Property damage, injury or death can occur.

Connect black wire to negative (-) terminal of battery.

The orange wire should run to a fused overload protected
switch or circuit breaker with a 15 amp rating, with a wire
from switch or breaker to positive (+) terminal of battery.
Electrical circuit must be independent of all other
accessories. Failure to connect black wire to negative

motor rotation and possible motor and pump damage.
Correct motor rotation is clockwise looking at shaft end

size fuse after determining reason for blown fuse.
