Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE, HIPPO JUNIOR Submersible Pump. This highly efficient pump is designed for pumping clean water only, and is ideally suited for draining ornamental ponds, swimming pools, flooded cellars, etc. It is not suitable for use as a pond pump. Water temperature must not exceed 35° C.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect mains lead to a standard 230Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through a BS 1363 approved, 13 amp plug or a suitably fused isolator switch. Additionally, we strongly recommend that it be connected via a Residual Current Device (RCD). If used for draining swimming pools or ponds, the pump MUST be fitted with a Residual Current Device (RCD), with a rated residual operating current of no greater than 30mA.

FEATURES The pump is of rugged and durable construction, and the motor is provided with a built in overload protector. The chart on page 7 illustrates the flow rate at various heads. (HEAD is the distance, or height, from the surface of the water to the highest point of discharge) All models are designed for pumping CLEAN WATER ONLY and will pump down to a water level of 5mm.
C. PUMP WILL NOT STOP Float switch may be prevented from moving to the fully down position. Float switch may be faulty. Consult your CLARKE dealer for advice. D. PUMP STOPS RUNNING Thermal overload has operated. If this condition persists, investigate the cause.
These pumps should require no maintenance other than regular cleaning. If the pump starts to show signs of wear or damage, contact your CLARKE dealer for advice. Do not use the pump if there is any damage to the mains supply cable, or to the float switch or its cable.
