SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read all of the safety and operating instructions carefully before using

this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power products in explosive atmospheres such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power products create

sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Do not abuse the electrical cables. Keep the cables away from hot

surfaces, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables

increase the risk of electric shock.

PUMP SAFETY

1. Do not use this pump where there is a danger of fire.

2. Do not use to pump any liquid other than diesel, paraffin and light fuel oil.

3. Always ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (O) position, BEFORE

connecting to the battery. This is to avoid the possibility of arcing taking

place, thereby reducing the risk of fire.

4. Both models incorporate reverse polarity protection in case of incorrect

connection.

5. Switch the pump OFF as soon as the task is complete.

6. Do not exceed the duty cycle stated in the specifications.

7. Do not use the pump if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power

product that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.

8. If necessary, have your pump repaired by a qualified person using

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is

maintained.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

1. Take care to ensure that if diesel fuel is spilt that it is cleaned away using

sand or treated with absorbent granules designed for the purpose.

2. Always make every effort to contain any spillage and prevent ingress into

the local water course.

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

CONNECTION & OPERATION

1. Fit the carrying handle to the

pump with the hex screw & washer

provided.

2. If required, the pump can be

installed in any horizontal

mounting position and mounted to

a flat surface using screws of

adequate size (not supplied)

through the mounting holes in the

base.

• The pump should not be installed at more than 6m above the fuel

supply.

3. Before connecting the pump, remove the travel plugs from the inlet/outlet

ports.

4. If not already fitted, screw the inlet filter to the plastic suction hose.

5. Screw in either:

• A) the inlet and outlet hoses

supplied or

• B) the inlet adaptors for use with

19 mm hoses

NOTE: The transparent suction hose is

connected to the side of the

pump marked “IN” and the

delivery hose to the side

marked “OUT” on the pump

casting.

• The hose and connections need to be completely air tight,

otherwise air will be drawn in and reduce the flow. If required use

PTFE tape.

6. Before connecting the delivery hose FOR THE FIRST TIME, partially fill the

pump body with fuel to facilitate priming. Ensure the hoses and tank are

free from contamination.

7. Insert the transparent suction hose & filter into the diesel fuel container.

WARNING: DO NOT USE WITH PETROL OR ANY OTHER HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

LIQUID TO DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SPARKING TAKING PLACE AND

CAUSING FIRE.

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

8. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is set to

the OFF (O) position BEFORE

connecting the pump cables to

the vehicle battery.

9. Ensure that the battery terminals are clean.

10. Connect the red-positive clamp to the red positive terminal first, then

connect the black clamp to the black-negative terminal, ensuring the

clamps are perfectly secure.

NOTE: The motor will not run if the clamps are connected the wrong way

round due to the in-built reverse polarity protection.

11. When disconnecting, always disconnect the black (negative) clamp first.

12. Ensure the clamps cannot be disturbed easily and that the setup is

protected from passers by.

13. Set the switch to ON (I).

• Ensure the transparent inlet suction hose and inlet filter clean as

once clogged, pump performance will quickly decline.

• Do not allow the pump to run dry for more than 30 seconds after

pumping has stopped. When finished pumping, switch off the pump.

14. During start-up it may be beneficial to open the dispensing nozzle on the

delivery hose to permit evacuation of air and achieve quicker priming.

CAUTION: ONLY CONNECT THE DFT12A PUMP TO A 12V BATTERY AND

THE DFT24A PUMP TO A 24V BATTERY.

WARNING: THIS PUMP HAS A 50% DUTY CYCLE AND SHOULD NOT BE RUN

CONTINUOUSLY FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. AFTER RUNNING, THE

PUMP MUST BE ALLOWED TO COOL FOR A PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE

RUN TIME.

MAINTENANCE

The pump does not require any maintenance but should be inspected before

use to ensure that the power cables and clamps are in good condition and

that both of the hoses are sound.

Avoid using solvents if cleaning plastic parts, as most plastics are susceptible to

damage from various types of commercial solvents. Keep the filter on the inlet

hose free of accumulated dirt.

Store the pump in dry conditions protected from the weather.

For any problems requiring dismantling of the pump, contact your CLARKE

dealer.

Increased pump

noise

Cavitation of the liquid

being pumped.

Irregular functioning of the

by-pass.
