USING THE PUMP
1. Connect a suitable hose (not supplied) to the pump outlet.
• Suitable hoses are available from your local Clarke dealer.
2. Place the pump on a flat surface in the area that you want to drain.
• If there is sediment in the operating area, the pump should be placed
vertically on house bricks, or similar.
• Ensure the pump is positioned with adequate space so that the
movement of the float switch is not restricted - recommended minimum
area of 50 x 50cm.
• ALWAYS raise/lower the pump using a rope attached to the lifting
handle.
• Take all necessary precautions as described on page 3.
• The pump inlet must be fully submerged before the pump is switched on.
3. Connect the mains plug to a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD)
which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.
4. 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.
• You can adjust the position at which the float switch lead clips to the
side of the pump, If the length of the float switch lead is short the pump
will turn on and off earlier.
5. When finished, disconnect the pump from the mains power supply.
OVERLOAD SWITCH
These pumps are 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), the pump will automatically restart.
WARNING: CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE, DO NOT USE THE
PUMP IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
WARNING: THE WATER BEING PUMPED WILL BE POLLUTED IF THIS PUMP
BECOMES DAMAGED AND LUBRICANT WITHIN THE PUMP ESCAPES.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY
