GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1. ALWAYS obey all safety precautions for the handling of fuel.

2. ALWAYS make sure that you are familiar with this pump, and follow all

instructions in this manual.

3. ALWAYS make sure that the pump is positioned correctly to prevent it from

moving during operation.

4. Keep the area adjacent to the pump clear.

5. ALWAYS connect the strainer to the suction hose to stop stones and other

solids from being pulled into the pump. These can cause damage to the

7. Only use parts supplied by the manufacturer. Using non-standard parts can

be dangerous.

8. ALWAYS use at least 300mm of flexible hose to make plumbing connections

to the pump. Rigid piping can put stress on the pump, causing damage. If

you use rigid piping, it must be supported to eliminate stress on the

connections.

BEFORE USE

PUMP PLACEMENT

For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use

hoses that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to

produce the greatest output with the least self-priming time.

As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. The length,

type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect

pump output.

Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability, so it

is important for suction head to be the shorter part of total head.
