DO NOT
allow the strainer to rest on bottom of lake or riverbed. Check strainer frequently to make sure that it is not
clogged with moss, leaves, etc.
!
DO NOT
lift strainer from water while the pump is operating. Use a rope or other means to keep strainer at proper
height, approximately 1 foot (30 cm) below water surface. If strainer is too close to the water surface, it will draw air
and pump may lose prime.
3. Connect discharge hose, nozzles, etc., to pump
, and tighten
firmly with coupling wrench.
