OPERATION
Pump Placement
1.Attach a suitable lifting chain to the eye bolts (Figure 10) on the pump. Use a crane, or similar lifting device 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.
2.Make sure the pump is always placed in an upright position, not tilted (Figure 11). Never position the pump directly on a soft, loose bottom. To attain maximum pumping capacity and prevent excessive wear, position the pump so it will not burrow itself into sand or clay.
