INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Submersible Water Pump. CSE pumps

are designed for pumping clean water only and will pump down to a water

level of 20mm.

This pump is designed for pumping clean water or water containing solids in

suspension and is ideally suited for draining ponds, pools, sumps etc. It is not

designed for pumping slurry, sludge, mud or heavily polluted water, or any

water containing chemicals or other acidic contaminants including salt water.

Pumps fitted with float switches are suitable for permanent or semi-permanent

installations where it is necessary to maintain water at a particular level.

As the water level rises, the float switch will rise and start the pump. As the

water level falls, so will the float switch until it stops the pump. Float switches

are factory set to provide the correct on/off switching mode, however, you

can adjust the level at which the pump cuts out by sliding the float switch

cable in its clip attached to the handle, to either shorten or lengthen as

required. The shorter the cable, the earlier it will cut out and therefore, the

deeper the water will remain at this point.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. These pumps are designed to pump WATER ONLY. Never use for pumping

flammable liquids or chemicals.

2. Never run the pump dry.

3. An approved Residual Current Device (RCD) which has a tripping current

of less than 30mA must be used when pumping from ponds or swimming

pools.

4. Never carry the pump by the mains lead or float switch.

5. Never pull the mains lead to disconnect the pump from the mains socket.

6. Your submersible pump may only be used for pumping water from a

swimming pool when there is no person or animal in the pool.

7. Always disconnect the pump from the electrical supply before placing it

into, or removing it from the water and before any cleaning or

maintenance.

8. Always use the moulded handle (or lifting eye), with a rope or cable

attached when lifting the pump. NEVER lift the pump by the mains cable

or, where fitted, the float switch cable.

9. DO NOT run the pump with the body exposed for longer than 10 minutes.

10. DO NOT install the pump on sand or ground which is likely to shift.

11. Do not use the pump if the water is liable to freeze, as this can cause

damage to the pump. Remove the pump from the water and store it in a

frost free location.

12. If the pump is to be used where there may be silt or mud (for example,

garden ponds), keep the pump clear of any sediment by standing it on a

platform or brick.

13. Do not allow children to touch the pump, cables or connections.

14. Disconnect the pump from the mains supply when not in use.

15. Have the pump repaired by a qualified person.

16. Keep the mains cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

17. Always check the plug, mains cable and float switch cable for damage

before use. Do not use the pump if damaged. Refer to qualified service

personnel for repair.

18. If you have to use an extension lead with this product, it must be designed

for outdoor use and incorporate a cable suitable for use with Class I

appliances.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply

through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or

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.

• The BLUE wire must be

connected to the

terminal which is

marked N or coloured

black.

• The BROWN wire must

be connected to the

terminal which is

marked L or coloured

red.

• The YELLOW AND

GREEN wire must be

connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured green.

AN APPROVED RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) WHICH HAS A TRIPPING

CURRENT OF LESS THAN 30 mA MUST BE USED.

If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any

repairs.

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS

SUPPLY.

PREPARATION

ELBOW

Fit the elbow adaptor to the

pump outlet as shown in the

diagram opposite.

2. Screw the multi-hose adaptor

onto the elbow.

• The multi hose adaptor is

capable of accepting 1”,

¾”and ½” hoses.

1”

¾”

½”

Simply cut the multi hose

connector to the required size

and attach a suitable hose using

with a worm drive clip.

• For maximum efficiency, we

strongly recommend that you

connect a 1¼” diameter hose

to the multi hose adapter.

• Alternatively, you may remove

the multi adapter altogether,

and screw on a 1¼” BSP hose adapter.

The pump is completely submersible and should be placed in a vertical

position on a solid flat surface, placing the pump on a couple of house bricks if

required.

SUITABLE HOSES AND SPARE/REPLACEMENT MULTI HOSE ADAPTERS ARE

AVAILABLE FROM YOUR CLARKE DEALER.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MULTI HOSE ADAPTOR.

USING THE PUMP

1. Place the pump on a flat surface in the area that you want to drain.

• If there is sediment in the operating area the pump should be

placed on house bricks or similar.

• Ensure the pump is positioned with adequate space so that the

movement of the float switch is not restricted - recommended

minimum area of 40 x 40cm.

• ALWAYS raise and lower the pump using a rope attached to the

lifting handle.

• Take all necessary precautions as described on page 3 before

plugging in and switching ON.

2. Connect the mains plug to a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD)

which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.

3. Switch the mains power supply on.

• The pump incorporates a float switch which automatically switches

the pump ON when the water is above a pre-determined level.

• The pump will begin to drain water.

• As the water level falls, so will the float switch until it stops the pump.

4. Disconnect the pump from the mains power supply when finished.

• 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 and disconnect from the mains supply. Check

for blockages and allow the motor to cool (at least 5 minutes)

before attempting to re-start.

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

PUMP IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

WARNING: THE WATER BEING PUMPED WILL BE POLLUTED IF THIS PUMP

BECOMES DAMAGED AND LUBRICANT WITHIN THE PUMP ESCAPES.

WARNING: NEVER CARRY THE PUMP USING THE MAINS POWER CABLE.

DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS USE THE

HANDLE WHEN MOVING THE PUMP.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY

MAINTENANCE

These pumps should require no maintenance other than regular cleaning.

If the pump starts to show signs of wear or damage, contact your CLARKE

dealer for advice.

Do not use the pump if there is any damage to the mains supply cable or to

the float switch or its cable.

Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself as you may damage the

waterproof seal and invalidate your guarantee. Repairs must be carried out

by your CLARKE dealer or contact the CLARKE Service Department on 020

8988 7400.

If the troubleshooting on page 8 does not solve your problem please contact

the Clarke service department.

CLEANING

1. Check the pump installation regularly to ensure the base inlet is clear of

leaves or other debris.

• These pumps have screwless fittings at

their base, allowing the removal of the

plastic cover by prising the two

release clips apart in the direction of

the arrows.

• This allows better access to the cavity

at the bottom, should the pump

become badly clogged. Flush the

cavity and the impeller housing with

clean water.

• To replace the cover, ensure the

release clips line up with the holes on the base of the pump and

press the cover home.

NOTE: Do not attempt to strip the pump further as this will invalidate the

guarantee.

WARNING: BEFORE CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE PUMP, ENSURE IT

IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY.
