Semi-Trash Pump Location
Place the semi-trash pump in a well ventilated area. DO
NOT place the semi-trash pump near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied
or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air
currents when positioning semi-trash pump.
This semi-trash pump must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the semi-
trash pump to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance
and servicing.
Place the pump on a level surface free from any
obstructions or potential hazards. The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum
pump performance.
Connecting a Hose Kit
1. Attach and thread the connector to the threaded flange.
2. Slide the flexible, outlet hose over connector and
secure with the hose clamp.
4. Fasten the quick coupler to the suction hose with
the hose clamp.
5. Wrap the 2 in. (5.1 cm) NPT inlet clockwise with
the Teflon tape provided. Carefully thread the male
connector to the intake port.
3. Insert quick coupler in the rigid suction hose.
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and
size of the suction and discharge hoses. The pumping
height, also known as the total head, is the distance
from the water level to the point of discharge. As
this distance increases, pump output decreases. The
discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less
than the discharge head.
The time required to draw water from the source to
the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by
minimizing the suction head.
OPERATION
Both the intake and discharge ports are 2 in.
(5.1 cm) NPT. Please insure the connectors to the
suction and discharge hose are 2 in. (5.1 cm) NPT
threaded.
NOTE
Connecting a Host Kit Cont’d.
