SERVICING 1. ALWAYS have the pump serviced by your local CLARKE dealer, using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure the safety of the pump is maintained. The use of non standard parts could be hazardous.
INTRODUCTION The CU150 Pump consists of a petrol (gasoline) engine and water pump which is fixed to the frame via a shock absorbing mounting. The self-priming pump consists of a pump body, cover, impeller and mechanical seal assembly. The inlet of the pump is higher than the inlet of the impeller so that it can start operating when only the body of the pump is filled with water.
PREPARATION FOR USE INSTALLING THE HANDLE The handle must be bolted to the frame using two M8 x 12 bolts (item 2 - pages 20/21). Bolt the handle to the frame & tighten securely as shown in Fig 3. ADDING OIL Note: This pump is not supplied with engine oil.
INSTALLATION POSITIONING THE PUMP 1. Place the pump on a firm foundation and as near to the water source as possible. 2. Ensure there is adequate drainage for the discharged water, and that there is no danger of damage to property as a result of the pumping operation.
REMEMBER: Contaminated water is water containing small solids in suspension, do not pump slurry, sludge, sand, or mud. CONNECTING THE STRAINER 1. Attach the suction strainer to the end of suction hose using the third hose clamp (of the three supplied), to prevent stones etc, from being drawn up, which could cause severe damage to the pump.

6. Once the engine starts, gradually return the choke to the left (RUN) position as the engine warms up, and use the engine throttle to gradually increase engine speed. 7. After starting the engine, move the throttle to the LEFT (open) position during priming of the pump and checking for pump output which is controlled by adjusting the engine speed.
MAINTENANCE 1 Always maintain the pump in a clean condition, checking regularly for loose bolts etc. AIR FILTER 1. Clean the air filter once every 50 hours of use (or more often in unusually dusty conditions) as follows. Unscrew both the plastic wingnuts and lift out the cleaner element.

CHANGING THE OIL The oil in the engine should be changed after the first 20 hours use and thereafter every 6 months or 100 running hours. 1. Remove the dipstick and drain plug and then gently tilt the machine to drain the oil into a suitable container.
