Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com PREPARATION FOR USE Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are supplied with your pump, however accessories designed specifically for this range of pumps are available from your nearest CLARKE dealer. Contact your CLARKE dealer for further information. IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply until all hose/pipe installation is completed. POSITIONING THE PUMP A typical installation of the pump is shown in Fig 1. Connect the suction and discharge hoses to the pump housing to achieve an air-tight seal. Ensure there is no damage to the hoses which must be well protected and supported. The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e. with the outlet port facing vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base should be used to secure the pump firmly in its operating position. Always ensure there is adequate air circulation around the motor. Avoid situations where the pump could become drenched with water. Neither the motor or terminal box are designed to be waterproof. Position the pump as near to the water source as possible. Ensure there is adequate drainage and there is no risk of damage to property as a result of water being discharged. A foot valve/filter should be fitted to the lower end of the suction hose, as illustrated in Fig 2, in order to retain water in the suction system and more importantly, to prevent the possibility of large objects entering the pump body. The performance of your pump will be affected by the diameter of the inletpipe - any restriction will greatly reduce the flow. We strongly recommend that you use a pipe diameter as large as practical.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com A gate valve may be installed in-line on the delivery side (outlet port) of the pump which can be adjusted as required to regulate the flow of water, and can assist in priming the pump. CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE ANY SUCH OBSTRUCTION ON THE SUCTION (INLET) SIDE OF THE PUMP UNLESS IT IS AN ISOLATOR VALVE IN A GRAVITY FED SYSTEM. THESE PUMPS SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITH THE DELIVERY VALVE COMPLETELY CLOSED. To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion to the pump, ensure that adequate support is provided to the hoses and or pipes. They will be considerably heavier when filled with water. Should contaminants come into contact with the pump, flush through with cold water as soon as possible to prevent damage to the pump. Protect the pump and pipework from freezing. The formation of ice may cause serious damage. Where the pump is to be a permanent fixture, the connections to the pump MUST be flexible, i.e. a short piece of hose should be inserted between the rigid pipework and the pump. IMPORTANT: An air leak in the suction line will inhibit priming and reduce the capacity of the pump. Pay particular attention to the following: Keep all hoses as short and stra ight as possible and avoid sharp bends. Ensure there is adequate drainage for the discharged water. If a flexible hose must be laid across a roadway, protect it with planking. (Instantaneous shut off pressure, applied when a vehicle runs across an unprotected hose, could cause “hydraulic shock”, which can damage the pump and/or the hose). CONNECTING A FOOT VALVE/FILTER 1. Attach a foot valve/filter to the end of the suction hose to prevent stones etc, from being drawn up, which could cause damage to the pump. Keep the strainer clean. If it is likely to clog with dirt or debris, proceed by either: Preparing a bed of stones on which to rest the strainer. Tying the strainer so that it stays clear of the bottom of the pit, pond or excavation. Tie the strainer inside a basket or bucket.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com PRIMING THE PUMP Remove the filler plug on top of the pump case and prime the pump by filling completely with water, leaving no air gap. Remember the pump is self- priming only when filled, after which, it will re-prime itself without refilling. Refilling is necessary only if the pump has been drained, or if all the water has been lost. OPERATION 1. Open any valves in the pipeline. 2. Connect the power supply and switch the pump ON. 3. Wait for the pump to prime. 4. If the motor fails to start or the pump does not deliver water refer to TROUBLESHOOTING. NOTE: Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming process, and it is recommended that a non-return valve be fitted to the end of the suction pipe. In the event of blockages, where debris has entered the suction chamber, the chamber can be taken off and cleaned out as described under Maintenance. 5. Periodically, check the level of th e water being removed and never allow the pump to run dry. 6. Stop the pump by switching the pump the OFF (O) position. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Strain caused by vibration can be reduced by connecting a short flexible hose between any rigid pipework and the pump. Any restriction in the pipelin e will greatly reduce the flow. Ensure that the hoses and pipes are supported along their entire length. They will be considerably heavier when filled with water. We recommend that you install isolation valves either side of the pump in order to isolate the pump during maintenance/removal.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com A gate valve may be installed in -line on the delivery side of the pump which can be adjusted as required to regulate the flow of water and can assist in priming the pump. 7. If there is a chance of freezing, protect the pump and pipework with suitable lagging. The formation of ice may cause serious damage. SPE PUMP PERFORMANCE AFTER USE After use, and if the pump will not be used over the winter period, or if there is danger of freezing, always drain the pump body. If the pump has been used with contaminated or salty water, it should be thoroughly flushed with clean water following use, both inside and out. It should then be drained and covered over, if not already sheltered from the weather. If the pump is seized following a period of inactivity, it may be possible to free it off. Ensure the pump power supply is turned off before by inserting a screwdriver into either the infeed or discharge port and dislodging a jammed impeller. If this is not successful it may be necessary to remove the relevant mounting bolts to separate the pump body and clean away any incrustation. Re-prime the pump when returning to service. In the event that overhaul of the pump or motor is necessary, contact your Clarke service department.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com MAINTENANCE The only maintenance required is a regular inspection to ensure that leaves and other debris is not blocking the passage of water through the pump. If you suspect the pump is blocked by mud, silt, leaves etc, disconnect it from the mains supply and backflush to clear any blockage though the drain plug. Always keep the pump in a clean condition, checking regularly for loose bolts or a damaged power cable etc. If the pump has been used under arduous conditions leading to internal fouling or damage, the impeller housing can be removed by undoing the four socket-headed impeller housing bolts shown in Fig 4. The impeller can then be inspected for damage. Note that the pump also includes a 13mm hexagonal connector used to extend the bolts between pump & motor housing. STORAGE After use, drain the pump body whenever there is danger of freezing. If the pump has been used with contaminated or salty water, it should be thoroughly flushed with clean water following use, both inside and out. It should then be drained before replacing the drain plug and storing in a clean dry environment not exposed to the weather. In the event that dismantling and overhaul of the pump is necessary, contact your CLARKE International Service Department on 020-8988-7400.
