4) Do not lift the pump by pulling on the power cable or the delivery pipe/hose. A suitable
lifting system (rope or chain) must be used.
5) The pump is designed to operate partially or fully submerged. Avoid running the pump
dry for extended periods of time.
6) As a general rule, top drive pumps to a level above the suction screen. Pumping at a
lower level will allow air to enter the pump, causing it to cavitate, de-prime or run dry within
an air bubble.
7) Running the pump dry for extended periods of time can damage the seals and overheat
the motor.
8) Never place the pump on a loose or soft base. The pump may sink or tip over, preventing
water from reaching the impeller. Always place the pump on a solid surface or suspend it
by a rope or chain.
9) Do not remove the screen to prevent large solids from jamming the impeller. Any spheri-
cal solids passing through the screen should be able to pass through the pump.
10) To achieve maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-foldable hose or
noncollapsible hose or rigid pipe. A check valve can be installed downstream of the drive to
prevent water hammer when the pump stops.
