8. PREPARING THE WATER PUMP
8.1 HOSE CONNECTION - FIGS. 1 - 2
To stop the hose collapsing on the suction side of the
pump; a solid wall (reinforced) hose must be used.
Please see optional accessories section for
recommended suction hose.
i. Unscrew hose barb coupling
from the pump
body.
ii. Slide the hose barb coupling over the hose barb
and attach the coupling to the pump.
iii. Slide hose clamp
over the solid wall hose
before pushing the hose onto hose barb
;
making certain it has gone over all the way.
iv. Use the hose clamp to grip the hose securely onto
the connector. Make certain the clamp is central on
the connector.
NOTE: Clamp the strain filter
to the other end of
the suction hose (fig.3). This helps avoid larger pieces
of debris being sucked through the pump and causing
damage.
