materials. Pump damage could occur if used in these applications and
will void warranty.
All wiring must be performed
by a qualified electrician. The pump

an electrician to ensure proper grounding.
4. BE CERTAIN the pump power source is disconnected
before installing or servicing pump.
5. Be sure the water source and piping are clear of sand,
dirt and scale. Debris will clog pump and void warranty.
6. Failure to protect pump and piping from freezing could cause severe

INSTALLATION
PUMPING FROM LAKES, PONDS OR SMALL STREAMS
1. Locate pump as close as possible to the water source, keeping
the vertical distance from the water to pump as small as possible.
Place pump on level support. Protect against flooding and excessive
moisture.
2. Long lengths of pipe or hose and use of many fittings will reduce
pump flow. Use the smallest number of fittings and shortest possible
length of pipe or hose.
3. Be sure water is clear of debris such as sand, mud, and gravel.
4. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump. The inlet connection is
designed for 1" NPT thread. Rigid pipe such as PVC will work fine
for inlet and outlet pipe. (Reminder: Minimize length of pipe and
number of fittings.) An adapter for garden hose is included (see
Figure 1).
