INSPECTION
This pump was thoroughly inspected, tested, and packaged
before shipment. Report any damage immediately to the
store where it was purchased.
INSTALLATION
1. Locate pump as close as possible to water being pumped.
Pump must be less than 10 feet (3m) above reservoir and
less than 25 feet (7.6m) to one side of reservoir.
2. To help priming, pour contents of one mineral oil packet
(supplied with pump) in inlet port. If packets are all gone,
cooking oil may be substituted.
3. Mount pump solidly on a stable platform.
NOTICE: Protect motor from rain or washdown; it is en-
closed but not waterproof.
4. Make sure washer in inlet fitting is clean and in good con-
dition. If this joint leaks air, pump will not operate.
5. Install strainer to protect pump from large solids.
6. Attach inlet and discharge hoses to pump. Minimum di-
ameter of inlet hose is 1/2"(12.7mm). Be sure inlet hose
is airtight and that both hoses are free of kinks and re-
strictions.
7. When pumping from a well or stream, place suction end
of inlet hose a few inches above the bottom to prevent
the pump from sucking sand, silt or pebbles.
