kits can be purchased separately through www.
stormsurgepumps.com.
Assemble Intake Hose to Couplings as follows:
1. Place B-Nut on barbed hose end flange.
2. Place a hose clamp over the end of the hose.
3. Slide open end of hose over the barbed hose end flange.
NOTE: Use dish soap to lubricate the hose end and fitting.
This will assist in sliding the hose over the barbed
hose end fitting.

void your warranty. The intake strainer has been
designed to prevent large debris from entering the
pump intake which can cause damage.
