OPERATION

Chemical Pump Location

Place the chemical pump in a well ventilated area. DO
NOT place the chemical pump near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air
currents when positioning chemical pump.
This chemical pump must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the chemical
pump to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and
servicing.
Place the pump on a level surface free from any
obstructions or potential hazards. The pump should be
placed close to the water or chemical level to ensure
maximum pump performance.
TOTAL HEAD
SUCTION HEAD
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and
size of the suction and discharge hoses. The pumping
height, also known as the total head, is the distance
from the water level to the point of discharge. As
this distance increases, pump output decreases. The
discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less
than the discharge head.
The time required to draw water or chemicals from the
source to the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased
by minimizing the suction head.
WARNING
DO NOT run the pump dry.
Running the pump dry can destroy the pump seals
and will void the warranty. If the pump was running
while dry, stop the engine and allow it to cool
thoroughly before filling the chamber with water.

Pumping

ONLY liquid materials, chemicals and pesticides
are for use with this pump. Dry, solid or aerosolized
materials, chemicals and pesticides are not to be
used with this pump. Fumigants of any kind are not to
be used with this pump.
Once certain materials, chemicals or pesticides are
used with the pump it is recommended that the
pump is not used to water plants, trees, crops, live
stock, or any other living creatures as certain material,
chemicals and pesticides residue may remain in pump
and be pumped through with any water or other liquid.
This may cause serious harm to or even kill any plant
life, crops, livestock or other living creatures.
DISCHARGE HEAD
Flush the pump after every use. Flushing the pump,
pipes and hose kits with water will only help to
reduce the residue build up of materials, chemicals,
and pesticide used and may not flush out the
pump, pipes and hose kits completely.
Liquids Only - This pump may be used to transfer
and pump a variety of chemicals and certain other
substances including water, but they all must be liquid
form only. This pump is not meant to have any solids,
debris or trash, pass through or pumped through it.
This will damage the pump. Please only pump liquid
materials. A strainer or filter is always recommended for
use when pumping, as this may help catch any solids
that may otherwise pass through and damage the pump.
Chemicals - This pump may be used to pump certain
chemicals, but must follow any warnings, cautions
and directions for that specific chemical(s). Certain
chemicals can be and are hazardous. They must be
handled with care and caution at all times. Follow all
local and federal laws for any and all chemicals. DO
NOT mix chemicals. Flushing the pump with water after
using chemicals is recommended.
