4.6 Installing the Pump
Requirements Completed before-installing-the-pump procedures
Procedure Perform the procedure below to install the pump.
NOTICE: Do not use collapsible hoses on the suction side of the pump.
1. Place the pump as near to the water to be pumped as possible.
2. Check that hose couplings/nipples (b) are installed and secure.
3. Make sure the suction strainer (e) is clean and securely attached to the end of
the suction hose.
4. Connect the suction hose (d) to the pump with two clamps (c). Position the
suction hose so that:
 there is a continual upward slope from the water source to the pump
 the suction hose/strainer in the water source will stay submerged as the
water source level drops
 the suction hose is as short as possible
 there are no loops in the suction hose
 there are no air leaks.
5. Connect the discharge hose (f) to the pump with clamp (g).
6. Lay the discharge hose (f) out as straight as possible. Position the discharge
hose so that:
 there are no sharp bends or loops in the hose
 the hose is less than 8.1 m (25 ft) above or away from the pump
 the hose is not a tripping hazard on the job site.
NOTICE: Maximum discharge head is 8.1 m (25 ft) or 0.8 bar (10.9 psi). Operating
the pump over this head or pressure will cause the pump to stall and/or gearbox
damage.
