Preparation - Honda WT20X Owner's Manual

4. PREPARATION

1. Connect the suction hose.
Use commercially available hose, hose connector, and hose bands.
The suction hose must be of reinforced, noncollapsible construction. Suction
hose length should not be longer than necessary, as pump performance is best
when the pump is not far above the water level. Self-priming time is also
proportional to hose length.
The strainer that is provided with the pump should be attached to the end of
the suction hose with a band, as shown.
CAUTION:
Always install the strainer on the end of the suction hose before pumping.
The strainer will exclude debris that can cause clogging or impeller
damage.
NOTE:
Tighten the hose connector and bands to prevent air leakage and loss of
suction. A loosely connected suction hose will reduce pump performance and
self-priming ability.
