INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE submersible pump.

The CLARKE range of submersible pumps are suitable for discharging pools,

ponds, fountains, pits and any waste water drainage. They can handle foul

water containing suspended material as stated in the specification. The

pumps are not suitable for handling inflammable, corrosive, explosive or

dangerous liquids. The pump is water-cooled and does not contain any oil.

The ‘Pump Performance Curve’ graph shown, displays the characteristics

graphically and describes the relation between the flow-rate and the head

for the pump.

The pump is provided with a thermal overload cut-out, so that in the event

that the pump becomes overheated (due to becoming blocked etc) it will

shut off automatically. When the blockage has been cleared, the thermal

cutout will cool down and re-set and the pump can be re-started.

Before attempting to use this product, it is essential that you read this manual

thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you will ensure

the safety of yourself and that of others around you, and you can also look

forward to the product giving you long and satisfactory service.

because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following

the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as

insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.

If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings

on the plug proceed as follows.

• The BLUE wire must be

connected to the

terminal marked N or

coloured black.

• The BROWN wire must

be connected to the

terminal marked L or

coloured red.

PUMP POSITIONING AND HOSE CONNECTION

Remove all packaging and make sure that the unit contains no visible

damage. Dispose of all packaging appropriately.

CONNECTING THE PUMP

1. Connect the hose to the outlet adaptor.

2. Always use the largest diameter hose possible as any restriction will reduce

capacity and put unnecessary strain on the motor especially if a long run

of discharge hose is being used.

• The outlet adaptor fitting allows for connection of 25 mm (1”) hose

which should be secured with a hose clamp.

• Suitable hoses are available from your local CLARKE dealer.

POSITIONING THE PUMP

1. It may be safer to raise and lower the pump into deep water using a rope

attached to the lifting handle.

2. Place the pump in a vertical position resting on a firm, flat surface in the

area that you want to drain. If there is sediment in the operating area, the

pump should be placed vertically on house bricks or similar but ensure they

are not likely to collapse. Never position the pump on sand, silt, mud or

ground which is likely to collapse.

3. Keep the pump clear of sediment by standing it on a platform or brick or

suspending from a rope attached to the handle if the pump is to be used

where there may be silt or mud etc (e.g. garden ponds).

4. Route the hose as straight as possible. Excessive bending of the hose could

obstruct the flow of water, reduce the pumping volume or clog the pump

with mud, thus disabling the pumps function. If the hose is kinked at its base

it will create air pockets in the pump, causing it to operate in a partially dry

state. Take care to straighten any kinks or bends in the hose.

5. DO NOT operate the pump if the water is too shallow. This will be below the

level of the outlet elbow with the impeller fully immersed. The pump inlet

must be fully submerged before being switched on.

6. Allowance must also be made for the overall width of the pump including

the outlet elbow on one side.

• When the pump is being used in a permanent or semi-permanent

installation, a non-return valve should be fitted in the delivery hose.

Suitable hoses and valves are available from your CLARKE dealer.

• Take all necessary precautions as described on pages 4-5.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

USING THE PUMP

1. Plug in the pump and switch on the power supply.

• The pump will begin to drain water.

2. Run the pump continuously or remove from the water and store in a frost

free location if the water is likely to freeze.

3. Never run the pump dry. Ensure the pump is switched off when water has

stopped flowing.

• The pump should be able to clear water down to a residual depth of

the inlet port, In this situation, air and residual water may be seen

escaping from the discharge hose.

4. Disconnect from the power supply when the water has been pumped out.

Avoid running the pump continuously if the discharge hose has become

obstructed and water is not flowing.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

These pumps are fitted with automatic thermal overload protection.

If the pump overheats due to an obstruction in the pump, or pumping warm

water for example, it will shut off automatically.

Switch the pump OFF at the mains supply. Check for blockages and allow the

motor to cool (at least 5 minutes) by which time the cut-out will have reset.

Once the pump has cooled the pump will automatically restart.

WARNING: CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE, DO NOT USE THE

PUMP IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

The pump should require no maintenance other than regular cleaning.

1. Inspect the pump prior to use and do not use the pump if there is any

damage to the mains power cable.

2. Check pump regularly to ensure the inlet is clear of leaves or other debris. It

can be cleaned out either by back-flushing or by removing the base plate

(after undoing the retaining screws) and cleaning out by hand.

3. Take extra care to remove any debris from around the impeller.

4. If the pump has been used for pumping swimming pool water or salty

water likely to leave chemical residues, it should be flushed through with

clean water before storage.

5. When the pump is not being used for extended periods, clean and dry it

thoroughly and store in indoors. if the pump is left in water, it should be run

at least once a week to prevent it from seizing up.

6. If the pump shows signs of wear or damage, contact your CLARKE dealer

for advice. Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself, as you may

damage the waterproof seals and invalidate your guarantee. Repairs

should be carried out by your local CLARKE dealer, or contact the CLARKE

Service Department on 020 8988 7400.
