ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

We recommend that these pumps MUST be fitted with a Residual Current

Device (RCD), with a rated residual operating current of no greater than

30mA. This is mandatory when pump is used for pumping swimming pools

HSEC1400A + HSEC650A should have their mains lead connected to a

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

suitably fused isolator switch.

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:

• 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.

HSEC651A 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.

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS

SUPPLY.

WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE

COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

USING THE PUMP

1. Using the adaptor if required,

connect a suitable hose (not

supplied) to the pump outlet.

• Suitable hoses are available from

your local Clarke dealer.

2. Place the pump vertically on a flat

surface in the area that you want to

drain.

• If there is sediment in the area,

place the pump 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 50 x 50 cm.

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

handle.

• Take all necessary precautions as described on page 3.

• The pump inlet must be fully submerged before the pump is switched on.

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

which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.

4. Switch the mains power supply on.

• The pump will begin to drain water.

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

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.

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

• You can adjust the position at

which the float switch lead is

held to the pump. Adjusting

the length of the float switch

lead will change the depth of

water at which the pump will

turn on or off.

5. When the pumping is finished,

disconnect the pump from the

mains power supply.

OVERLOAD SWITCH

These pumps are fitted with a thermal overload switch. If the pump overheats

for any reason, it will automatically switch the pump OFF. Once the pump has

cooled (at least 5-10 minutes), it will automatically restart.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY

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.

CLEANING

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

leaves or other debris.

out by your CLARKE dealer, or contact the CLARKE Service

Department.

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.
