OPERATING PROCEDURE
a.
Setup Instructions. Proper selection of an operating site is important for efficient and trouble-free pump
operation. Since the pump unit is self contained, it can be moved to the most favorable operating site. Select operating
site with the following characteristics:
(1)
Locate unit as close as possible to the water to be pumped. Keep the suction hose and the amount of lift
as short as possible.
(2)
The operating site should be as level as possible (no more than 15 degrees slope) or the engine lubrication
system may not work properly.
(3)
Keep the suction and discharge hoses as short and straight as possible.
(4)
Allow adequate space to permit support of the suction and discharge hoses where they enter the pump.
b.
Securing Trailer at Site.
