Receiving & Installation
Receiving Inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be
inspected for damage or shortages.
If damage has occurred, file a claim

delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not
lose or misplace.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period
longer than six (6) months from the

test consists of, checking the impeller
to assure it is free turning and a run

if provided) operate properly. Do not
pump out of liquid.

approved pump control device or panel
for automatic operation. Be sure the
