PTS 4V Operation
4.9 Hoses and Clamps
Suction hoses (a) must be rigid enough not to collapse when pump is operating.
Discharge hoses (b) are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses. Rigid hoses similar
to those used as suction hoses may also be used as discharge hoses.
Note: Suction and discharge hoses are available from Wacker Neuson. Contact
your nearest dealer for more information.
Two clamps (c) are recommended for connection of suction hoses to inlet coupling.
Note: This connection is important. Even a small air leak on the suction side of
pump will prevent the pump from priming.
For other hose connections, one T-bolt or worm-gear-type clamp is usually
sufficient to hold hoses in place. In some cases, slight variances in hose diameters
may make it necessary to add more clamps in order to maintain tight connections.
