10.4 Mounting and starting the device

1. Prepare a level and sturdy installation location

2. Install the pump horizontally and where it will not be flooded

Connect the suction line Note: We recommend the installation of flexible lines at the pump inlet to prevent mechanical pressure or tension being exerted on the pump.

1. Select the length of the suction line such that the pump cannot run dry. The suction

line must always be at least 30 cm under the water surface.

2. Connect the suction line. Ensure that the connection is tight, but take care not to

3. If the water carries a small amount of sand, aprefilter must be installed between

suction line and pump inlet.

4. Always lay the suction line with an upward gradient.

Note: If the suction head is more than 4 m, a suction hose with a diameter larger than 1” must be installed.

Install pressure line

1. Screw connecting nipple (13) with round seal ring (14) into pump outlet (2).

2. Screw elbow nipple (11) with seal (12) onto connecting nipple (13) and turn the

elbow nipple in the required direction.

3. Connect pressure line (10) to elbow nipple (11).

4. Open all shut-off devices (valves, spray nozzles, water tap) in the pressure line.

Important: Danger of damage to the device. Dry running will destroy the pump! The pump must be filled with water up to the overflow before each use so that it can draw water immediately.Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-GP1600/FX-GP1800/FX-GP1200_rev03

- Open filling screw (8). - Fill with water via the filling screw up to the mark on the pump housing - Screw in the filling screws again. Switching on

1. Open all shut-off devices (valve, spray nozzle, water cock) in the pressure line.

2. Insert the plug of the mains cable into the power socket.

3. Switch on the pump at the on / off switch.

Important: Danger of damage to the pump! A closed pressure line can result in damage to the pump. Do not allow the pump to run against a closed pressure line. Switching off Switch the pump off at the on / off switch after use. Close all the shut-off devices in the pressure line. Important: Danger of injury from hot water. After extended use against the closed pressure side (> 10 min.), the water in the pump can become very hot and may escape uncontrolled! Disconnect the pump from the mains supply and allow the pump and water to cool down. Put the pump into operation again only after all the faults have been remedied! The risk of injury from hot water can arise in the event of: - Incorrect installation, - Closed pressure side, - Lack of water in the suction line, or - Defective pressure switch Procedure in case of overheating

1. Disconnect the pump from the mains supply and allow the pump and water to cool

2. Check the pump, installation and water level.

3. Put the pump into operation again only after all the faults have been remedied!Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-GP1600/FX-GP1800/FX-GP1200_rev03

Danger of electric shock When working on the pump, there is the risk of receiving an electric shock. - Disconnect the mains plug before correcting any malfunctions! - Faults in the electrical system must be rectified by a qualified electrician.

Malfunction Possible cause Remedy Motor does not run. Impeller blocked. Remove dirt from the suction area. Clean with a suitable tool through the opening on the back of the motor housing. Thermal protection switch has switched off. Wait until the thermal protection switch on the pump switches on again. Take note of the maximum temperature of the conveying medi- um. Have the pump inspected. No mains power. Check fuses, have the power supply checked by a qualified electrician. Pump running but does not feed. Water level too low. Submerge the suction hose deeper. Air in pump housing. Fill the pump. Pump drawing in air. Check all connections and the cover on the filter for leaks. Blockage on the suction side. Caution! Risk of burns from hot water! Remove dirt from the suction area. Pressure line closed off. Caution! Risk of burns from hot water! Open the pressure lone. Pressure hose kinked. Extend the pressure hose. Delivery rate too low. Pressure hose kinked. Extend the pressure hose. Hose diameter too small. Use a hose with a bigger diameter. Blockage on the suction side. Remove dirt from the suction area. Feed head to high.
