ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Models EXCEPT HSE301A & 361A should have their mains lead connected to a

standard 230 volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved plug or a

suitably fused isolator switch. We recommend that these pumps be fitted with

a Residual Current Device (RCD).

NOTE: This is mandatory when pump is used for pumping swimming pools.

Models HSE301 & 361 must be connected to a protected 110V supply,

through a suitably approved connector. On no account must a 230V-13amp

plug be used.

NOTE: If a portable 110V transformer is used, make sure it has a rated

capacity sufficient to take the load of the pump.

In the event that the pump is hard-wired into the electrical system, it must be

carried out in accordance with IEE regulations.

If used for draining swimming pools or ponds, the pump MUST be fitted with a

Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of no

greater than 30mA.

As the colours of the flexible cable of this appliance may not correspond with

the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug for this pump must be rated according to the Technical

Specification.

If this product is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electrical cable

(i.e. non-rewirable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the cable. There is a danger

of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

3. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most

electrical outlets.

OVERVIEW

The Clarke HSE range of submersible pumps are of rugged and durable

construction, designed for long lasting continuous operation. They are suitable

for discharging pools, ponds, fountains, pits and any waste water drainage.

They can handle foul water containing sewage or other suspended material

including sand up to a maximum of 3kg/m3to an amount stated in the

specifications for each model. They may be used for pumping water,

(including seawater) or water containing small solids in suspension with

particle sizes of up to 6-10mm in diameter, dependant upon the size of pump.

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

dangerous liquids.

The range includes models 130, 200, 300/301 & 360/361 as itemised in the

Technical Specification.

The HSE200 is fitted with a strainer to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.

Float switches are fitted to those models bearing an ‘A’ suffix, meaning the

pump will stop and restart automatically as the surrounding water level

changes. This makes them suitable for permanent or semi-permanent

installations, eg. installations where it is necessary to maintain a water at a

particular level without an operator in attendance.

As the water level rises, the switch will float 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.

• It is not recommended that these pumps be used for pumping drinking

water, as there is a remote possibility of water contamination due to

leakage of pump lubricant should the pump malfunction or the oil seal

become damaged.

All HSE pumps are provided with a thermal overload cut-out, so that in the

event the pump becomes overheated (due to becoming blocked etc.) the

pump will shut off automatically. When the blockage has been cleared, the

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

OPERATION

CONNECTION AND LOCATION

1. Place the pump in a vertical position resting on a firm, flat surface. If this is

not available, sit the pump on timber or house bricks, but ensure they are

not likely to collapse. Never install the pump on sand, silt, mud or ground

that is likely to collapse.

Automatic versions should only be placed in a sump which is large enough

not to restrict the movement of the float switch. It is advisable to use a

strainer when using the pump as a sump pump.

2. Keep the pump clear of any

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).

3. Connect the outlet to the

largest diameter hose

available, as any restrictions will

reduce capacity and put

further strain on the motor. The

outlet hose diameter for each

HSE pump is given in the

Technical Specification.

4. Ensure that the hose diameter is

equal to or greater than the diameter of the pump outlet if a long run of

discharge hose is being used.

5. Ensure the float has sufficient room to operate correctly if used in a

confined space such as a shaft or sump.

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

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

installation, a check valve must be fitted in the delivery hose. Suitable

hoses are available from your Clarke dealer.

USING THE PUMP

1. Take all necessary precautions as described on page 4 before plugging in

the pump and switching ON. Where the pump is an automatic unit fitted

with a float switch, the pump will only run where there is sufficient depth of

water for the float to rise and activate the pump.

If the water is likely to freeze, the pump must be run continuously, otherwise

the pump must be removed from the water and stored in a frost free

location.

2. Never run the pump dry. Never run the pump with the body exposed for

more than 10 minutes.

3. When the water has been pumped out, disconnect from the power supply.

Avoid running the pump continuously.

AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD

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 restart, by which time the cut-

out will have reset.

ACCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories is available from your nearest CLARKE dealer, for

further information, contact your nearest dealer, or telephone CLARKE

International Sales department on 01992 565300.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

This pump 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 power cable, or to

the float switch or it’s connecting cable.

Check pump installation regularly to ensure the base inlet is clear of leaves or

other debris.

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 using this pump to empty a garden pond, please note that there is a small

quantity of oil in the pump seal. If the pump or seal is damaged, possibly

caused by running the pump dry, oil may leak out, and appear as a film on

the surface of the water. The oil must be cleared to prevent any possible harm

to pond life. Disconnect the pump from the electrical supply, remove it from

the pond and clear the oil, then contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.

STORAGE

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

thoroughly and store it indoors. If the pump is left in water, it must be run at

least once a week to prevent it from seizing up.
