Hose dimension should be longer than
water suction port dimension. Minimum hose
dimension shall be as following:
• 1" water pump 25mm
• 1.5" water pump 40mm
• 2" water pump 50 mm
• 3" water pump 80 mm
• 4" water pump 100 mm
• 6" water pump 150mm
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the
hose connector to the suction in order to
prevent air and water leakage. Check to
ensure that the hose connector sealing
washer is in a good condition.
Install the strainer (provided with the pump)
on the other end of the suction hose and
secure it with a hose clamp. The strainer
will help prevent the pump from becoming
clogged or damaged by debris.
4. Discharge Hose Installation
Use the commercially available hose and hose
connector, and the hose clamp provided with
the pump to install the discharge, and tighten
the clamp. Firmly fix the discharge hose without
moving.

It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose,
because that will reduce fluid
friction and improve pump's output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely to prevent the
discharge hose from disconnecting under a high
pressure.
5. Priming The Pump
Before starting the engine, make sure to fill
the pump with water: screw off the priming
plug and prime the pump fully with clean
water. Don't screw off the priming plug during
operation of the pump to avoid damaging the
equipment and injuring persons. Reinstall
the priming plug and tighten it securely after
priming.
NOTICE : The board will damage
the pump if run dry . If you
accidentally start the pump dry ,
stop the engine immediately and
let it cool before priming .
