3.2 Plumbing Connections
Connect the inlet side of the pump to your water source (e.g., fresh water tank) and the outlet side to your plumbing system. Use flexible hose to minimize vibration and noise. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks and air ingress, which can affect pump performance.
- Install a strainer/filter on the inlet side to protect the pump from debris.
- Avoid kinks or sharp bends in the hoses.
- The pump features integrated check valves to prevent backflow.

3.3 Electrical Wiring
Connect the pump to a 12V DC power source. Ensure the wiring gauge is appropriate for the distance and current draw. Install an inline fuse (not supplied) on the positive (+) wire as close to the power source as possible. The pump is thermally protected for safety.
- Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal.
- Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal.
- Refer to the pump label for specific voltage and current requirements.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Initial Priming
Once all connections are made, open a faucet in your system. Turn on the pump's power supply. The pump will begin to run, drawing water and expelling air from the system. Allow the water to flow until a steady stream without air bubbles is achieved. Close the faucet; the pump should shut off automatically as pressure builds.
4.2 Automatic Operation
The Shurflo Trail King 10 is an automatic demand pump. It will turn on when a faucet is opened and the system pressure drops, and turn off when the faucet is closed and the system reaches its set pressure (45 PSI). The pump is capable of dry running without damage, but it is recommended to always have water in the supply tank.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pump.
- Strainer/Filter: Periodically inspect and clean the inlet strainer to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Connections: Check all plumbing and electrical connections regularly for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Winterization: If operating in freezing conditions, drain all water from the pump and plumbing system. Run non-toxic RV antifreeze through the system to prevent damage.
- General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dirt and grime.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not run | No power, blown fuse, loose wiring, motor fault | Check power supply, replace fuse, tighten connections, contact support if motor fault suspected. |
| Pump runs but no water flows | No water in tank, air leak on inlet, clogged strainer, pump not primed | Check water level, inspect inlet connections, clean strainer, re-prime pump. |
| Low flow or pressure | Clogged strainer, air leak, restricted plumbing, low voltage | Clean strainer, check for air leaks, inspect plumbing for blockages, verify voltage. |
| Pump cycles on and off rapidly | Water leak in system, pressure switch issue, air in system | Check for leaks, ensure all faucets are closed, bleed air from system, contact support if pressure switch is faulty. |
| Pump is noisy | Vibration, air in system, restricted inlet, loose mounting | Ensure flexible hoses are used, bleed air, check inlet for restrictions, tighten mounting screws. |
