ASSEMBLY
Suction Hose
1. Remove vinyl cap from suction port (G).
2. Assemble suction hose (A) with clamp (B), hose connecter
(C), hose fitting (D), and sealing washer (E) on one end and
strainer (F) with second clamp on the other end.
3. Attach hose to suction port (G).
Note: Longer 25 mm (1 inch) suction hose can be used up to a
maximum length of 7.5 m (24 feet).
• Make sure that all hose and pipe connections are air tight.
An air leak in the suction line or suction fittings may prevent
priming and will reduce the pumps capacity or efficiency
.
• Keep priming port plug and pump drain plug tightly secured
in place to prevent entry of air into the pump.
•
Use an acceptable pipe thread sealant on all threaded
nipple connections.
Always use the strainer with the suction hose. Gravel or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious
impeller and housing damage. If the strainer clogs with debris, prevent the strainer from touching the bottom.
Placing the strainer in a submerged bucket or basket may also work.

tightly onto pump discharge port.
