1. Place the unit as close to the water source as possible to minimize suction lift, obtain the best pumping
performance and aid in priming.

2. For a permanent installation, mount the unit on a foundation that will support the weight of the pump and engine
and also provide stability while the pump is running. For most permanent installations, it is advisable to bolt the unit
directly to the foundation.
NOTE: Setting and/or shifting during operation can cause piping to place excessive strain on the pump and may
damage the pump case. Set the pump on a hard level surface.
3. Connect suction hose (not included) to the pump suction. The hose must be rated to hold the suction pressure and
prevent collapse while the pump is running.
4. Make the suction hose a continuous rise from the water source to the pump. High spots can trap air and also
make priming difficult. Make sure all connections are tight and free of air leaks.
NOTE: Suction hose must be at least as large as the pump suction port in order for the pump to operate properly.
5. Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction hose and secure it with a hose clamp.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT THE STRAINER INSTALLED.
