Positioning The Pump
1. Place the pump close to the water that is required to be pumped (Fig. 1).
Note: Ensure the pump is no further than 5m away from the water's edge. For best
pump performance, place the pump near the water level and use hoses that are no
longer than necessary.
Suction Inlet
Connecting Hose or Pipe to the Suction Inlet (not included)
Note: Keep all hoses short and as straight as possible, failure to do so may decrease the pumps performance.
Note: It is recommended that a filter (25) and check valve (not included) is installed at the end of the suction hose
or pipe in order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid
foreign materials entering.
Note: Reinforced or ridge suction hoses are required on the suction line to prevent the pipe from collapsing due to
pressure from suction.
Caution: All connections require being air tight, failure to do so can result in an air leak which can prevent the pump
from priming. It is recommended that a thread sealant (not included) and/or Teflon tape (not included) is used on
threads to ensure a water tight seal and prevent any leakage during assembly.
1. Assemble the hose clamp (23) and filter strainer (25) to the intake side of the
suction hose (Fig. 2).
2. Tighten the hose clamp (23) tightly, ensuring that it clamps the hose against the
filter strainer (25) (Fig. 2).
3. Insert a hose adapter (24) into one of the collars (22).
Note: Ensure that an o-ring (21) is fitted into the collar (22) (Fig. 3), failure to do so
may result in an air leak.
4. Fasten the hose adapter/collar assembly to the outlet side of the suction
hose with a hose clamp (23) (Fig. 4).
5. Add thread sealant (not included) and/or Teflon tape (not included) onto the
suction inlet (8).
