Assemble a barbed hose fitting, 1.
ring nut, and gasket as shown, and
thread the completed hose fitting
assembly onto the pump suction
port.
Push a 1.0" suction hose (not pro-
2.
vided) over the suction hose fitting on
the pump body, and secure with a 1.0"
hose clamp as shown. Working at the
opposite end of the suction hose, use
a second 1.0" hose clamp to install and
secure the suction strainer.
Submerge the suction hose strainer

CAUTION!
This pump is intended for pump-
■
ing fresh water only.
Ingested debris can damage the
■
pump impeller and seals.
Never operate the pump if the
