Honda Power Equipment QP205SH manual Setup

Page 17

SETUP

1.Place pump as near to water as possible, on a firm flat, level surface.

2.To prime pump, remove fill cap (See Figure 3) and fill pump casing with water. If the pump casing is not filled with water before starting, it will not begin pumping.

3.Attach suction and discharge hoses to the pump. Check that all hoses are securely attached to the pump. Make certain suction hose (See Figure 3) does not have any air leakage. Tighten hose clamps and couplings as required.

4.It is recommended that 2 clamps be used when securing the suction hose to the inlet side (suction) of the pump.

5.Remember suction hoses must be rigid enough not to collapse when the pump is in operation.

6.Check that the discharge hose (See Figure 3) is not restricted. Place hose so that it lays as straight as it is possible on the ground. Remove any twists or sharp bends from hose which may block the flow of water.

NOTICE

Suction and discharge hoses are available from Multiquip. Contact your nearest dealer for more information.

7.The discharge hose is usually a collapsible (thin-walled) hose, however if a thin-walled discharge hose is not available, a rigid suction hose can be substituted in its place.

8.Make sure the suction strainer (See Figure 3) is clean and securely attached to the water end of the suction hose. The strainer is designed to protect the pump by preventing large objects from being pulled in to the pump.

CAUTION

The strainer should be positioned so it will remain completely under water. Running the pump with the strainer above water for long periods can damage the pump.
