LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

_,WARNING ] Hazardous pressure. Pump body may ex-

plode if used as a booster pump unless re-

lief valve capable of passing full pump flow at 75 PSi
(517 kPa) is installed.

_WARNING1 Explosion hazard. Never run pump with

Joutlet shut off or blocked. If water is

trapped in pump during operation, it may turn to

steam, leading to explosion and burns.

NOTICE

Pump clean water only with pump. To avoid clogging
pump and damage to shaft seal, do not pump water con-
taining solids, foreign material, sand, silt, or abrasives.

Always have suction strainer installed when pump is oper-
ating. Failure to use strainer may cause pump failure and

void warrant3'.
Clean strainer and flush out pump after each use.

Make sure all hose and pipe connections in suction line are
tight. An air leak in suction line will prevent proper priming

and reduce performance
To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe joint

compounds on pump ports. Use only teflon tape or Plasto-

Joint-Stik* to seal threads.

Tighten all piping joints to pump hand tight +1-1/2 tums only.

Overtightening may break pump and will void warranty.

This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water

or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty.

INSTALLATION

Pumping From Lakes, Streams, and Ponds

Locate pump as near as possible (vertically) to water source,
fn kee l) suction lilt (distance from water to punlp) as low as

possible. Place punq_ on level Sul_port. I'rotecl against ex-
cess moisture and Ilooding

lxmg pipe runs ;rod many litting_ increase friction and re-
duce flow. Use the smallest possible number of fittings and

the shortest possible nm for piping.
Support weight of pipe

[k" sure water is clear of debris wllieh can dog ptmlp, such

as sand, dirt, or scale, l:_esure fl)ot valve and hose are clean
and in good condition; scale or dirt in f_)ot valve can cause

valve to leak. Valve leakage may cause pump to lose prime,
which can result in pump failure

Piping

Both snction and discharge ports arc tapped for 1" NPT
(National Pipe Thread) threads. If using hoses, use hose
adapters. When pumping from lakes, streams or ponds, use

reinforced hose supplied with pump. Ordinary garden hose

will collapse and cause pump failure. Keep strainer with l_)ot

valve on end of suction hose. Inspect and clean strainer fre-
quently (Figure 1).

NOTICE: An air leak in suction pipe may draw air in al-

though no water leaks ()tit. Make sure there arc no air leaks

or air pockets in suction pipe.
