1. Attach a suitable lifting cable (rope) to the carrying
handle (Figure 9) on the pump and lower the pump
into place. For applications where there is an excessive
amount of mud, grit or silt, the use of a support platform
is desirable. When pumping water from swimming pool
type applications where there is little or no debris, the
support platform is not required.

2. Make sure the pump is always placed in an upright
position, not tilted (Figure 10). Never position the pump
directly on a soft, loose bottom. Remember to attain
maximum pumping capacity and prevent excessive
wear, position the pump so it will not burrow itself into
sand or clay.

3. If all of the pump's electrical requirements have been
met, place the circuit breaker or power ON/OFF switch
in the ON position.
4. Wait a few seconds and water should begin to flow
from the discharge hose.
5. If water is not flowing from the discharge hose or not
flowing freely after a few minutes, remove the power
from the pump and check the system for leaks.
6. To stop the pump from pumping, place the circuit
breaker or ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
