portable rv waste pump

bought a flojet macerator - portable and expected to get directions on how to hook it up. Just 2 bags of wires one with a controler and one that's a wire harness. Now what do I do??

    Seems pretty obvious from the owner's instructions you need to feed your new FloJet with +/- 12 vdc.

  • Cut off the button switch and the connectors and leave just two wires.
  • I found the size and type of discharge hose matters.

    The 3/4" hose works better than the 1/2" (obviously)

    The slicker the inner lining the better.

    Weight down the discharge or things will get overly-interesting in a hurry

    Ok your two bags of wire have a flat 2 connector or two on 'em. The flat two on the motor goes to either one of htem. IF you have wires with "Tinned ends" or "Striped ends" you extend these to the battery or to the main fuse panel, I used 10GA speaker wire and a 25 amp fuse at the fuse panel in mine (Handiest place to do it) and again

    THer is a 20 amp (or 25 forget which) in the switch handle.

    Hook up should be obvious 3/4 Inch hose to the hole in the ground (more on this in a bit) and big connector to RV. Do not hook up a fresh water hose right away or hook up a short hose with a quick disconnect.

    Before you hook up on the "Bottom" of the motor his a slitted shaft, make sure it turns in teh direction of the outlet.

    that's about it

    If you are in Eastern or mid michigan We can get together.
