Hose Connections

1.Connect a 2-inch hose to the discharge port on the pump as shown in Figure 11. Make sure that hose is attached correctly to the discharge port.

Attaching Lifting Rope

1.Attach a suitable lifting cable (rope) to the carrying handle (Figure 11) on the pump and lower the pump into place. For applications where there is an excessive amount of mud, grit or silt, the use of a support platform is desirable.When pumping water from swimming pool type applications where there is little or no debris, the support platform is not required.

Upright Position (Correct)

2.Make sure the pump is always placed in an upright position (Figure 11, and not tilted (Figure 12). Never position the pump directly on a soft, loose bottom. Remember to attain maximum pumping capacity and prevent excessive wear. Position the pump so it will not burrow itself into sand or clay.
