WARNING: WHEN USING PUMPS, ALWAYS FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND
PERSONAL INJURY. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU
OPERATE THIS PUMP AND SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. ALWAYS obey all safety precautions for the handling of fuel.
2. ALWAYS make sure that you are familiar with this pump, and follow all
instructions in this manual.
3. ALWAYS make sure that the pump is positioned correctly to prevent it from
moving during operation.
4. Keep the area adjacent to the pump clear.
5. ALWAYS connect the strainer to the suction hose to stop stones and other
solids from being pulled into the pump. These can cause damage to the
pump.
6. ALWAYS keep the pump dry and clear of discharge hose.
7. Only use parts supplied by the manufacturer. Using non-standard parts can
be dangerous.
8. ALWAYS use at least 300mm of flexible hose to make plumbing connections
to the pump. Rigid piping can put stress on the pump, causing damage. If
you use rigid piping, it must be supported to eliminate stress on the
connections.
9. DO NOT refuel the engine while it is operating and let the engine cool
sufficiently before refuelling.
10. DO NOT use to pump petrol (or other flammable liquids), or corrosive
chemicals. The function of this pump is to pump WATER ONLY.
11. DO NOT operate this pump in an explosive atmosphere, near combustible
materials, or where there is insufficient ventilation.
12. DO NOT let children use this pump.
13. DO NOT run the pump dry. Always fill the pump with water before starting.
14. DO NOT direct the discharge flow towards another person.
15. DO NOT over-tighten drain or filler plugs. Excessive force can damage the
threads or the pump body.
16. DO NOT direct the water discharge towards electrical wiring or equipment.
1. ALWAYS keep work area clean & tidy. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
2. NEVER over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
3. ALWAYS make sure that the workplace is well lit. Make sure that that lighting
is placed so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
4. Dress correctly. Loose clothing or jewellery can get caught in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
5. ALWAYS wear safety glasses. (Everyday glasses are not safety glasses).
CARE OF PUMPS
1. The CLARKE service department must replace damaged components.
2. ALWAYS examine the pump for damage that can effect the operation of
the pump. Repair any damaged parts.
3. Have your pump repaired by a qualified person. Repairs must only be
carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts.
Keep the instructions for future reference.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
The meanings of the markings and symbols on the pump are shown below
Read this manual before use and keep it for future reference
For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use
hoses that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to
produce the greatest output with the least self-priming time.
As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decreases. The length,
type, and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect
pump output.
Discharge head capability is always greater than suction head capability, so it
is important for suction head to be the shorter part of total head
WARNING: WHEN YOU OPERATE THE PUMP, THE EXHAUST MUFFLER
WILL BE VERY HOT.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IN A CLOSED SPACE,
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT AIRFLOW AROUND THE
PUMP.
PRIME THE PUMP
1. The pump MUST be primed before
use
2. Before starting the engine,
remove the filler cap from the
pump chamber.
3. Fill the pump chamber and inlet
hose with water.
NOTE: A foot valve (not supplied)
connected to the lower end
of the inlet hose between
the hose and the strainer will
help to maintain priming,
4. Replace the filler cap and tighten
it securely.
.
WARNING: OPERATING THE PUMP DRY WILL DESTROY THE PUMP
SEAL. IF THE PUMP IS OPERATED DRY, STOP THE ENGINE
IMMEDIATELY, AND LET THE PUMP COOL BEFORE PRIMING
CAUTION: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO USED ENGINE OIL IS DANGEROUS,
ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING USED
ENGINE OIL.
Change the oil in the engine after the first 20 hours use and thereafter every 6
months or 100 running hours.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
2. Put a oil collection tray below the
drain plug.
3. Unscrew the drain plug and let
the used engine oil drain from the
crankcase into the oil collection
tray.
NOTE: Drain the engine oil when the
engine is warm, this will make
sure that the oil flows out faster.
4. Replace the drain plug.
5. Fill the crankcase with engine oil.
• Fill until the oil touches the threads in the oil fill tube.
• Oil capacity (0.6l).
• We recommend that you use SAE15W40 oil in this pump available
from your CLARKE dealer.
6. Replace the oil filler cap/dipstick.
