NOTE: As the filler hole is quite small, it is recommended that you fill the inlet pipe
with water before it is connected to the pump, and top up through the filler plug
once the pipe is connected.

2. Adjust any device which may be fitted to the outlet side of the pump, so as to

ensure as great a flow as possible.

3. Switch on the pump. Water should start to flow through the system.

Check for leaks and adjust the flow if necessary using the gate valve (or
other type of restriction) on the delivery side of the pump.
Remember that some resistance (head) is required on the outlet side of the
pump to prevent motor overload.

B. CPE10S

It is only necessary to fill the pump body with water prior to starting for the first
time, or if the water has been completely drained from the system during
maintenance etc. This is carried out through the filler plug on top of the pump.

Do not allow the pump to run dry, otherwise the seal between the pump and
motor may be damaged. If a leak is noticed at this point it may indicate that the
seal is worn and therefore in need of replacement. Contact your CLARKE dealer,
or the Clarke International Service Department for advice.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the system is set up properly, there is little likelihood of problems arising, but if
water will not flow as it should then check the following points:-

1. The suction hose and connections including the filler plug need to be

completely air tight, otherwise air will be drawn in and either reduce or
completely stop the flow of water.

2. Ensure that the system has been fully primed with water up to the level of the

filler plug (TAM Pumps only).

3. Check to see that no foreign matter is fouling the intake system - in the case

of the TAM pumps check the filter is not blocked or obstructed.

4. Check that the vertical height between the level of the water intake and the

ultimate discharge point does not exceed the stated maximum head for your
pump, (see Specifications on page 7). If this should be the case then the
height must be reduced.

5. Should the pump be idle for a considerable period of time, it is possible for fur

build up to occur, preventing the impeller from turning when eventually the
pump is switched on. By turning the impeller by some means, usually frees it
up sufficient for the pump to operate normally.

As a precaution, if it is known that the pump will not be used for some time, it
should be disconnected from the system and thoroughly reversed flushed
using clean water, drained completely, then stored in a clean dry environment.

Should you still have problems with your pump, consult your local Clarke dealer,
or Clarke International Service department.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with
I.E.E. Regulations. However, in the further interests of safety we would emphasise
the following :-

This product should be connected to a standard domestic 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz),
electrical supply and we strongly recommend that this be done through a
Residual Current Device.

IMPORTANT: Should the supply be taken from a normal 13 amp socket, then the
plug used must be to BS 1363 standard, and the wires should be wired up in
accordance with the following colour code:

Green & Yellow .............. Earth or marked with a letter “E” or Earth symbol “ ”.

Blue .................................. Neutral or terminal marked with a letter “N”

Brown .............................. Live or terminal marked with a letter “L”

WARNING: THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED.

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug must be rated as follows:

TAM105, TAM110 and CPE10S ................................. 5 amps

TAM120 ....................................................................... 13 amps

Do not attempt electrical installation work if you are in any doubt as to how it

WATER CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: The pump must not be connected to the power supply until the hose/
pipe installation is completed.

If any part of the system is to be connected to the mains water supply, do ensure
that you comply with your local water authority regulations.

Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are supplied
as standard with your pump. However, accessories designed specifically for this
range of pumps are available from your CLARKE dealer and are listed on page 7.

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 as necessary to secure the pump firmly in its operating position. Also, ensure
that there is adequate air circulation around the motor.

Avoid situations where there is the risk of water coming into contact with the outside
of the pump. Neither the motor or the terminal box are intended to be waterproof.

These notes are for guidance on how to achieve a proper working system.

Green/Yellow

However, if this is not possible then water
may be drawn from a lower level by means
of suction (Method B).

The suction lift i.e. the vertical distance
between the water level and the pump
should not exceed distance specified for
your pump (see Specifications on page 7).

When using this method, a foot valve, must
be fitted to the lower end of the suction
hose, (as illustrated below), so as to help
retain water in the suction system.

pump.

The delivery head i.e. the vertical distance between the pump and the point of
discharge should be at least 5 feet. If this cannot be achieved naturally, then it
can be simulated by restricting the outlet flow from the pump.

The illustration shows a gate valve V installed in­line on the delivery side of the pump which can
be set as required to regulate the flow of water.

Do not place any such restriction on the suction
side of the pump unless it serves only to isolate a
gravity fed water supply.

To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion
to the pump, ensure that adequate support is
provided to the hoses and/or pipes. Remember they
will be considerably heavier when filled with water.

Should sand, chemical or other contaminant come into contact with the pump,
flush through with cold clean water as soon as possible.

Protect the pump and pipework from freezing. The formation of ice may cause
serious damage.

PRIMING

When suction lift is used to draw water into the pump it is essential that all
connections and hoses are completely air tight, otherwise the system will not work.

The schematic diagrams illustrate possible
methods of pipework installation. Water
intake can be by means of either:-

A. Gravity Feed or B. Suction Lift

Water being taken in by the pump should,
whenever possible, be fed by means of
gravity (Method A).

A. TAM Pumps

Before pumping will start it is necessary to completely fill the suction side with
water. This is known as priming the pump and is carried out as follows :-

1. With the pump, all pipes/hoses and the foot valve in position, unscrew the
priming plug (small hexagon nut on top of pump body, adjacent to the pump
outlet) and fill to capacity with clean water. Replace the priming plug.
