Your water pump requires some set up and is ready for use after it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil and fuel.
1. Attach Suction Hose to Strainer Basket
Slide hose clamp over hose. Attach open end of suction hose to strainer
hose barb. Tighten hose clamp securely.
2. Connect Suction Hose (Mandatory)
Attach Suction Hose by connecting camlocks. It is vital that the
connections are air tight. If suction hose has any air leaks it will
prevent proper priming of pump.
3. Connect Discharge Hose (Optional)
If desired, use a commercially available hose. DO NOT use a hose with
an inside diameter smaller than the pump's discharge port size.

OPERATION
Pump Operation and set up
When setting up your pump, it is important to understand it's lift capacity.
Lift capacity is categorized into three different sections.
(as shown on page 14)
Suction lift is the vertical distance from the liquid source to the pump
inlet. Due to the weight of water this can be no more than 26ft. As such,
the standard suction hose is 25ft in length. The shorter the suction lift
distance, the faster the machine will prime and the better it's performance.
Discharge lift is the vertical distance between the pump's discharge port
to the end of the discharge hose. This distance will vary depending on the
size, and power of the machine.
Total lift is the sum of the suction lift, and the discharge lift. This is the
total vertical lift capacity of the machine from water source to discharge
point. As total lift increases, the output flow rate of the water decreases.
Keep in mind, "Lift" defines the vertical lifting capacity. If the liquid is being
moved horizontally, then the pump can move it a much greater distance (in
this event, always add hose length to the discharge side, never the
suction side.)
*Please note, in some instances the word "head" can be used to refer
to "lift".
Move Water Pump to Safe Operating Location
For best pump performance, locate the pump on a flat, level surface as
close as possible to the water to be pumped. Secure water pump to avoid
tip-over. Use hoses that are no longer than necessary.
IMPORTANT: Direct open end of discharge hose away from home,
electrical devices or anything not desired to get wet.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
•
This water pump is not for use in mobile equipment or
marine applications
•
DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
•
Secure water pump. Loads from hoses may cause tip over.
