3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage during transit. Keep packaging materials for future storage or transport.

3.2 Connecting Hoses

1. Connect the suction hose to the pump's suction inlet. Ensure a tight, airtight connection to prevent air from entering the system, which can reduce pump efficiency.
2. Connect the pressure hose (e.g., garden hose) to the pump's pressure outlet. The G1" connection size allows for easy attachment of standard garden hoses.

3.3 Priming the Pump

Before initial use, the pump must be primed. This involves filling the pump housing with water to ensure it can create suction.

1. Unscrew the filling cap on top of the pump housing.
2. Pour clean water into the opening until the pump housing is completely filled.
3. Replace and securely tighten the filling cap.
4. Ensure the suction hose is fully submerged in the water source.
