Semi-Trash Pump Location
Place the semi-trash pump in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT place the semi-trash pump near vents or
intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into
occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning semi-trash pump.
This semi-trash pump must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m)
of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the semi-
trash pump to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance
and servicing.
Place the pump on a level surface free from any
obstructions or potential hazards. The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum
pump performance.

Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and
size of the suction and discharge hoses. The pumping
height, also known as the total head, is the distance
from the water level to the point of discharge. As this
distance increases, pump output decreases.
The discharge capacity is greater than the suction
capacity. Therefore, it is important that the suction head
is less than the discharge head.
The time required to draw water from the source to
the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by
minimizing the suction head.
OPERATION
Both the intake and discharge ports are 2 in.
(5.1 cm) NPT. Please insure the connectors to the
suction and discharge hose are 2 in. (5.1 cm) NPT
threaded.

Gold (2) : 54-57 mm ID clamp – For green suction hose
connection to pump inlet port (center of pump and
intake screen).
Silver (1) : 52-55 mm ID clamp – For blue discharge hose
Use 52-55 mm ID clamp (silver color) for blue
discharge hose
1. Attach and thread the connector to the threaded
fitting (top of pump). Install silver colored hose
clamp over the blue hose.
2. Slide the blue discharge hose over the discharge
fitting (top of pump) and secure with the hose clamp
(52-55 mm ID) with wrench.
Use 54-57 mm ID clamp (gold color) for screen
1. Install gold colored hose clamp over the green
suction hose. Slide the green suction hose over the
screen and secure the hose clamp (54-57mm ID)
with wrench.
