OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS To safely realize the full potential of this pump, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls. Before operating the pump for the first time, please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on page and the chapter titled BEFORE OPERATION . -
Page 17: Pump Placement
OPERATION PUMP PLACEMENT For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to produce the greatest output with the least self-priming time. As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. Maximum head specifications are shown in the tables on page . -
Page 18: Suction Hose Installation
OPERATION SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION Use the hose, hose connector and hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction to prevent suction hose collapse. 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. -
Page 19: Discharge Hose Installation
OPERATION DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION Attach a hose and hose connector to the pump’s discharge port. It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because this will reduce fluid friction and improve pump performance. A long or small- diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduce pump output. If the discharge hose is equipped with a shutoff valve or nozzle, do not shut off the discharge water for a long period of time, as that could cause the pump to overheat. - Page 20 OPERATION Overtightening the adapter can damage the threads. If the garden hose is equipped with a shut off valve or nozzle, do not shut off the discharge water for a long period of time, as that could cause the pump to overheat. Do not install the adapter on the pump suction port.
