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
