Operation
Water Pump Location
Place the water 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 water pump.
This water pump must have at least five feet
of clearance from combustible material.
Leave at least three feet of clearance on all
sides of the water 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.
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.
Connecting a Hose Kit (not
included)
Hoses are not included the following are
examples of how to connect the hose to the
water pump. Attach and thread the
connector to the threaded flange (Figure 1).
NOTE
Both the intake and discharge ports are 3 in.
NPT. Please insure the connectors to the suction
and discharge hose are 3 in. NPT threaded.

Slide the flexible, outlet hose over connector
and secure with a hose clamp (Figure 2).
