; Subpart I), and
ISO 8846 Marine for IGNITION PROTECTION on
gasoline powered vessels. SEE WARNING NOTE.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Pump ports have external 1" hose barb and internal 1/2"
pipe threads. Use hose that does not kink when bent and
with sufficient wall thickness to prevent collapse when
used on suction side of
pump. Ideally, hoses should be
routed so that some fluid will be retained in
pump body
to wet the rotor and vanes. Wetting the rotor and vanes
aids priming. Use a strainer on the intake hose if debris
or solids are present in the fluid being pumped. ALL
HOSES MUST HAVE AIRTIGHT CONNECTIONS TO
ENABLE FAST PRIMING.

Explosion hazard. Do not operate with
rivets removed from motor case.
Explosion resulting in personal injury,
death or property damage can occur.
Case openings must be sealed to avoid
explosion and maintain ignition
protected rating.
! WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not
pump volatile liquids
with a flash point below 100°F (38°C). Doing
so can cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or death.
