To the User
Read the points listed below before installation and
use of equipment.
Application
The Gulper 320 self-priming pump has been
specifically designed to pump waste water from
the shower tray/galley sink, (either overboard or
from a holding tank) or as a small bilge pump.
Output capacity depends on installation and oper-
ating conditions.
When used as a bilge pump users should be
Note:
aware that capacity may not be sufficient to cope
with rapid influx of water. If it is intended for use for
any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the
user's responsibility to ensure that the pump is suit-
able for the intended use and, in particular, that the
materials are fully compatible with the liquids to be
used. With all applications it is important that a sys-
tem of safe working practice is applied to
Installation, use and maintenance. Suitable for a
bilge pump for boats smaller than 12 metres/39.4 ft
(designed to ISO15083).
Installation
Choose a position to mount the pump that is dry
and away from casual water. The pump may be
mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface. When
mounted vertically ensure that the pump head is
lower most (see diagram below).
When mounting, position the pump on the intend-
ed surface and work-out the best angles for the
hose, then mark the 3 hole positions using the
pump feet. The pump head may be rotated to suit
the hose connections, this is done by loosening the
screw that holds the clamping rings, and rotating

the pump head. Once you have marked the posi-
tion for the three mounting feet, drill pilot holes of
1 /
3.2mm (
). Use the three No.8 self tappers and
8 "
washers to secure the pump. Use 19mm (
25mm (1") smooth bore reinforced hose to con-
nect to the pump.
Electrical Connections
The polarity is indicated by coloured cable (Positive
- red, Negative - black). The pump is protected
against reverse polarity connection. Minimum wire
size is 1.5mm 2 (16 AWG). (Note: undersized wire
reduces voltage under load at the pump, thus giv-
ing poor performance and potential motor failure).
The in-line fuse assembly supplied (see details
below) must be fitted to the positive side of the
pump.
Purpose
The purpose of this fuse is to protect the pump
from serious damage in the event of system block-
ages, therefore please ensure all valves are fully
open before operating the pump.
Connection Instructions
Insert this fuse assembly between the positive ter-
minal on the pump and the positive feed wire.
Note :
1. If the fuse blows check:
a) all system valves/stop cocks are open.
b) the inlet and outlet nipples are not blocked
c) the remainder of the system is not blocked in
any way.
2. Fuse rating for BP2052 (12v DC) pumps 7.5 amp
automotive.
Fuse rating for BP2054 (24v DC)
pumps 5 amp automotive
To control the pump an in-line switch should be fit-
ted between the positive live terminal on the bat-
tery and the positive lead on the pump. If using an
automatic switch (such as a float switch) an isolator
switch should be fitted.
Operation
The Gulper 320 is switched on by either a remote
on/off switch or an automatic float switch. When
used to drain a shower or galley, the flow rate
should be sufficient to take away the waste faster
than the delivery from either the shower or galley
tap.
