GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate power products in explosive atmospheres such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power products create
sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power products must always match the power outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering pump will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cable for pulling or
unplugging the pupm. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, 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
that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. We strongly recommend that the CFT230 pump is
connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
PUMP SAFETY
1. DO NOT use this pump where there is a danger of fire.
2. Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before carrying out
any adjustments or servicing.
3. DO NOT use to pump any liquid other than DIESEL fuel.
4. ALWAYS ensure the ON/OFF switch, mounted on the rear of the capacitor
housing (see parts lists and diagrams on page 9 & 10), is in the OFF (O)
position, before connecting to the power supply - Battery or Mains. This is
to avoid the possibility of arcing taking place, thereby reducing the risk of
fire.
5. Switch the pump OFF immediately after the task is completed.
6. Do not use the pump if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
product that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

SERVICE
1. When necessary, have your pump serviced or repaired by a qualified
person using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the product is maintained.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Take care to ensure that if diesel fuel is spilt on the roadway or any place
likely to cause a hazard to passing vehicles, that it is cleaned away using
sand or treated with absorbant granules designed for the purpose. Always
make every effort to contain any spillage and prevent ingress into the local
water course.
ENVIRONMENTAL RECYCLING POLICY
Through purchase of this product, the customer is taking on the
obligation to deal with the WEEE in accordance with the WEEE
regulations in relation to the treatment, recycling & recovery and
environmentally sound disposal of the WEEE.
In effect, this means that this product must not be disposed of with general
household waste. It must be disposed of according to the laws governing
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) at a recognised disposal
facility.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CFT12 & CFT24 MODELS
These models are battery operated, and provided with crocodile type clamps for
attaching to the battery terminals.
The CF12 is the 12 volt model requiring a 12 V battery, and CFT24 is the 24 volt
model, requiring two 12 volt batteries connected in series.
The RED clamp is connected to the POSITIVE terminal,the BLACK clamp to the
NEGATIVE terminal.

WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly
before connecting the product to the mains supply.
Before switching the machine on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This
product is designed to operate using 230 VAC mains power. Connecting it to
any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to
change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover
becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable
replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
due to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the
wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as
insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this product are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral Brown = Live Yellow and Green = Earth
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not
correspond with the terminal markings of your plug, proceed as follows.
•The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked N or coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked L or coloured Red.
• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green must be connected to
the terminal which is marked E or or coloured Green.
Plug must be BS1363/A approved
Earth Always fit a 13 Amp fuse.
(Green and Yellow)
Neutral Live
(Blue) (Brown)
Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.

INSTALLATION
Firmly screw the inlet adapter provided
into the inlet port, ensuring it is adequately
sealed.
Attach an inlet hose (not supplied) using a
worm drive clip, or similar, ensuring the
joint is airtight. The Inlet port has an arrow
embossed on the housing showing the
direction of flow.
NOTE:
1. It is important that the inlet hose is
completely free of holes or other
imperfections, otherwise the pump will
not operate satisfactorily or may not
operate at all.
2. The length of hose must not be greater
than 7metres which is the
maximum suction height
for the pump.
Before screwing on the outlet
hose for the first time, it is
necessary to prime the inlet
side of the pump, by pouring
diesel fuel into the outlet port
until all air has been expelled. It will not be necessary to carry out this
procedure again, unless the inlet hose has been drained.
Screw the outlet hose to the outlet adapter and the other end to the nozzle
assembly.
OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure the ON/OFF switch, located at the rear of the pump, is set to
the OFF (O) position BEFORE connecting the pump to the electrical supply.
This is to avoid the possibility of arcing taking place and thereby reducing the
risk of fire.
CFT 230
Connect the mains lead to the electrical supply, bearing in mind the warning
above, and set the switch at the rear of the pump, to the ON (I) position. The
pump will operate and pumping will begin.

CFT12 & CFT24
Ensure the battery is the right type for the pump; ie. 12V for the CFT12 and
24V for the CFT24.
Ensure also that the battery terminals are clean, and, bearing in mind the
warning above, firmly attach the RED clamp to the POSITIVE and the BLACK
clamp to the NEGATIVE terminals respectively. Double check to ensure the
clamps cannot be disturbed easily, and that the setup is protected from
passers by. Set the switch, at the rear of the terminal box, to ON (I).
With the motor running, pull the nozzle trigger and proceed to pump your
diesel fuel. A trigger lock is provided, simply pull the trigger fully, push IN the
lock then relaease the trigger.
Do not allow the pump to operate for more than 30 seconds or so, when
pumping has ceased.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The motors of these pumps are provided with thermal overload protection.
In the event that the pump cuts out due to overheating, always investigate
the cause - this could be a blocked hose or damage to the pump motor.
The 230V model will restart automatically once it has cooled down
sufficiently. Nevertheless, you should ALWAYS switch the pump OFF and allow
it to cool down.
The battery operated pumps are provided with a reset button, mounted on
the front of the terminal box. Leave the pump to cool down for at least 10
minutes before pressing, to restart the pump.
If the condition persists, further investigation is required to determine the
cause.
MAINTENANCE
The pumps are of robust design and require little or no maintenance, except
for ensuring that the electric power cables and clamps are always in good
condition. Avoid using solvents if cleaning plastic parts as most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
Ensure also that the hoses used are perfectly sound.
Store the pump in dry conditions protected from the weather.
For any problems requiring the dismantling and overhaul of the saw, contact
your CLARKE International Service Department on 020-8988-7400. Spare parts
are available as shown in the diagrams on the following pages.
