Flow Master Water Pressure Systems 5.0
mounted to DC motor 12/24 V
Please follow all instructions before attempting an installation.
Warning!
The five chamber Flowmaster series pumps
are very powerful and as a result may draw
more current (Amps) than the pump(s)
they replace. It is very important that any
power supply, fuses/circuitbreakers, wiring,
switches, connectors, or controllers that
are used to supply 12VDC to the pump are
adequately sized. Inadequetly sized com-
ponents may overheat, causing an electrical
fire. When installing the pump, positive volt-
age (+12VDC) must be connected to the
Flowmaster's red fused leadwire. Revers-
ing polarity will instantly blow the fuse and
may permanently damage the controller. If
you are uncertain with respect to any of this
information, Johnson Pump highly recom-
mends that a qualified technician perform
your installation and determine the existing
polarity of your current wiring.

Important Safety Tips:

1. After extended operation, or if malfunc-
tioning, metal surfaces of the pump may
become hot and cause burns if touched.
If this occurs, disconnect electrical pow-
er and wait 30 minutes before touching
pump.
2. Never mount the pump where the surface
temperature of the motor or the controller
(95°C/200°F maximum) may cause igni- 95°C/200°F maximum) may cause igni- maximum) may cause igni-
tion of the surrounding materials.
3. Do not wrap the pump with an insulat-
ing material or enclose it so tightly that
air circulation around the pump is pre-
vented. The pump will generate approxi-
mately the same amount of heat as a 75
watt lightbulb.
4. The pump should be mounted in a dry
location away from any heat source(s).
5. Pumphead materials are designed for
use with potable water only and should
never be used with petroleum products.
6. The pump is equipped with a pressure
sensing demand switch which controls
the maximum operating pressure as set
Original instructions
at the factory. Never subject the pump to
pressures above 80 PSI maximum.
7. Always consider electrical shock hazards
when working with and handling electri-
cal equipment. If uncertain in your abili-
ties, please consult an electrician.
8. The Flowmaster is equipped with an au-
tomatically resetting thermal protector. If
a pump is not running, it may restart at
any time.
9. For both 12V/24V models use the appro-
priate fuse for the appropriate voltage.
10. It is necessary to use a screen filter be-
tween the water holding tank and the
pump to prevent debris from entering the
pump. Particulate matter may cause the
valves inside the pump to stick open. This
filter needs to be cleaned on a regular ba-
sis, or it will restrict water to the pump.
11. If water is not drained from the system
during freezing temperatures, damage to
the pump and the plumbing is likely: a)
Drain the water holding tank. b) Open
all faucets and run the pump to expel all
water c) Disconnect inlet and outlet fit-
tings and run pump to remove residual
water from the pump. d) Leave fittings
disconnected from pump.
Installer Qualifications: If you intend to install
the Flowmaster without professional assis-
tance, you should clearly be "handyman"
competent enough to do simple low voltage
electrical wiring, crimp connectors, obtain
voltage measurements, understand polarity
as well as schematics which illustrate relay
connections. Additionally, you should be
comfortable with water system plumbing, in-
stalling hose clamps, using Teflon (Teflon is
a trademarks or registered trademarks of E.I.
du Pont de Nemours and Company) tape,
and removing/re-tightening compression fit-
tings.
Typical installation of the Flowmaster re-
quires between 1-2 hours.
