SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS learn the pump’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 pump’s data plate.
ALWAYS check the pump 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 pump. 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 pump.
ALWAYS maintain the pump in top condition and keep it clean for best
performance. Follow any maintenance instructions.
ALWAYS handle with care, do not carry the pump 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 remove the plug from the electrical supply when adjusting or
changing parts.
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 pump is connected
to an efficient grounding system.
ALWAYS store the pump out of the reach of children, DO NOT allow children to
operate the pump.
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

accessible when the pump is running.
ALWAYS ensure that nobody is in contact with the water in which the pump
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

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following
the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as
insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings
on the plug.
• The BLUE wire must be
connected to the
terminal which is
marked N or coloured
black.
• The BROWN wire must
be connected to the
terminal which is
marked L or coloured
red.
• The YELLOW AND
GREEN wire must be
connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured green.
AN APPROVED RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) WHICH HAS A TRIPPING
CURRENT OF LESS THAN 30 mA MUST BE USED.
If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any
repairs.
WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE
MAINS SUPPLY.

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
•Rainwater
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
SETUP
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 its 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.

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 troubleshooting on page 8).
NOTE: The water being pumped will be polluted if this pump becomes
damaged and lubricant within the pump escapes.
CARE & MAINTANENCE
This pump does not require any particular maintenance and all repairs must be
carried out by an authorised service centre only.
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 power supply cable is damaged it MUST be replaced by the manufacturer
or an authorised service centre.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OPERATIONS, DISCONNECT THE PUMP
FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: The pumps motor does not start or stops suddenly after a few
seconds.
Cause Solution
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.
PROBLEM: The pump is running but no water is being delivered.
Cause Solution
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.
PROBLEM: The flow rate is insufficient.
Cause Solution
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.
