suCTIon hose
1. Remove vinyl cap from suction port (G).
2. Assemble suction hose (A) with clamp (B), hose connecter (C),
hose fitting (D), and sealing washer (E) on one end and strainer
(F) with second clamp on the other end.
3. Attach hose to suction port (G).
NOTE
Longer 25 mm (1 inch) suction hose can be used up to a maximum
length of 7.5 m (24 feet).
IMPORTANT
• Make sure that all hose and pipe connections are air tight. An air
leak in the suction line or suction fittings may prevent priming
and will reduce the pumps capacity or efficiency.
• Keep priming port plug and pump drain plug tightly secured in
place to prevent entry of air into the pump.
• Use an acceptable pipe thread sealant on all threaded nipple con-
nections.
IMPORTANT
Always use the strainer with the suction hose. Gravel or debris
sucked into the pump will cause serious impeller and housing dam-
age.
If the strainer clogs with debris, prevent the strainer from touching
the bottom. Placing the strainer in a submerged bucket or basket
may also work.
