Whale Gulper 220 Mode D'emploi

1. To the Fitter
Ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed below
and that a copy is passed on to the end user.
2. To the User
Read the points listed below before installation and use
of equipment.
3. Application
The Gulper 220 self-priming pump has been specifically
designed to pump waste water from the shower tray /
galley sink, (either overboard or into a holding tank) or as
a small bilge pump. Output capacity depends on
installation and operating conditions.
Note: When used as a bilge pump users should be 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 suitable 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 system of safe working
practice is applied to installation, use and maintenance.
4. 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 intended
surface and work-out the best angles for the hose, then
mark the 4 hole positions using the pump feet. The pump
head may be rotated to suit the hose connections, this is
done by loosening the two screws that hold the clamping

rings, and rotating the pump head. Once you have
marked the position for the four mounting feet, drill four
pilot holes of 3.2mm (1/8"). Use the four No.8 self
tappers and washers to secure the pump. Use 19mm
(3/4") smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to the
pump.
5. 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
1.5mm2 (16 AWG). (Note: undersized wire reduces
voltage under load at the pump, thus giving 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.
In-Line Fuse Assembly
Purpose
The purpose of this fuse is to protect the pump from
serious damage in the event of system blockages,
therefore please ensure all valves are fully open before
operating the pump.
Connection Instructions
Insert this fuse assembly between the positive terminal
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 BP1552 / BP1552B (12v DC) pumps
5 amp automotive. Fuse rating for BP1554 / BP1554B
(24v DC) pumps 2.5 amp automotive
To control the pump an in-line switch should be fitted
between the positive live terminal on the battery and
the positive lead on the pump. If using an automatic
switch (such as a float switch) an isolator switch
should be fitted.
6. Operation
The Gulper 220 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.
