PREPARATION FOR USE
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are
supplied with your pump, however accessories designed specifically for this
range of pumps are available from your nearest CLARKE dealer. Contact your
CLARKE dealer for further information.
IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply
until all hose/pipe installation is completed.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
A typical installation of the pump is shown in Fig 1. Connect the suction and
discharge hoses to the pump housing to achieve an air-tight seal. Ensure there
is no damage to the hoses which must be well protected and supported.
The pump must always be installed
and operated in a horizontal position
i.e. with the outlet port facing
vertically upwards. The fixing holes in
the base should be used to secure
the pump firmly in its operating
position. Always ensure there is
adequate air circulation around the
motor.
Avoid situations where the pump
could become drenched with water.
Neither the motor or terminal box are designed to be waterproof.
Position the pump as near to the water source as
possible.
Ensure there is adequate drainage and there is no
risk of damage to property as a result of water
being discharged.
A foot valve/filter should be fitted to the lower end
of the suction hose, as illustrated in Fig 2, in order to
retain water in the suction system and more
importantly, to prevent the possibility of large
objects entering the pump body.
The performance of your pump will be affected by
the diameter of the inletpipe - any restriction will
greatly reduce the flow. We strongly recommend
that you use a pipe diameter as large as practical.
