Operating Tips for Maximum Performance

Minimize friction by using the 

correct .0" ID suction and discharge 

hoses specified, with a minimum of 

connections. Keep all hose runs as 

short as possible.
Keep the suction head (vertical lift) 

as short as possible.  Do not exceed 

the pump’s maximum suction head of 

6 feet.
Avoid air leaks.

All suction-side connections must 

be tightly secured.
Make sure the filler cap and drain 

plug on the pump housing are 

tight and free from leakage.

Protect the discharge hose from 

crushing-type damage, especially 

from motor vehicles.
Abrasive debris can damage the 

pump impeller and seals, and should 

be avoided.
To minimize clogging the strainer 

when pumping near mud or debris, 

place the strainer in a bucket or on a 

bed of stones.

CAUTION!
Sudden pressure increases (such as 
from vehicles driving on the discharge 
hose) can split the discharge hose and 
may also damage the pump body.

Keep all pets and bystanders away 
from the pump during operation and 
fueling.

Beware the pump may shift sud-
denly during operation, especially 

when the hoses first fill with water.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, 
or long hair that could get caught in 
machinery.
