OPERATION
SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp
provided with the pump (if necessary). 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.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in
order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the hose connector
sealing washer is in good condition.
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.
Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
