5.Set up
The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best when the pump is near the
water level, and the hoses are short.
Never use a suction hose with an inside diameter less than 25 mm (1 inch).
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in order to prevent air leakage
and loss of suction. Verify that the hose connector sealing washer is in good condition.
nstall the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction hose, and secure it with a hose
clamp. The strainer will help to prevent the pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION
Attach a hose and hose connector to the pump’s discharge port. It is best
to use a short, large-diameter hose, because this will reduce fluid friction
and improve pump performance. A long or small-diameter hose will
increase fluid friction and reduce pump output. If the discharge hose is
equipped with a shutoff valve or nozzle, do not shut off the discharge
water for a long period of time, as that could cause the pump to overheat.
