cure the hose to the ports. If installing
the optional check valve, make sure to
install the check valve before installing
the hose and ports. The check valve for
the [1 1/8" or 1 ¼"] model will include
a stainless steel washer and a flapper. To
install the check valve, place stainless
steel washer into the discharge area of
pump. Next place the Nitrile flapper over
the washer. Then thread on the port on
to pump's discharge. Tighten port until
port is bottomed out with pump body.
For ¾" model install check valve such
that the tapered end is towards the direc-
tion of flow. To install check valve, re-
move gasket in Duraport and replace the
gasket with the check valve which also
acts as the gasket. Save the old gasket
in case you intend to not use the check
valve at a later time.
Make sure to avoid loops or bends in the
hose. Support hose if necessary. It is
important that the hose be constantly ris-
ing and not be allowed to dip below the
outlet port as this may cause an airlock
situation. For maximum performance
use smooth bore, reinforced hose.
NOTE: The check valve supplied with
your Ultima Bilge pump is used to pre-
vent the backflow of water. The utiliza-
tion of the check valve requires you to be
mindful of its functionality. The check
valve material is made of Nitrile mate-
rial to be used for water applications
only. Also, the check valve will reduce
the flow of the pump. If flow is criti-
cal to the application of the pump, it is
recommended that the check valve not
be used. Also, when winterizing your
boat, remove the check valve to avoid
ice formation and/or degradation of the
check valve.

Wiring Instructions:
Refer to wiring diagram below. Use ap-
propriate sized connectors for 16 Gauge
wire. The wiring connections should
be made with water resistant permanent
terminals. Liquid electrical tape should
be used to coat terminals. The mount
connections should be above the highest
water level. The warranty will become
void on this product if any electrical cord
is cut back more than 3 inches, if electri-
cal splices become submerged, failure to
properly fuse or if pump is installed con-
trary to instructions or warnings.
You may install a three way switch panel
that will allow the pump to be in manual
or automatic mode. Make sure to fuse
the pump. The fuse holder should be be-
tween positive battery terminal and three
way panel switch. Make sure to use the
appropriate fuse size for the models. To
check the operation of the pump, place
two fingers over the raised circular areas
in the back of the pump. After a short
delay [5 seconds], the pump should turn
on. If you remove your finger from the
top circle, the pump should remain on.
If you remove both fingers, the pump
should turn off.
