2. Safety Instructions

Adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the hose or injury.

• Always inspect the hose for any signs of damage, kinks, or wear before each use. Do not use a damaged hose.
• Ensure all connections are secure and clamps are tightened properly to prevent leaks or disconnections during operation.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 60 psi.
• Avoid exposing the hose to temperatures outside its specified range of 5°F to 149°F (-15°C to 65°C) during use.
• Lay the hose flat and straight during operation to prevent kinking, which can reduce flow and potentially damage the hose.

• When draining water, ensure the discharge area is safe and will not cause flooding or damage to property.

3. Components List

The VEVOR 1.5-inch x 105-foot PVC Lay Flat Discharge Hose package includes:

• 1 x VEVOR 1.5-inch x 105-foot PVC Lay Flat Discharge Hose

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up and install your discharge hose:

1. Prepare the Connection Point: Ensure the outlet of your pump or equipment is clean and free from debris. The equipment outlet should be 1.5 inches or less in diameter for proper fit. If larger, an adapter will be required (not included).
2. Attach the Hose: Slide one of the included metal hose clamps over the end of the discharge hose. Then, slide the hose end onto the outlet of your pump or equipment.
3. Secure with Clamp: Position the hose clamp over the connection point, ensuring it firmly grips both the hose and the equipment outlet. Use a screwdriver to tighten the clamp until the hose is securely fastened and no leaks are present. Do not overtighten.
4. Lay Out the Hose: Unroll the hose completely and lay it flat in the desired direction for water discharge. Ensure there are no kinks or sharp bends that could obstruct water flow or damage the hose.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the hose is securely installed, you can begin operation:

1. Verify Connections: Double-check all hose connections and clamps to ensure they are tight and leak-free.
2. Clear Discharge Path: Confirm that the entire length of the hose is clear of obstructions and laid flat to allow for unimpeded water flow.
3. Activate Water Source: Turn on your pump or water source. Monitor the hose for any signs of leaks, kinks, or unusual pressure.
4. Monitor Discharge: Observe the water discharge to ensure it is flowing as intended and not causing any issues at the discharge point.
5. Shut Down: Once the water transfer or drainage is complete, turn off the pump or water source. Allow any remaining water to drain from the hose before disconnecting.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your VEVOR discharge hose:

• Cleaning: After each use, especially with dirty water, rinse the hose thoroughly with clean water to remove any debris, chemicals, or sediment.
• Drying: Ensure the hose is completely dry before coiling and storing to prevent mold, mildew, or material degradation.
• Storage: Roll up the hose neatly and store it in a dry, shady place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and sharp objects.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or damage to the clamps. Replace if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

Address common issues with your discharge hose:

• Reduced Water Flow: Check for kinks or blockages within the hose. Ensure the pump is operating correctly and the inlet is not obstructed.
• Leaks at Connections: Tighten hose clamps. If leaks persist, inspect the hose end and the equipment outlet for damage or improper fit.
• Hose Kinking: Ensure the hose is laid out straight and flat before starting the pump. Avoid sharp turns or placing heavy objects on the hose.
• Hose Damage: If the hose shows signs of cuts, punctures, or excessive wear, it should be replaced to prevent further issues and ensure safe operation.
