2.3.2 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
Note: See Operation (“Operating Water Level”) for the water level
necessary for operation.
Note: The discharge end of the hose should be located higher than the
water surface. If the end of the hose is submerged, water may flow
back to the pump when the pump is stopped; and if the hose end is
lower than the water surface, water may overflow when the pump is
turned off.
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to current leakage and shock.
2.3.3 Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the strainer from
becoming submerged in mud, causing it to suck in sand or debris,
mount it on a block or other firm base.
2.3.4 If used in a permanent installation where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker Neuson for a
duplicate nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control
box so that it will be readily visible.
