3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.
Installation Location:
Install the pump in a clean, dry, and ventilated area. Ensure adequate space for servicing and protection from freezing temperatures. The pump should be bolted to a stable foundation, preferably concrete, with adequate drainage.
Connecting Hoses:
The pump features 1-inch NPT inlet and outlet ports. Use appropriate fittings and ensure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks and maintain prime.

Priming the Pump:
WARNING: Do not run the pump before priming it. Running dry will damage the seal and impeller.
- Remove the plug from the pump casing or the street tee.
- Pour clean water into the unit until the casing and suction line are completely filled.
- Replace the plug securely.

Periodic Checks:
- Inspect hoses and connections for wear, cracks, or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Ensure the pump's cooling vents are clear of debris to allow for proper heat dissipation.
- Check the power cord for any damage.
