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 SPE1200SS pump
also includes a 13mm hexagonal
connector used to extend the
bolts between pump & motor
housing (item 25 on p16).
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.
