DANGER: This product is not intended for damage control or to deal with
flooding resulting from hull damage. This product is intended to be used in
Bilge Pumping Systems for small craft with a hull length up to 24 meters, as
described within the introduction and scope of ISO 15083. Bilge Pumping
Systems, as specified in ISO 15083, are limited to normal amounts of water
in an intact boat due to spray, rain, seepage, spillage, and occasional small
amounts of water shifting from boat movements in heavy weather. Use of
product in any other way could result in flooding, catastrophic damage to
craft, serious personal injury, or death.
WARNING: This pump is designed for use with fresh water and salt water
ONLY. Use with any other hazardous, caustic, or corrosive material could result
in damage to the pump and the surrounding environment, possible exposure
to hazardous substances and injury.
Bilge pumps shall be mounted in accordance with the pump manufacturer
instructions, and in an accessible location to permit servicing and cleaning of the
intake and/or screening.
On boats with an enclosed accommodation compartment, an audible alarm shall be
installed indicating that the bilge water is approaching the maximum bilge water
level. Bulkhead penetrations shall be in accordance with the requirements of ABYC
H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline, to minimize the potential for migration of
carbon monoxide from machinery compartments containing gasoline engines to
adjacent accommodation compartments.
Potential electrical sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered
machinery, or gasoline fuel tank(s), or joint fitting(s), or other connection(s) between
components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected, unless the component is
isolated from a gasoline fuel source as described in ABYC E-11.5.3.3
Exception:
1. Boats using diesel fuel as the only fuel source.
2. Outboard engines mounted externally or in compartments open to the atmosphere
in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using
Gasoline.
The bilge pump inlet shall be located so that excess bilge water can be removed from
the bilge at static floating position, and at maximum conditions created by the boat's
motion, heel, and trim.
