INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - TRANSFERRING WATER

WARNING: Secure the pump on a solid base before use.
CAUTION: Never install a shutoff valve in the suction or discharge of this pump. This will cause
excessive friction loss and will damage the pump and void the warranty.
CAUTION: All connections must be air tight. A single leak will prevent proper operation of the
pump and may cause the pump to run dry. If the pump runs dry, this will void the warranty.
1. Installing the pump:
a. Threaded hose fi ttings (B) are furnished for
attaching garden hoses (sold separately). Wrap
threads of the hose fi ttings with thread tape
before threading into pump (C).
b. In no case should the pump be more than 15 ft.
above or away from the inlet source.
c. The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe,
or reinforced hose. Small leaks in the suction line
greatly reduce the effi ciency of the pump and may
prevent priming.
d. You can use a regular garden hose (sold
separately) as the discharge line (1).
2. Use the strainer (D) when pumping from a creek,
pond, or source where debris may be sucked into
the pump. The strainer should prevent debris from
entering the inlet line (2).
Note: To prevent re-priming during periods of frequent
stopping and restarting of the pump (C), install a
3/4 in. foot valve (sold separately, item #0023581)
instead of the included suction strainer (D). The
foot valve will keep the pump primed when it is
turned off.
Caution: Even when using a foot valve, do not leave the
pump permanently installed.
