WARNINGS
Please pay careful attention to the following warnings signs and indications.
1.Only qualified, licensed personnel should install this pump. The electrical installation
shall be in accordance with the national wiring regulations applicable to the country of
intended use.
2.The pump operator must be provided with this manual. This must be read before and during
operation.
3.These instructions are a guide only. Users not familiar with pumping equipment should seek
advice from people experienced in pump equipment and installation
4.The pump is designed to be used with clean water. Do not use it with alternative fluids,
specifically abrasive, corrosive or explosive fluids. Do not install or operate your pump in an
explosive environment or near combustible matter. Do not pump hydrocarbons with this pump.
5.Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
6.To avoid burns when handling the motor, allow it to cool for at least 20minutes before
carrying out any inspection / maintenance, this should only be done by a qualified person.
7.A thermal overload switch protects the motor from heat damage during operation If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, it’s service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard
8.Pollution of the liquid could occur due to leakage of lubricants from pump
9.The pump is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from electrical supply during
installation and any subsequent service work
10.This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
11.Children should be supervised when in the environment of the pump to ensure they do not play
with the pump.
12.The pump must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30Ma
13.Risk of electric shock. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type
plug. To greatly reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a properly grounded,
grounding type receptacle. Note: this pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Note: This pump has not been investigated for use in marine areas.
14. This pump must not be used when people or animals are in the water to be pumped.
15. Do not run the pump dry (continue to use when no water is present) as this will damage the
seal and reduce the life of the pump, this will invalidate the warranty.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
1. Ensure pump in good position
Inspect your pump, ensuring that it is not damaged. If the pump is damaged report it to where the
pump has been purchased or hired from. Warranty of these pumps is void unless they are operated
in accordance with these instructions.
2. Check pump technical data
For electrical and model details, please double check the rating plate to ensure the pump is
suitable.
3. Locating the Pump
Do not use the electrical cable to lift or transport the pump. You must use the handle on top of the
pump to lift the pump.
Using the handle at the top of the pump, connect a nylon rope or a stainless steel cable suitable to
sustain its weight. Anchor the other end of the rope or cable so that it balances the weight of the

www.hscuk.co.uk
pump as it rests in its final position at the base of the tank/pit/well.
4. Power Source
If the pump is being installed in a permanent position arrange for an electrician to install a 10A
weatherproof outdoor power point near the pump if there is not one there already.
5. Suction
If fitted ensure that the float switch can move freely within the tank/well/pit and cannot be
trapped. The pumps should be positioned on a hard surface that is elevated from the base of the
tank/pit/well. This is to keep the pump inlet clear of sediments which maybe present in the bottom
of the pit/well/tank.
6. Discharge
It is advisable to fit a check valve on the discharge piping to prevent fluid from re-circulating
when the pump has stopped.
If you are using a hard discharge pipe, screw this into the outlet of the pump housing. If you are
using a flexible discharge hose, use hose clamps to secure this to the fitting provided.
The length and diameter of the discharge hoses/pipes will affect the pressure and flow rate at
which your pump operates. A larger diameter hose or pipe will give less resistance to flow and
allow for best performance. Pressure ratings of all components must exceed the maximum
pressure of the pump by an appropriate safety factor. All pipe work should be supported
independently of the pump.
7. Float Switch
SPK450AF is with float switch.
SPK450 & SPK450M is without float switch.
The function of float switch is to control pump working automatically.The pump works when the
float is higher than certain level and stops operating when pump float is in the low position.
Please check that the float switch is free from any obstacle before using the pump.
8. Filter Mesh
The pump is designed for clean water, and can also be used for swimming pools. If using in a
swimming pool a filter mesh will need to be fitted to filter impurities such as hair and cloth. Please
leave some space between the filter and pump for its heat radiation.
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure that the pump submerged in water before connecting power.
2. Connect power plug to a suitable outlet. Then the pump start to work
3. During the running of the pump, if any abnormal phenomena, such as unusual sound, low
water drawn out or intermittent water flow etc., you should immediately switch off the power
supply and make an inspection to investigate the fault. Do not touch the pump body whilst the
pump is plugged in to its power supply and still wet.
4. For SPK450
You must pay attention to the water level whilst the pump is in operation, if the water level is
less than 2mm you should immediately disconnect the power supply to stop the pump
working. Otherwise if it runs without water for a period of time the motor will over heat and
burn out the windings,
This will invalidate the warranty.

www.hscuk.co.uk
For SPK450M
You must pay attention to the water level whilst the pump is in operation, if the water level is
sufficiently reduced you should immediately disconnect the power supply to stop the pump
working. Otherwise if it runs without water for a period of time the motor will over heat and
burn out the windings,
This will invalidate the warranty.
For SPK450AF
The pump will stop working automatically due to the float switch function.
5. If the pump must be removed from the pit, use the nylon rope or stainless cable to lift it. Do
not use the power cable or float switch to lift the pump.
6. After using the pump, disconnect it from its power supply remove it from the pumping
environment and clean it in/ with clean water, then clean away any mud/dirt from the inside and
outside of the pump. Coat moving parts with oil and store in a dry place. The pump should be
checked for any damage to the unit and power cable and repaired straight away with genuine spare
parts. This should be done by a suitably qualified person only.

Ensure that the height that you

www.hscuk.co.uk
are trying to lift water is within
the pump’s capacity. A larger
pump may be required.

pump
Wait until there is enough
water in the pit. Ensure the
float switch is operating freely.
(SPK450AF Only)

though there is little water in
the pit
Float switch is trapped in the
‘up’ position (SPK450AF
Only)
Ensure that the float can move
freely
Float switch is
faulty(SPK450AF Only)
Replace the float switch
Pump runs intermittently;
Thermal protection inside the
pump is tripping and resetting
The pump is not completely
submerged
Ensure pump is covered with
water
Water temperature is too high
Ensure that the water
temperature limits are
observed
Pump runs intermittently
When the pump shuts off,
water in the discharge line is
running back into the pit,
lifting the float switch
(SPK450AF Only)
Fit a non-return valve at the
pump discharge so that water
cannot return to the pit
SERVICE
Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best results, use only genuine
service parts.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor and remove
plug from power outlet before working on pump or motor.
