Suction Hose Installation - Honda WX15T Owner's Manual

OPERATION

SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION

Use a commercially available 1.5 inch diameter hose and hose
connector with the hose clamp 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.
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.
