OPERATION

1. Open any valves in the pipeline.

2. If operating the pump for the first time, prime the pump as described.

NOTE: The pump is only self-priming when filled with water. Refilling is

only necessary if the pump has been drained, or if all the water

has been lost.

3. Connect to the power supply and switch on. Water should start to flow

through the system. Check for any leaks and make good as necessary.

• If the motor fails to start, or the pump does not deliver water, refer to

TROUBLESHOOTING. Never operate the pump when not primed with

water or if the inlet is blocked.

NOTE: Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming

process, and it is suggested that a non-return valve be fitted to the

end of the suction pipe.

4. Stop the pump by switching off the power supply.

CARE DURING USE

1. Do not allow the pump to run dry, otherwise the seal between the pump

and motor may be damaged. If a leak occurs at this point, allowing water

to pass from the pump to the motor, take the pump to your Clarke dealer

for overhaul.

2. In the event of a blockage, where debris has entered the suction

chamber, it can be cleaned out as described under MAINTENANCE.

3. Should contaminants come into contact with the pump, flush through with

cold water as soon as possible to prevent damage to the pump. DO NOT

USE for pumping chemicals or other corrosive liquids (other than pool

purification chemicals in their correct mix ratio).

4. If the pump is being used to drain a pool or pond, ensure there is adequate

drainage and there is no risk of damage to property as a result of water

being discharged. If a flexible hose must be laid across a roadway, protect

it with wooden planking.
