Suction Hose Installation - Honda WH20 Owner's Manual

SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION

Use a commercially available hose and hose connector. The hose clamp is
provided with the pump.
Most hoses come with the connectors already installed. The suction hose must
be reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction and
cannot contain any perforations.
The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is
best when the pump is near the water level, and the hoses are short.
1. Verify that the hose coupling packing is in good condition.
2. Securely tighten the hose connector to the pump suction port.
3. Install the suction hose to the hose connector.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the suction hose to the hose connector in
order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction.
4. Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction
hose, and secure it with a hose clamp.
The strainer will help to prevent the pump from becoming clogged or
damaged by debris.
Never operate the pump without the strainer installed.
Always use the included strainer or one with an equivalent mesh size. Operating
the pump without a strainer may result in severe pump damage.
