OPERATION
PUMP PLACEMENT
For best pump performance, place
the pump close the water level
\and use hoses that no longer
than necessary. That will enable
the pump to produce the greatest
output with the least self-priming time.
As head (pumping height) increases,
output decreases. The length, type,
and size of the suction and discharge
hoses can also significantly affect pump
output.
Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability, so it
is important for suction head to be the shorter part of total head. Minimizing
suction head is also very important for reducing self-priming time.
SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION
Use the commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp
provided with the pump.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the connector to suction hose in order to
prevent the air leakage and loss of the suction. Verify that the hose connector
sealing washer is in good condition.
Install the strainer on the other end of the suction hose, and secure it with a
clamp. The strainer will help to prevent the pump from becoming clogged or
damaged by the debris.
