Helpful Hints
To obtain efficient running and maximum life, ensure the
following:
• There is sufficient water in the container –do not run
the pump when dry.
• Maximum pumping period is not more than 15 minutes.
• All hose connections are firm and water tight
• The power supply is adequate- low performance could
result from a weak battery or reduced voltage due to
thin wiring (we recommend wiring should be a minimum
thickness of 2.5mm)
• When replenishing the water supply, it is possible to
create an air lock in the pump. As a result, the pump
will run noisily and give no discharge. To remedy, unplug
socket to dislodge the air pocket in the pump. Also
shaking the dual hose gently may dislodge the air pocket
in the pump, or switch off the pump at the control panel,
open a tap outlet and switch the pump on again at the
main panel.
Please note: Whale recommend that a spare pump is
carried at all times.
Winterising
To protect against damage as a result of freezing, drain
the entire water system.
Troubleshooting
The pump will not run.
•Check the contacts in the plug and socket are clean and
making contact.

•The pump motor runs steadily and will not stop
•Check that there is water in the container
•Battery voltage may be too low (at or below 10.5 volts)
