Couple the suction line with the pump's suction
connection.
Always use the shortest possible suction pipe
Check that all connections are air-tight and that the
suction hose is in good condition
Always ensure the pumped medium is homogeneous
– DO NOT OVER MIX! Air in the slurry affects
performance & can cause serious pump damage by
cavitation.
Difficult suction conditions can seriously affect the
performance of the pump and lead to cavitation
Always fill up the pump with about 3 litres of water
through the side branch of the delivery socket.
