Frequently Asked Questions - FVC 4001 EK Fieldmann

How do I prime the pump before first use?

Fill the pump casing and suction hose completely with water through the priming plug. Ensure no air is trapped. Then start the pump. The pump is self-priming but requires initial water filling.

Can I use this pump for dirty or muddy water?

No, the FVC 4001 EK is designed for clean water only. Using it with dirty water can damage the impeller and seals. For dirty water, consider a drainage pump.

What maintenance does the pump require?

Regularly clean the filter at the suction inlet. Check all seals and connections for leaks. Before winter, drain the pump completely and store it in a frost-free place.

Why is my pump not pumping water?

First, check that the suction hose is fully submerged and not blocked. Ensure the pump is primed (filled with water). If the motor runs but no water comes out, there may be an airlock or a leak in the suction line.

What type of hose connection does the pump use?

Both the inlet and outlet have standard 1" (25 mm) male thread connections. You can attach garden hoses with suitable adapters.

Does the pump have thermal overload protection?

Yes, the pump is equipped with an internal thermal protector that automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Once cool, the pump restarts automatically.

How should I store the pump in winter?

Disconnect the pump from power and water supply. Drain all water from the pump and hoses. Clean the pump and store it in a dry, frost-free location. Failure to drain may cause ice damage.

What is the maximum suction depth?

The maximum suction depth is 8 meters. For reliable operation, keep the suction lift as low as possible to avoid cavitation.

Can this pump be used with a pressure tank or irrigation system?

Yes, it can be used with a pressure tank for automatic water supply. Ensure the pump's flow rate matches your system requirements. A pressure switch may be needed.

If there are parts missing or they are damaged, please contact the vendor from whom you bought the machine.

Submersible pumps are installed as follows:

in a permanent position with a rigid pipe.
in a permanent position with a fl exible pipe.
You should never install the pump by hanging it on the outlet hose or power cord without additional support.
The submersible pump must be hung on a holder, or it must be placed on the bottom of the tank.
For the pump to function correctly the bottom part of the tank must be protected against any kind of dirt (applies to clean water pumps) and against any larger residue (for the size of dirty material see the technical specifications of the individual models).
If the water level declines too much, any residue in the pumping pit will quickly dry out and prevent the pump from starting again. It is therefore essential to regularly inspect the submersible pump (by starting it).
The float is set up in such a way that the pump may be started immediately.

After carefully reading these instructions you can prepare your pump for operation, however, keep the following points in mind:

* Check that the pump is standing on the bottom of the tank.
* Check that the outlet hose has been attached correctly.
* Check that the electrical connection is 230 V \~ 50 Hz.
* Check that the power socket is in good condition.
* Ensure that the moisture from the water can never get to the electrical power source.
* Prevent the pump from running empty.

Before putting the pump into operation, please check the following points:

The switching float is installed in such a way that it is possible to reach the activation level or the shut off level with only a small amount of force. After checking this installation, place the pump into a tank with water and carefully lift the switching float by hand and then put it down again. During this activity watch that the pump has started and then turned itself off.

* Ensure that the distance between the switching float and the pawl holder is not too small. It is not possible to guarantee correct operation when the gap is too small.
As soon as you set the switching float, check that it is not touching the underlay before the pump turns off.
The activity position of the switching float can be set by adjusting the float in the holder of the pawl.

ATTENTION! Danger of running when empty.

Note: The tank for the pump should have the minimum dimensions of 40 × 40 × 50 cm (height × width × depth), for the float to freely move with the switch.

Connecting to the mains

Your new submersible pump is equipped with a power plug, preventing discharge, meeting strict norms. The pump is designed to be connected to a safety power socket 230 V \~ 50 Hz. Check that it is in perfect condition. Insert the plug into the socket and the pump is ready for use.

ATTENTION! If the power cord or power plug are in any way damaged by an external action, do not repair the power cord and contact an authorised service centre!

ATTENTION! This repair should only be performed by an authorised service centre.
