Semi-Trash Pump location
Place the semi-trash pump in a well- ventilated area . DO
NOT place the semi- trash pump near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces . Carefully consider wind and air
currents when positioning semi- trash pump .
This semi-trash pump must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material . Leave at least
three feet of clearance on all sides of the semi-trash
pump to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and
servicing .
Place the pump on a level surface free from any
obstructions or potential hazards . The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum
pump performance .
Connecting a Hose Kit
1 . Attach and thread the connector to the threaded flange .
2 . Slide the flexible, outlet hose over connector and
secure with the hose clamp .
4 . Fasten the quick coupler to the suction hose with
the hose clamp .
3 . Insert quick coupler in the rigid suction hose .
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and
size of the suction and discharge hoses . The pumping
height, also known as the total head, is the distance
from the water level to the point of discharge . As
this distance increases, pump output decreases . The
discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity .
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less
than the discharge head .
The time required to draw water from the source to
the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by
minimizing the suction head .
OPERATION
Both the intake and discharge ports are 2 in . NPT .
Please insure the connectors to the suction and
discharge hose are 2 in . NPT threaded .
