INSTALLATION

INSTALL SUCTION LINE TO PUMP HEAD
1.
Uncoil the suction/discharge tubing. Use outside of solution tank as a guide to cut
proper length of suction line ensuring it will be 2-3" above the bottom of solution tank.
Allow sufficient slack to avoid kinks and stress cracks. Always make a clean
square cut to assure that the suction line is burr free. Normal maintenance
requires trimming.
Suction lines that extend to the bottom of the tank can result in debris pickup
leading to clogged injectors and possible tube failure.
2.
Make connections by sliding the line(s) through connecting nut
*
and ferrule and
finger tighten to the corresponding tube fittings.
3.
Finger tighten nut to the threaded tube fitting while holding the tube fitting.
Over tightening the ferrule and nut with a wrench may result in damaged fittings,
crushed ferrules, and air pick up.
DO NOT use thread seal tape on pump tube connections or tools to
tighten connections.
