3. Fill Cap — Prior to operation, the pump casing should
be filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to
the pump. After the initial prime, a sufficient amount of
water will be retained in the casing so that the operator
will not need to re-prime later.
4. Worm Clamp — Used to secure the hose to the inlet
and outlet ports on the pump. Use two clamps to secure
the hose on the inlet side of the pump.
5. Discharge Hose — Connect a flexible rubber
hose to the discharge port on the pump. Make sure

recommended type discharge hose. Contact Multiquip
Parts Department for ordering information.
6. Pump — The model QP205SH is a 2-inch centrifugal
pump and should only be used in only clear water
applications (agricultural, industrial, residential) as
they have a limited solid handling capability of only
10% by volume.
7. Drain Plug — Remove this plug to drain water from
the pump.
8. Suction Hose — Connect this flexible rubber hose to
the suction port on the pump. Make sure that the hose
lays flat and is not kinked. Use only recommended type
suction hose. Contact Multiquip parts department for
ordering information.
9. Strainer — Always attach a strainer to bottom side of
the suction hose to prevent large objects and debris
from entering the pump. Strainer should be positioned
so that it will remain completely under water. Running
the pump with the strainer above water for long periods
can damage pump.
