less then 30mA MUST be used for all operations.

3. The electrical supply must be the same as that on the rating plate.

4. ALWAYS make sure that your hands are dry when connecting or

disconnecting from the mains supply.

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

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;

• Connect the BLUE wire

to the terminal

marked N.

• Connect the BROWN

wire to the terminal

marked L.

•ConnectrtheYELLOW

AND GREEN wire to

the terminal marked E

or .

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.

INSTALLING THE PUMP

Remove all packaging and make sure that the pump has no visible damage.

Dispose of all packaging appropriately.

FITTING THE ELBOW

1. Screw one of the elbows into the

outlet port as shown. Two elbows

are supplied;

• Threaded elbow

• Push-fit elbow

FITTING THE STEPPED ADAPTER

The stepped hose adaptor supplied is

designed to be used for either screw

type hose connection or push fit.

• Stepped adapter 1" (25mm) / ¾”(20mm) hose

1. Screw the adaptor to the

threaded elbow and connect a

suitable hose (not supplied) to

either the screwed end or push-fit

• Suitable hoses are available

from your local Clarke dealer.

• The stepped adaptor can be

cut off with a hacksaw if a

larger hose is to be used.

2. Trim the adaptor to size if required.

• Reducing the hose diameter will affect the maximum flow rate.

3. When push fitting the hose to the adaptor or elbow, use a jubilee clip to

secure it. Do not overtighten.

POSITIONING THE PUMP

1. Stand the pump upright on a flat surface in the water that you want to

drain.

2. If there is sediment in the pool or

pond, place the pump on blocks,

to avoid blocking the water inlet.

3. Set the height of the pump inlet

by extending and twisting the

base (foot) if required. With the

base retracted the pump can

remove all but the remaining 10

mm of water.With the base

extended the pump can pick up

more solids in suspension.

4. Ensure the pump is positioned with adequate space - minimum base area

of 20 x 25 cm and the maximum depth of any installation - 7 metres (23ft).

The pump is supplied with 10 metres of power cable.

5. Always raise and lower the pump using the lifting handle and a rope

attached to it if required. Never lift or lower the pump using the power

cable.

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

and the pump be standing upright.

• You can keep the pump clear of sediment by standing it on a platform

or brick or by suspending it at a suitable depth.

6. Connect the power cable to a high sensitivity residual current device

(RCD) which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.

OPERATING THE PUMP

1. 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.

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

• You can set the position of the float switch using the clip on the side of

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.

2. The pump can be kept running

continuously by positioning the

float in the raised position but it

will need to be stopped manually

by lowering the float or

unplugging the power cable. This

method can be used to

scavenge the last remaining

water to the 10 mm limit.

3. When finished, disconnect the

pump from the power supply.

• The pump is 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.

AFTER USE

If the temperature is expected to be lower than 0°C, ensure there is no

residual water in the pump which could freeze and damage the pump.

If the pump has been used with substances that tend to form a deposit, or

with water containing chlorine, rinse it after use with a powerful jet of water in

order to avoid the formation of deposits which would reduce the

performance of the pump.

MAINTENANCE

This pump should require no maintenance other than regular cleaning. If the

pump shows signs of wear or damage contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.

Check the pump regularly to ensure the water inlet is clear of leaves or other

debris. If foreign material has been drawn into the pump inlet, further cleaning

may be required by back-flushing the pump with water pressure from a hose.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY

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

IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY. IF THE UNIT IS HARD WIRED,

ENSURE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS OPEN.

PUMP WILL

START BUT NOT

PUMP

1. Check that the inlet is not blocked.

water too great a distance for the pump to cope with

Specifications on page 3.

4. Air bubble in the pump, produced during the plunge.

Plunge the pump again, at an angle, and shake it whilst

lowering to remove any air trapped in the system.

5. Impeller may be damaged - Consult your CLARKE dealer.

PUMP WILL

NOT STOP

1. Float switch may be prevented from moving to the fully

down position.

2. Float switch may be faulty. Consult your CLARKE dealer

for advice.
