INSTALLATION & OPERATION

The pump is complete with an Outlet Hose Adapter which simply screws into

the outlet port on the side of the pump body.

The adapter has three steps, providing the option for three different hose sizes

to be used. (See specifications for details).

Please bear in mind, that if the pump is to be used for drainage purposes, or in

situations that demand maximum efficiency, you should ALWAYS connect the

largest diameter hose possible to the outlet hose adapter, as small diameter

hoses reduce capacity and put additional strain on the motor.

Once you have decided upon a suitable hose size, the smaller diameter steps

of the adapter should be cut off, so as not to cause an obstruction to flow. If

you subsequently need to install a larger diameter hose, replacement

adapters are available from your Clarke dealer.

Ensure the hose is secured with a suitable worm drive clip (not supplied).

The pump is completely submersible and must be placed in a vertical position

on a solid flat surface. If this is not available, sit the pump on house bricks, or

something similar, and ensure that this type of support is not likely to shift.

The pump should be well clear of silt, mud or any type of marine growth.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS raise and lower the pump using a rope attached to the

handle, NEVER by the power cable or float switch cable.

Ideally the pump should be placed in a sump which has adequate dimensions

so as not to restrict the movement of the float switch.

Please note that the symbol V on the pumps' Rating Plate, denotes the

MAXIMUM depth to which the pump may be submerged, in metres.

With the pump properly installed, and taking all necessary precautions as

described on page 3, plug in to the mains supply, and switch ON.

NOTE: If the pump does not deliver immediately, it is possible that an air lock

exists. Leave the pump for approximately one minute in order for air in

the pump to vent through the vent valve. If necessary, switch ON and

Off again in order to assist the venting process.

SUITABLE HOSE, and SPARE/REPLACEMENT HOSE ADAPTERS ARE AVAILABLE
