GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•ALWAYS learn the machine’s applications, limitations and specific potential
hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar with the entire operating manual.
•ALWAYS ensure that the local supply voltage corresponds with the supply
information on the machine’s data plate.
•ALWAYS check for damage before use, any damaged part should be checked
to ensure that it will operate properly and perform it’s intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other
condition which may effect the machine’s operation. Any damage should
be properly repaired or the part replaced . If in any doubt DO NOT use the
machine. Consult your local CLARKE dealer.
•ALWAYS keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance
from the work area, especially whilst operating the machine.
•
ALWAYS maintain machine in top condition. Keep the machine clean for best
performance. Follow maintenance instructions.
• ALWAYS handle with extreme care, do not carry the machine by it’s electrical
cable, or yank the cable to disconnect it from the power supply.
•ALWAYS concentrate on the job at hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be
aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
•ALWAYS wear proper apparel. Loose clothing or jewellery may get caught in
moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•ALWAYS remove plug from the electrical outlet when adjusting, changing parts,
or when working on the machine.
•ALWAYS use recommended accessories, the use of improper accessories could
be hazardous.
•ALWAYS guard against electric shock. Safety can be further be improved by
using a residual current device (RCD).
•ALWAYS ensure that the power supply used to power the machine is connected
to an efficient grounding system.
•ALWAYS store the machine out of the reach of children, DO NOT allow children
to operate the machine.
•NEVER operate the machine when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication.
•NEVER leave the machine running unattended. Turn power OFF. Do not leave
the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
•NEVER force the machine, it will do a better and safer job at the rate for which
it was designed.
• DO NOT use the machine if the electrical cable, plug or motor is in poor condition.
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR BORE HOLE PUMPS
•ONLY use the pump for it’s intended applications (refer to setup & operation).
•ALWAYS protect the power supply plug from getting wet, the plug must be
accessible when the pump is running.
•ALWAYS ensure that nobody is in contact with the water in which the pump
is submerged.
•ALWAYS protect the pump and pipe from frost, drain the pump and pipe and
store in a protected location.
•ALWAYS ensure that the weight of the pump is borne by the rope and not the
main supply cable or the delivery pipe.
•DO NOT carry the bore hole pump by the mains supply cable.
•DO NOT make any modifications to the pump, or tamper with it in any way.
•NEVER operate the pump with the delivery port closed or obstructed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz) BS1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need
replacing at any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.
IMPORTANT!:
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electrical cable
(i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
• The plug MUST be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
• NEVER use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
• Should you wish to replace a detached fuse carrier, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marker or colour code).
• The fuse in the plug MUST be replaced with one of the same rating (13amps)
and this must be approved to BS1362.
IMPORTANT!:
If the pump’s power supply cable is damaged it MUST be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
IMPORTANT!:
If in any doubt, do not attempt any electrical repair yourself. Consult a qualified
technician.
IMPORTANT!:
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool
(see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as the
machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, ALWAYS unwind the cable completely.
WARNING:
Should it ever be necessary to change the plug, the wires in the
mains lead should be wired according to the following colour code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
GREEN & YELLOW - EARTH
• Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a
letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
• Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with
a letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
• Connect the GREEN & YELLOW coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked with a letter ‘E’ or ‘ ’ or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.

SETUP AND OPERATION
This bore hole pump is designed to pump soft water from bore holes, wells,
underground springs or storage tanks to supply single sprinkler or irrigation systems.
The pump is watertight and must be submerged in water (max depth 15m).
Suitable pumping liquids are:
• Clear water.
• Rain water.
The pump must NOT be used to pump:
• Salt water.
• Liquid foods.
• Corrosive or chemical substances.
• Flammable, explosive or volatile liquids.
• Sandy or abrasive liquids.
• Sewerage.
• Liquids containing textile materials or paper fragments.
• Attach the delivery pipe to the delivery port.
NOTE: DO NOT install a non-return valve on the pump delivery side, as one is
already built into the pump. The non-return valve prevents the pump from
draining when stopped.
• Secure the supply cable to the delivery pipe.
• Secure the rope, and lower the pump into the bore hole.
NOTE: the rope should bare the weight of the pump, NOT the delivery pipe
or the supply cable.
• The pump must be positioned at least one metre above the bottom of the
bore hole. Sand and other material found in pumped liquid will cause rapid
deterioration of the pump and reduce it’s efficiency.
• Before starting the pump, make sure that the delivery pipe is unobstructed
and the delivery port is open.
• To start the pump insert the plug into the mains supply, to stop the pump
remove the plug from the supply.
NOTE: the pump is equipped with a thermal-amperometric motor protector.
In case of overload, the motor protector shuts down the pump automatically.
When the motor has cooled the pump starts up again automatically. If the
motor protector steps in, it is absolutely necessary to locate and eliminate the
cause of the malfunction. (refer to trouble shooting on page 6).
NOTE: pumped liquid may become contaminated by the lubrication
contained in the pump.

MAINTENANCE
This pump does not require any particular maintenance and all repairs must be
carried out by an authorised service centre only, however:
• After removing the pump from the water, drain and rinse with clean water.
• To clean the suction filter, use a jet of clean water.
• If the pump’s turbines need replacement, take the pump to an authorised
service centre.
• If the pump’s power supply cable is damaged it MUST be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM: The pump is running but no water is being delivered.
CAUSE: TROUBLE SHOOTING:
The pump is not sufficiently
submerged.
Clogged suction filter.
There is no outflow of air because the
delivery pipe is obstructed.
Lower the pump deeper in the water.
Unplug the pump and clean it.
Remove obstructions from the delivery
pipe.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operations, disconnect
the pump from the power supply.
PROBLEM: The flow rate is insufficient.
CAUSE: TROUBLE SHOOTING:
Clogged suction filter.
Diameter of external pipe is too small.
Too high head.
Unplug the pump and clean it.
Use a larger diameter pipe.
Reduce the head.
PROBLEM: The pumps motor does not start or stops suddenly after a few seconds.
CAUSE: TROUBLE SHOOTING:
No power supply.
The thermal-amperometric motor
protector has deactivated the pump
due to overload.
Solid particles have obstructed the
suction filter.
Check the electrical connections.
Unplug the pump and clean it. Check
the water temperature (max 35°C).
Unplug the pump and clean it.
