OPERATION
1. Attach a suitable lifting cable (rope) to the carrying
handle (Figure 18) 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 19). Never position the pump
directly on a soft, loose bottom. Remember to attain
maximum pumping capacity and prevent excessive
wear, position the pump so it will not burrow itself into
sand or clay.
