Hose to Pump
The pump inlet and outlet ports have factory assembled fittings which are
specifically designed for connection to the G ¾ F running nuts on the flexible
hoses.
The hose end is fitted with a rubber sealing washer which is held captive within
the nut assembly.
Locate the hose into position and screw the nut fully onto the fitting by hand.
Finally nip tight with a spanner (4/5 Nm) for a water tight seal
(do not
overtighten).
Figure 8
Note:
When tightening or loosening the hose nut assembly, it is not necessary to
use an additional spanner. Place the spanner as shown, do not over tighten the
hose assembly.
After tightening ensure the reed switch clamp assembly has not been displaced
and is correctly located in the machined groove, see Figure 17 for reference.
