The Clarke 7230175 DW75 Diesel Pump should be operated using standard diesel fuel. Ensure the fuel is clean and free from contamination to maintain optimal performance.
To start the pump, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the throttle to the 'start' position, and pull the recoil starter handle firmly. Always check that the pump is primed before starting.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil every 50 hours of operation, cleaning the air filter every 25 hours, and inspecting the fuel system for leaks regularly. Refer to the user manual for detailed maintenance intervals.
Check for blockages in the hoses or inlet strainer, ensure the pump is properly primed, and inspect the impeller for wear or damage. Also, verify that the suction lift is within the pump's specified limits.
Always operate the pump in a well-ventilated area, keep flammable materials away, and never refuel while the engine is running. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.
To winterize, drain all water from the pump to prevent freezing damage, add fuel stabilizer to the tank, and store the pump in a dry, protected location. It's also advisable to change the oil before storage.
Check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is in good condition, and inspect the air filter for clogs. Make sure the engine stop switch is in the 'on' position.
Yes, the pump is designed to handle small solids and debris typically found in flood water or construction sites. However, ensure the inlet strainer is used to prevent larger debris from entering the pump.
Regular maintenance, using clean fuel, ensuring proper priming, and operating within the recommended parameters will help increase the pump's longevity. Avoid running the pump dry and address any issues promptly.
To change the oil, warm up the engine for a few minutes, turn it off, and drain the oil by removing the drain plug. Replace the plug, fill with new oil, and check the level with the dipstick. Dispose of used oil properly.
