Figure 3. QP305SLT/QPT305SLT Pump Application
1. Discharge Port 1.5-Inch — Connect a flexible rubber
hose to this 1.5-inch discharge port on the pump. Make
sure that the hose lays flat and is not kinked. Use only
recommended type discharge hose. Contact Multiquip
Parts Department for ordering information.
2. Discharge Port 1-Inch — Connect a flexible rubber
hose to these 1-inch discharge ports on the pump.
Make sure that the hose lays flat and is not kinked.
Use only recommended type discharge hose. Contact
Multiquip Parts Department for ordering information.
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
that the hose lays flat and is not kinked. Use only
recommended type discharge hose. Contact Multiquip
Parts Department for ordering information.
6. Pump — The model QP305SLT/QPT305SLT is a
3-inch high pressure centrifugal pump and should
only be used in clear water applications (agricultural,
industrial, residential) as they have a limited soild
handling capability of only 10% by volume.
7. Drain Plug — Remove this plug to drain water from
the pump.
8. Suction Hose — Connect a 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.
