Place the pump as close as possible to the water source, keeping the vertical
distance from the water to the pump as small as possible.
(maximum lift is 25' (7.6 m)).
Place the pump on a level support.
You can use a regular 3/4" garden hose (sold separately) as the discharge line.
Install a 3/4" (1.9 cm) foot valve (sold separately) when the suction lift is over 10'
(3 m) or when the inlet line is more than 10' (3 m) long, the foot valve will keep
the pump primed when it is turned off.
The water inlet line may be PVC or reinforced garden hose. Small leaks
in the inlet line greatly reduce the efficiency of the pump and may prevent priming.

NOTICE
If the reinforced garden hose is used for inlet line, the hose could
collapse, allowing the pump to run dry. This could cause permanent damage and void
warranty. This pump is designed to sprinkle lawns and small gardens from lakes, ponds,
or rivers, empty or fill stock tanks, remove standing water from flooded areas or transfer
water. Flammable liquids such as gasoline, chemicals, or corrosive liquids should never
be used with this pump. This pump is not intended for permanent installation or long,
extended periods of continuous operation. This pump is not to be used with pop-up
sprinklers.
NOTICE
Never install a shutoff valve in the inlet or discharge of this pump. This will
cause excessive friction loss and will damage the pump and void the warranty. AII connections
must be airtight. A single leak will prevent proper operation of the pump and may cause the
pump to run dry. If the pump runs dry, this will void the warranty.
