GB Operating Instructions - PREMAxx Diesel Pump
2.5. Risks when handling diesel and heating oil
Diesel fuels and heating oils are ammable liquids. If improperly handled, they can cause risks to
human health or to the environment.
NOTE
Observe the safety sheet for diesel and heating oil!
3. Transport and temporary storage
Before transport, ensure that there is no liquid (diesel or heating oil residues) in the pump. All additional
extensions must be removed from the pump.
Do not use the cable to transport the pump!
Storage and transport conditions:
– Weather-protected storage with temperature control, protection against frost, moisture and rain.
Maximum relative humidity: 80 %.
– Storage temperature range from -5 °C bis +55 °C
4. Design and functional description
The PREMAxx diesel pump is an electrically driven axial gear pump for the delivery of diesel fuels and hea-
ting oil. It is only designed for use as a barrel pump and can be screwed on storage barrels and containers.
The PREMAxx diesel pump is not a self-priming pump.
Operate the pump by hand before putting the pump into operation for the rst time or if the uid
column has dropped down, because the radial shaft seal may be destroyed by a dry run of the pump.
The pump is compact and handy and quickly ready for use thanks to its integrated priming stage,
which allows to manually pump small quantities of uid before commissioning or in case of a power
failure.
To avoid environmental damage, the electric PREMAxx diesel pump is equipped with a siphon protection
system.
In case the discharge hose is damaged while the pump is stopped, siphon action will prevent the uid
from escaping.
The pump housing is made of high-quality, impact-resistant plastic.
Numerous accessories from FMT allow a simple and quick mounting on each installation.
The materials the pump is made from are compatible with uids like diesel fuel and heating oil.
The pump is electrically driven by an alternating current motor suitable for continuous operation. The
pump is directly ange-mounted to the motor. In case of overload, a thermal protection device auto-
matically switches o the electric motor.
When the motor has cooled down, the thermal protection device automaticall restarts.

The PREMAx diesel pump is available in the following versions:
– Premaxx, 48 l/min-12.6 gpm 230 V-1~AC-50 Hz
–Premaxx , 35 l/min-9.2 gpm 12 V-DC battery terminal clips
– Premaxx , 40 l/min-10.5 gpm 24 V-DC battery terminal clips
4.1. Area of application
The PREMAxx diesel pump is an electrically driven pump for the delivery of diesel fuels and heating oil. It
is only designed for use as a barrel pump and can be screwed on storage barrels and containers.
The temperature of the delivery uids must be between –10 °C and + 35 °C. The temperatures must not
be above or below these limit values.
Since the motor and the switch are not explosion-protected the pump must not be operated in an
explosion risk area.
