Operation

1. Attach a suitable lifting cable (rope) to the carrying handle
(Figure 2) on the pump and lower the pump into place. For
applications where there is an excessive amount of mud, grit
or silt, the use of a support platform is desirable. When
pumping water from swimming pool type applications where
there is little or no debris, the support platform is not required.

2. Make sure the pump is always placed in an upright position,
not tilted (Figure 3). Never position the pump directly on a soft,
loose bottom. Remember to attain maximum pumping ca-
pacity and prevent excessive wear, position the pump so it
will not burrow itself into sand or clay.
