SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Ensure the pump is installed in a horizontal position with the outlet facing
vertically upwards, and that it is firmly anchored via its fixing screws.
2. Ensure there is an adequate air flow around the pump. DO NOT mount it in
an enclosed atmosphere.
3. Ensure all water pipes - supply or discharge, are adequately supported
where necessary, so as not to put a strain on the pump connections.
4. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry, as this will cause serious damage to the
pump seals.
5. Ensure the inlet to the pump is completely unrestricted.
6. Ensure the pump is protected from the elements, neither the motor nor the
electrical terminal box is intended to be waterproof.
7. Ensure that all pipes are protected against damage where necessary, and
that they are suitably lagged to avoid the possibility of freezing during cold
weather.
8. DO NOT attempt to pump water when the ambient temperature is greater
than 40ºC or the water temperature is greater than 40ºC or less than 0ºC.
9. DO NOT use this pump for pumping anything other than CLEAN WATER.
10. DO NOT wrap the pump motor or pump head in cold conditions in the
mistaken belief that this will stop the pump from freezing.
11. ALWAYS install a foot valve/filter when lifting water (suction lifting) Foot filters
are available from your CLARKE dealer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
It is strongly recommended that installation should only be carried out by a
qualified electrician in accordance with I.E.E. Regulations. However, in the
further interests of safety we would emphasize the following:-
This pump should be connected to a standard domestic 230 volt (50Hz),
electrical supply and we strongly recommend that the connection be made
via a Residual Current Device (RCD) and a suitably rated circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT: Should the supply be taken from a normal 13 amp socket, then
the plug used must be to BS 1363 standard, and the cable conductors
should be connected in accordance with the following colour code:
Green & Yellow - Earth or marked with a letter “E” or Earth symbol “ ”.
Blue - Neutral or terminal marked with a letter “N”.
Brown - Live or terminal marked with a letter “L”.
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be rated at 5 amps.
The pump MUST be wired according to the
diagram on the right, and ensuring the
following precautions are strictly observed:
1. The cable used must be of sufficient size to
ensure it is a tight fit in the cable gland.
2. Ensure the cable gland is correctly used.
The clamp must firmly clamp the outer
cable sheath and NOT the conductors.
3. Fit a crimp style ring terminal to the earth
wire and make sure that it is correctly
connected to the earth terminal.
The ring terminal should be placed between the two washers, and the
screw suitably tightened.
WARNING: THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WORK IF YOU
ARE IN ANY DOUBT AS TO HOW IT SHOULD BE PROPERLY CARRIED OUT.
CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

WATER CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: The pump must not be connected to the power supply until the
hose/pipe installation is completed.
If any part of the system is to be connected to the mains water supply, ensure
that you comply with your local water authority regulations.
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are
supplied as standard with your pump. However, accessories designed
specifically for this range of pumps are available from your CLARKE dealer and
are listed on page 7.
The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e.
with the outlet port facing vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base
should be used as necessary to secure the pump firmly in its operating
position. Also, ensure that there is adequate air circulation around the motor.
Avoid situations where there is the risk of water coming into contact with the
outside of the pump. Neither the motor or the terminal box are intended to be
waterproof.
These notes are for guidance on how to achieve a proper working system.
The schematic diagrams illustrate possible methods of pipework installation.
Water intake can be by means of either:- A. Gravity Feed or B. Suction Lift.
Water being taken in by the pump should,
whenever possible, be fed by means of
gravity (Method A). However, if this is not
possible then water may be drawn from a
lower level by means of suction (Method B).
The suction lift i.e. the vertical distance
between the water level and the pump
should not exceed distance specified for
your pump (see Specifications on page 7).
When using this method, a foot valve, must be fitted to the
lower end of the suction hose, (as illustrated), so as to help
retain water in the suction system.
The delivery head i.e. the vertical distance between the pump
and the point of discharge should be at least 5 feet. If this
cannot be achieved naturally, then it can be simulated by
restricting the outlet flow from the pump.
The illustration shows a Isolating valve installed in-line on the
delivery side of the pump which can be set as required to
regulate the flow of water.

Do not place any such restriction on the suction side of the pump unless it
serves only to isolate a gravity fed water supply.
To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion to the pump, ensure that
adequate support is provided to the hoses and/or pipes. Remember they will
be considerably heavier when filled with water.
Should sand, chemical or other
contaminant come into contact with
the pump, flush through with cold
clean water as soon as possible.
Protect the pump and pipework from
freezing. The formation of ice may
cause serious damage.
PRIMING
When suction lift is used to draw
water into the pump it is essential that
all connections and hoses are
completely air tight, otherwise the
system will not work.
Before pumping will start it is necessary to completely fill the suction side with
water. This is known as priming the pump and is carried out as follows:-
1. With the pump, all pipes/hoses and the foot valve in position, unscrew the
priming plug (small hexagon nut on top of pump body, adjacent to the
pump outlet) and fill to capacity with clean water. Replace the priming
plug.
NOTE: As the filler hole is quite small, it is recommended that you fill the inlet
pipe with water before it is connected to the pump, and top up
through the filler plug once the pipe is connected.
2. Adjust any device which may be fitted to the outlet side of the pump, so as
to ensure as great a flow as possible.
3. Switch on the pump. Water should start to flow through the system. Check
for leaks and adjust the flow if necessary using the gate valve (or other
type of restriction) on the delivery side of the pump. Remember that some
resistance (head) is required on the outlet side of the pump to prevent
motor overload.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the system is set up properly, there is little likelihood of problems arising, but if
water will not flow as it should then check the following points:-

7
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [e-mail] or [e-mail]
1. The suction hose and connections including the filler plug need to be
completely air tight, otherwise air will be drawn in and either reduce or
completely stop the flow of water.
2. Ensure that the system has been fully primed with water up to the level of
the filler plug.
3. Check to see that no foreign matter is fouling the intake system and check
the filter is not blocked or obstructed.
4. Check that the vertical height between the level of the water intake and
the ultimate discharge point does not exceed 35 metres. If this should be
the case then the height must be reduced.
Should you still experience problems, then contact your Clarke dealer, or
CLARKE International Service Department for advice.
