SETUP & INSTALLATION
Positioning The Pump
1. Place the pump close to the water that is required to be pumped (Fig. 1).
Note:
Ensure the pump is no further than 5m away from the water's edge.
2. Fill the engine crank case with oil (not included).
Note:
SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended, refer to the maintenance section for more
information.
Suction Inlet
Connecting Hose or Pipe to the Suction Inlet
Note:
Keep all hoses short and as straight as possible, failure to do so may decrease the pressure pumps performance.
Note:
It is recommended that a filter (30) and check valve (not included) is installed at the end of the suction hose or pipe.
In order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid
foreign materials entering.
Note:
Reinforced or ridge suction hoses are required on the suction line to prevent the pipe from collapsing due to
pressure from suction.
Caution:
All connections require being air tight, failure to do so cause result in an air leak which can prevent the
pump from priming. It is recommended that a thread sealant (not included) and/or Teflon tape (not included) is
used on threads to ensure a water tight seal and prevent any leakage during assembly.
1. Assemble the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") hose clamp (28) and filter (30) strainer to the intake
side of the suction hose (Fig. 2).
2. Tighten the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") hose clamp (28) tightly ensuring it clamps the hose
against the filter (30) strainer (Fig. 2)
3. Assemble the inlet adaptor (a) by inserting into the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") collar (26) in (Fig. 3).
Note:
Ensure the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") o-ring (29) is fitted into the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") collar (26),
failure to do so may result in an air leak.
4. Assemble the 40mm (1
1
/
2
") hose clamp (28) and the assembled inlet adaptor to
the outlet side of the suction hose (Fig. 4).
5. Add thread sealant (not included) and/or Teflon tape (not included) on to the
suction inlet (13).
