INSTALLATION
Pumping
From
Lakes, Streams,
and Ponds
Locate pump as near as possible (vertically)
to water source,
fn kee l) suction lilt (distance
from water to punlp)
as low as
possible.
Place punq_ on level Sul_port. I'rotecl against ex-
cess moisture and Ilooding
lxmg pipe runs ;rod many litting_
increase friction
and re-
duce flow. Use the smallest possible number of fittings
and
the shortest
possible
nm for piping.

can result in pump
failure
Piping
Both snction
and discharge
ports arc tapped
for 1" NPT

threads.
If using hoses, use hose
adapters. When pumping from lakes, streams or ponds, use
reinforced hose supplied with pump. Ordinary garden hose
will collapse and cause pump failure. Keep strainer with l_)ot
valve on end of suction hose. Inspect and clean strainer fre-
quently (Figure 1).
NOTICE: An air leak in suction
pipe may draw air in al-
though no water leaks ()tit. Make sure there arc no air leaks
or air pockets in suction pipe.
