USE 1/2" HOSE (OR LARGER)
Use a reinforced hose on the inlet. The pump
should be less than 10' above and less than
25' to one side of the water source. Make the
outlet hose as short as possible – 25' or less.
Check the washer in the inlet fitting to make
sure it is airtight. If this joint leaks air, the
pump will not operate.
NOTICE: The pump depends on the liquid
flowing through it for lubrication.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY!
If the pump does not start to move water in
30 seconds or less, recheck the installation
and plumbing.
Mount the pump solidly on a stable
platform.

No kinks!
KEEP THE HOSES AS STRAIGHT
AS POSSIBLE
To reduce friction, do not coil or kink the
hoses. When pumping from a well or stream,
raise the inlet hose a few inches off the bot-
tom to avoid sucking in sand, silt or pebbles
(which can disable the impeller). Install the
suction attachment (included) to protect the
pump from large solids.
NOTICE: Attach the suction attachment to the
end of the inlet line and place it in at least
1/2" of water at the lowest point to be
pumped. Be sure all connections are air tight.
