3. PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING
CONNECT SUCTION HOSE
Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose
to prevent suction collapse.
Since the pump's self-priming time is
directly proportional to hose length, a
short hose is recommended.
CAUTION
Always use a strainer with the
suction hose. Gravel or debris
sucked into the pump will cause
serious damage to the impeller and
the pump casting.
CONNECT DELIVERY HOSE
When using a fabric hose, always use a
hose band to prevent the hose from
disconnecting under high pressure.
