Liquid Fertilizer Option
The pump should always be mounted even with or lower
than the fertilizer tank.
Hose arrangement is important for efficient pump opera-
tion. If you will be using fewer hoses than there are on the
pump, remove pump hoses from near the center of the in-
take manifold (1) and cap the intake ports (2).
