OPERATION
1. Open any valves in the pipeline.
2. If operating the pump for the first
time, unscrew the filter cover on
top of the pump using the wrench
supplied and prime the pump by
filling completely with water.
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 repair as necessary.
4. If the motor fails to start, or the pump does not deliver water, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9. Never operate the pump when not filled
with water or if the inlet is blocked.
•
The level of water in the pump can be seen through the transparent
filter cover.
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.
5. 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 is noticed at this point, it may
indicate that the seal is worn and therefore in need of replacement.
Contact your CLARKE dealer, or the Clarke International Service
Department for advice.
2. In the event of a blockage, where debris has entered the suction
chamber, the sieve and chamber 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 the pool, 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.
