OIL THE PUMP
Oil the pump with 1/2 tablespoon food
grade mineral or vegetable oil with each
use. Pour the oil in the ‘IN’ port. Three 1/2
tablespoon oil packets are included.
NOTICE: The pump depends on the liquid
being pumped for lubrication.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY!
If the pump does not start to move water in
30 seconds or less, recheck the installation
and plumbing.
Mount the pump solidly on a stable
platform.
USE 1/2" HOSE (OR LARGER)
Use a reinforced hose on the inlet. The
pump should be less than 10’ above and
less than 25’ to one side of the water
source. Make the outlet hose as short as
possible – 25’ or less.
Check the washer in the inlet fitting to
make sure it is airtight. If this joint leaks
air, the pump will not operate.
