Installation
1. Locate the pump as close to the water supply as possible (the shorter the distance the better the pump performance).
WARNING
:
Risk of fire and explosion. Can cause severe injury, property damage or death. The motor is not spark proof. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Do not pump flammable liquids.
NOTE:
Do not secure the pump in a position with the motor facing down. The motor is splash proof, but not water proof.
2. Add water (approximately 1-2 Tbsp.) into the inlet to wet the pump impeller.
3. Attach the clear suction hose (C) to the suction strainer (B) by pushing the male threaded end into the rubber coupler on the suction
strainer. Then place the strainer in at least 1/2 in. of water at the lowest point to be pumped.
NOTE:
Make sure the connection is airtight. An air leak can cause the pump to run dry
.
4. Secure the pump on a hard surface. The pump should be less than 6 ft. above and less than 6 ft. to one side of the water source.
5. Connect the outlet hose. Make the outlet hose as short as possible
–
25 ft. or less. See following figure (typical pump shown).
NOTE:
Do not allow the inlet hose to lie in dirt or sand. This will cause rapid wear of the pump.
NOTE:
To reduce friction, do not coil or kink the hoses. Keep the hoses as straight as possible.
