Screw in the pump holders using the fixings provided. The holes are 63.5mm apart.
-
We recommend mounting the pump in the vertical orientation to keep the pump submerged at all times
-
Screw the mounts 6 to 8cm appart

Attach the tubing adaptors to the frame of your printer
-
Rout your tubing so that the coolant flows in the following order: HotEnd -> Radiator -> Pump -> HotEnd
-
Use cable ties to secure the tubing and the tubing adaptors, make sure not to tighten the cable ties too much as they might restrict the flow of the coolant in the Kraken tubing
-
Take care not to induce any sharp turns in the Kraken tubing to avoid kinks forming and flow being restricted
-
-
-
Plug the pump into your power supply so that it runs continuously when the printer is on. This is a safety feature to prevent the hotend from heating up without any cooling
-
We recommend that you use dedicated coolant or coolant additives to run in your system rather than plain tap water to prevent the forming of algae

The pump have 3 wires, red, black and white. I expect the red is for +12V and black is GND, but what is the white for?
The white one, if it’s derived from a PC-watercooling kit like I’m guessing, is an RPM indicator signal that normally gets fed back onto the motherboard, much like a PC fan would have 3 pins, +/-/RPM.
How many Fluid Ounces of the coolant should I purchase? How many Fluid Ounces does the pump reservoir hold?
The pump is not moving the water. Red wire connected to 12vdc positive and black wire hooked to 12vdc negitive. Any ideas?
