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.
