Suction Hose Installation - Honda and WT40X Owner's Manual

OPERATION
SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION
Use the commercially available hose and hose connector with the
hose clamp provided with the pump. The suction hose must be
reinforced with a noncollapsible wall or braided wire construction.
The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump
performance is best when the pump is near the water level, and the
hoses are short.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction
hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the
hose connector sealing washer is in good condition.
Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the
suction hose, and secure it with a hose clamp. The strainer will help to
prevent the pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
