WARNING
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY. The pump depends on liquids for cooling and lubrication.
Operating the pump without liquid running through it may cause severe damage t o the impeller
and/or pump housing. Several minutes of dry operation can permanently damage the impeller and
pump.
INSTALLATION
PIPE AND HOSE LINES
It is recommended to use the same size pipe/hose as the discharge size of the pump. Suction
lines must be airtight, and as straight as possible. If pipe/hose runs are over 50’, it is
recommended to use one size larger pipe/hose. The discharge may be reduced when less output
is desired but the pump should not be operated against a closed discharge.
TIP: When pumping from sources that contain sediment or debris, drop the suction hose (with a
strainer or filter attached) to the bottom of the tank, then, lift it up by about 6 inches BEFORE
starting the pump. This keeps unwanted materials from entering the suction line. It is also
recommended to use a screen or filter to remove sediment before it enters the pump as this will
prolong the life of the pump.
FLOW DIRECTION
From the factory, the pump is set up for counter clockwise rotation as shown in Figure 2. To
reverse the direction of the pump, first remove the end plate and impeller. Reinsert the impeller
into the housing making sure the blades of the impeller are oriented in the opposite direction.
Replace end plate, making sure the gasket is properly aligned. NOTE: Make sure the motor is
rotating the same direction as the pump. See Changing Motor Direction in section below.
MOTOR DIRECTION
From the factory, the motor is set up for counter clockwise rotation. To reverse the motor direction
follow the wiring diagrams on the separate instructions included with the pump.
