INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply until all hose/pipe installations are completed.

Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are supplied with your pump. However, accessories designed specifically for this pump are available from your CLARKE dealer. The performance of your pump will be affected by the diameter of the inlet pipe - any restriction will greatly reduce the flow.
PRIMING THE PUMP When suction lift is used to draw water into the pump it is essential that all connections and hoses are completely air tight or the system will not work. It is necessary to completely fill the inlet side of the pump with water before being started for the first time or if the system has been drained for maintenance/repair.
THE CONTROL PANEL The "Power On" indicator light indicates that there is power to the pump. Press the "Reset" button to start the pump running. It may also be that the pump is in pressure holding and stopped state. When the pressure on the discharge side is lower than the starting pressure, the pump will automatically start pumping.
1. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry, otherwise the seal between the pump and motor may be damaged. If a leak occurs at this point, allowing water to pass from the pump to the motor, contact your Clarke dealer for overhaul.
The pump should not be taken apart by the user if overhaul is required, but should be taken to your nearest CLARKE dealer for repair. Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com...
