Operating Tips for Maximum Performance
Minimize friction by using the
correct .0" ID suction and discharge
hoses specified, with a minimum of
connections. Keep all hose runs as
short as possible.
Keep the suction head (vertical lift)
as short as possible. Do not exceed
the pump’s maximum suction head of
6 feet.
Avoid air leaks.
All suction-side connections must
be tightly secured.
Make sure the filler cap and drain
plug on the pump housing are
tight and free from leakage.
Protect the discharge hose from
crushing-type damage, especially
from motor vehicles.
Abrasive debris can damage the
pump impeller and seals, and should
be avoided.
To minimize clogging the strainer
when pumping near mud or debris,
place the strainer in a bucket or on a
bed of stones.

from the pump during operation and
fueling.
Beware the pump may shift sud-
denly during operation, especially
when the hoses first fill with water.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
