Attach a hose and hose connector to the pump’s discharge port.
It is best to use a short, large-diameter hose, because this will reduce
fluid friction and improve pump performance. A long or small-
diameter hose will increase fluid friction and reduce pump output.
If the discharge hose is equipped with a shutoff valve or nozzle, do not
shut off the discharge water for a long period of time, as that could
cause the pump to overheat.
An adapter is supplied with the pump for optional connection of a
garden hose to the pump discharge port. Garden hose is a convenient
and economical option for carrying the discharged water, though its
smaller diameter will reduce the maximum discharge capacity of the
pump.
Hand-tighten the adapter, just tight enough to prevent leakage, then
attach the garden hose to the adapter.
