3.3 Elektriske forbindelser

• The heavy-duty motor is dual-voltage (230V/115V). Refer to the motor wiring diagram for proper voltage selection and connection.
• The pump comes with a prewired 30/50 PSI pressure switch.
• Sørg for, at strømforsyningen passer til pumpens volumentage requirements and is protected by an appropriately sized circuit breaker (e.g., 15 amp on 230V / 20 amp on 115V).

3.4 Spædning af pumpen

The FP4022 is self-priming after the pump housing is initially filled with water. Before first use or after any service that drains the pump, remove the priming plug and fill the pump casing completely with water. Replace the plug securely before starting the pump.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

Once installed and primed, the pump operates automatically based on the pressure switch settings.

• Sørg for, at strømforsyningen er tilsluttet og tændt.
• The pressure switch is factory preset to 30-50 PSI. The pump will turn on when system pressure drops to 30 PSI and turn off when it reaches 50 PSI.
• Monitor the system for any unusual noises or leaks during initial operation.
• The pump has a maximum flow rate of 720 GPH (12 Gallons Per Minute) at 40 PSI.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Flotec jet pump.

• Vinterisering: In areas subject to freezing, drain the pump completely and store it in a warm, dry place or ensure all water is removed from the pump and piping to prevent freeze damage.
• Inspektion: Periodically inspect the pump and piping for leaks, corrosion, or damage.
• Rensning: Keep the motor vents clear of debris to ensure proper cooling.
• The pump is a serviceable unit. Refer to the repair parts diagram for component identification if service is required.
