OPERATION
Always use an Exhaust Hose and be certain the free end of
the Hose is kept well above the surface of the liquid.
Do not allow the pump to operate at free speed (not
submerged) for long periods of time. The frictional heat
generated will damage the composition sealing members.
Prevent dirt from entering the pump. When pumping from a
ditch or natural sump, set the pump on a board or flat stone
or suspend it a few inches from the bottom of the sump.
Arranging a wire screen around the inlet or setting the
pump in a wire basket is also recommended.
If the inlet becomes clogged, stop the motor and lift the
pump from the liquid. Liquid flowing through the
discharge line will usually flush the obstruction from the
inlet.
If the pump is stopped while pumping dirty liquids, gravel
washed back through the pump by the liquid in the
discharge line may sprag the impeller and prevent the
motor from starting when the air is turned on. If the gravel
cannot be dislodged by jarring or striking the pump with a
wooden block; make sure that the air is turned off, remove
the air line from the pump, remove the Inlet and rotate the
Impeller by hand.

INSTALLATION
Air Supply and Connections
Always use clean dry air at 90 psig maximum air pressure.
Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin
the motor of an air tool. An air line filter can greatly
increase the life of an air tool. The filter removes dust and
moisture. Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size
and are tightly secured. See Dwg. TPD905–1 for a typical
piping arrangement.
