Estimated Assembly Time
: 5 minutes
Materials Required for Assembly
(sold separately): 3/4 in. foot valve (Item #0023581), 1 in.
discharge tee (Item #0071492), 100# pressure gauge (Item #0064124), thread tape, 3/4 in. standard
garden hose (for discharge), 3/4 in. heavy duty garden hose (for suction).

: If standard garden hose is used for suction line, the hose could collapse, allowing the pump to
run dry. This could cause permanent damage and void warranty.
This pump is designed to sprinkle lawns and small gardens from lakes, ponds, or rivers, empty or fi ll
stock tanks, remove standing water from fl ooded areas or transfer water. Flammable liquids such as
gasoline, chemicals, or corrosive liquids should never be used with this pump.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Place the pump on level support before operation.
CAUTION:
Never install a shutoff valve in the suction or discharge of this pump. This will cause
excessive friction loss and will damage the pump and void the warranty.
CAUTION:
All connections must be air tight. A single leak will prevent proper operation of the
pump and may cause the pump to run dry. If the pump runs dry, this will void the warranty.
1. Positioning the Pump:
a. Place the pump as close as possible to the water
source, keeping the vertical distance from the
water to the pump as small as possible (max lift is
25 ft.).
b. Place the pump (A) on level support.
c. Install a 3/4 in. foot valve, sold separately (Item
#0023581), when the suction lift is over 10 ft. or
when the suction line is more than 10 ft. long. The
foot valve will keep the pump primed when it is
turned off.
d. You can use a regular garden hose (sold
separately) as the discharge line.
Note:
The inlet line may be PVC or reinforced hose.
Small leaks in the suction line greatly reduce the
effi ciency of the pump and may prevent priming.
