		ventilation should be considered as well, to provide the pump an environment for long life.
		Locate the pump directly under the strainer of laundry tub or sink as per installation diagram
		(see page 4).
		Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when many elbows and
		fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be considered as 1
		feet of head.
		Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur.
