Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE, HIPPO Submersible Pump.

These highly efficient pumps are designed for pumping clean water only, and are ideally

suited for draining ornamental ponds, swimming pools etc.Water temperature must not

exceed 35° C.

The HIPPO-3A differs from the HIPPO-3 in that it incorporates a float switch, which

automatically switches the pump OFF and ON when the water reaches a pre-determined

level.The minimum suction level being 5mm.Both models are available for use with 110V

and 230V supply’s.Please take note of the information regarding Electrical Installation .

Before attempting to operate your pump, please read this instruction manual thoroughly

and follow all directions carefully. This is for your own safety and that of others around

you, and to help you achieve long and trouble free service from your pump.

a swimming pool when there is no person or animal in the pool.

5. Alwaysdisconnectthepump from the electrical supplybefore

placing it into, or removing it from the water, and before any

cleaning or maintenance of the pump.

6. Always use the moulded handle with a rope or cord attached

when lifting the pump.NEVER lift the pump by the mains

cable, or, where fitted, the float switch cable.

7. DO NOT run the pump with the body exposed for longer

than 10 minutes.

8. DO NOT install the pump on ground which is likely to shift.

9. Do not use the pump if the water is liable to freeze, as this can cause damage to the

pump.Remove the pump from the water and store it in a frost free location.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

230V models should have their mains lead connected to a standard 230Volt (50Hz)

electrical supply through an approved plug or a suitably fused isolator switch.

110V models should have their mains lead connected to a suitable 110V supply (50Hz)

through an approved plug or suitably fused isolator switch, or to a suitable portable 110V

transformer.

We recommend that these pumps be fitted with a Residual Current Device (RCD).

If the pump is to be connected to an outdoor electrical supply, make sure that both the

plug and the socket are of a BS approved waterproof design.

In the event that the pump is hard wired into the electrical system, it must be carried out

in accordance with IEE regulations.

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.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

230V only

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following

code: Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the flexible cord of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

Connect GREEN &YELLOW cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “E” or

Earth symbol “ “ or coloured GREEN or GREEN &YELLOW.

Connect BROWN cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “L” or coloured RED

Connect BLUE cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “N” or coloured BLACK

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug for this appliance must be rated at 13 amps.

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable (i.e. non-

rewirable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable.There is a danger of

electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct

replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).

4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most electrical

outlets

5. The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and

this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.

IMPORTANT:If you are in any doubt regarding electrical installation, you should

consult a qualified electrician.

FEATURES

The pumps are of rugged and durable construction, designed for long lasting continuous

operation, and the motor is provided with a built in overload protector.

For your information, the chart on page 7 illustrates the flow rate at various heads.

(HEAD is the distance, or height, from the pump outlet 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.

Automatic Pumps, i.e. those fitted with a Float Switch, denoted by an ‘A’ suffix to their

modelnumber, are suitablefor permanentorsemi-permanent installations,eg.installations

where it is necessary to maintain a water at a particular level.

As the water level rises, the switch will float, and start the pump.As the water level falls,

so will the float switch, until it stops the pump.

Float switches are factory set to provide the correct ON-OFF switching mode, however,

you can adjust the level at which the pump cuts out by sliding the float switch cable, in its

clip attached to the handle, to either shorten or lengthen it as the case may be. The

shorter it is, the earlier it will cut out and therefore, the deeper will be the water at this

point.

INSTALLATION

An Elbow Outlet is provided with a 1-1/4”BSP

thread at either end as shown in the diagram

opposite.Ensure the end provided with an O-Ring

is screwed into the pump outlet. Screwed into the

other end of the elbow, is a multi hose connector

capable of accepting 1”, 3/4” 0r 1/2” hose. Simply

attach a suitable hose to your preferred connector

with a worm drive clip.

If the pump is to be used for drainage purposes, or

in situations that demand maximum efficiency, we

stronglyrecommendthatyouconnecta1”dia.hose

to the multi hose adapter, preferably cutting off the other two stages at the groove at the

end of the 1” dia. step.

Alternatively, you may remove the multi adapter

altogether,andscrewona1-1/4”BSP hose adapter

as shown in fig.2.

The pump is completely submersible, and should

beplacedina verticalposition,on a solidflatsurface.

If this is not available, sit the pump a solid surface, eg. house bricks, but ensure they are

not likely to shift. IMPORTANT:

ALWAYS raise and lower the pump using a rope attached to the lifting handle, NEVER

by the power cable.

Automatic versions should be placed in a sump which has adequate dimensions so as

not to restrict the movement of the float switch.

Take all necessary precautions as described on page 2 before plugging in, and switching

ON.

SUITABLE HOSE, and SPARE/REPLACEMENT MULTI HOSE ADAPTERS ARE

AVAILABLE FROMYOUR CLARKE DEALER

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Before checking the condition of the pump, ensure it is unplugged from the

mains supply. If the unit is hard wired, ensure the circuit breaker is open.

Check the pump installation regularly to ensure the base inlet is clear of leaves or other

debris.

If the pump has been used for pumping salt water, ensure it is flushed with clean mains

water thoroughly before storing.

Note that these pumps are fitted with automatic thermal overload protection.If the pump

overheats due to an obstruction in the pump, or pumping warm water for example, it will

shutoffautomatically.Switch the pump OFF and disconnect from the mainssupply.Check

for blockages and allow the motor to cool (at least 5 minutes) before attempting to re-

start.

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. Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself, as you may damage the waterproof

seal and invalidate your guarantee.Repairs must be carried out by your CLARKE dealer,

or contact the CLARKE Service Department, on 020 8988 7400
