Dispose of all packaging appropriately.
FITTING THE HOSE ADAPTOR
A selection of adaptors in
½
”,
¾”
and 1”sizes are supplied. The hose adaptor
must be screwed onto the pump outlet.
1. Fit the required size adaptor according to the hose being used.
• Reducing the hose diameter will effect the maximum flow rate.
2. Connect a suitable hose (not supplied) to the adaptor
• Suitable hoses are available from your local Clarke dealer.
POSITIONING AND OPERATING
1. Place the pump on a flat surface in the area that you want to drain.
• If the pump is to be used where there may be silt or mud (for example,
garden ponds), keep the pump clear of sediment by standing it on a
platform or brick.
• In deep water it may be helpful to raise and lower the pump using a
rope attached to the lifting handle. Do not lift the pump by the mains or
float switch cables.
• Take all necessary precautions as described on page 3.
2. Connect the mains plug to the power supply. The pump will begin to drain
water.
• Always use a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD) which has a
tripping current of less then 30 mA.
• The Hippo 2 is designed for use with clean fresh water. Avoid using your
pump with salt water or with water containing chemicals as these can
cause damage to the pump. If the pump does come into contact with
salt water or chemicals, wash it in fresh water immediately.
WARNING: CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE, DO NOT USE THE
PUMP IF DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
