Troubleshooting
Pump not running
Check the 12V power supply connection, ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped, and verify correct polarity.
Low water pressure or flow
Inspect the inlet and outlet hoses for kinks or blockages. Check the water tank for sufficient water level. Ensure the pump is properly primed.
Pump cycles on and off rapidly
This may indicate a leak in the system or that the pressure switch is set too high for the system's demand. Check for leaks and verify pressure switch settings if adjustable.
Pump runs continuously without supplying water
Confirm the water tank is not empty. Check the inlet for air leaks or blockages. Ensure the pump is properly submerged and primed.
Unusual noise during operation
Ensure the pump is securely mounted to minimize vibration. Check for air in the lines or obstructions within the pump mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This pump requires a 12V DC power source. Ensure wiring is done correctly, adhering to proper gauge and polarity. Due to the absence of included fittings, you will need to source appropriate barbed fittings for your inlet and outlet hoses that match your plumbing system. Connect the inlet hose to your fresh water tank and the outlet hose to your RV's water lines. The pump is self-priming, but for best results, ensure the inlet line is submerged in water.
Compatibility: The Shurflo Trail King 7 Pump is designed for use in RVs, campers, and caravanning applications requiring a 12V water supply. It is compatible with standard RV plumbing systems. Ensure any replacement parts or accessories, such as fittings and hoses, are rated for potable water systems.
Care: Regularly check the pump's inlet for any debris that could obstruct flow. Clean the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Periodically inspect wiring connections for corrosion or damage. The pump features thermal overload protection, but it's good practice to ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
