PUMP POSITIONING AND HOSE CONNECTION
Remove all packaging and make sure that the unit contains no visible
damage. Dispose of all packaging appropriately.
CONNECTING THE PUMP
1. Connect the hose to the outlet adaptor.
2. Always use the largest diameter hose possible as any restriction will reduce
capacity and put unnecessary strain on the motor especially if a long run
of discharge hose is being used.
• The outlet adaptor fitting allows for connection of 25 mm (1”) hose
which should be secured with a hose clamp.
• Suitable hoses are available from your local CLARKE dealer.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
1. It may be safer to raise and lower the pump into deep water using a rope
attached to the lifting handle.
2. Place the pump in a vertical position resting on a firm, 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 but ensure they
are not likely to collapse. Never
position the pump on sand, silt, mud or
ground which is likely to collapse.
3. Keep the pump clear of sediment by standing it on a platform or brick or
suspending from a rope attached to the handle if the pump is to be used
where there may be silt or mud etc (e.g. garden ponds).
4. Route the hose as straight as possible. Excessive bending of the hose could
obstruct the flow of water, reduce the pumping volume or clog the pump
with mud, thus disabling the pumps function. If the hose is kinked at its base
it will create air pockets in the pump, causing it to operate in a partially dry
state. Take care to straighten any kinks or bends in the hose.
5. DO NOT operate the pump if the water is too shallow. This will be below the
level of the outlet elbow with the impeller fully immersed. The pump inlet
must be fully submerged before being switched on.
6. Allowance must also be made for the overall width of the pump including
the outlet elbow on one side.
• When the pump is being used in a permanent or semi-permanent
installation, a non-return valve should be fitted in the delivery hose.
Suitable hoses and valves are available from your CLARKE dealer.
• Take all necessary precautions as described on pages 4-5.
