    INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Pump. The PW50A petrol driven pump is designed for pumping clean water, or water containing small solids in suspension. As the pump is fitted with an open impeller the suction strainer supplied must always be used to ensure that large stones or other objects cannot be drawn up, as this would cause severe damage to the pump.

The use of non- standard parts could be hazardous. 19. ALWAYS check for any damage or any condition that could affect the operation of the pump.

Pay particular attention to the following: • Always ensure the hose adaptor sealing ring is in place and correctly fitted. • Always use a flexible hose at the pump body connection of at least 1ft (300 mm) length.
