2. Bezpečnostní informace
Právní prohlášení: This item, component, package, or system is intended for professional use only, by persons knowledgeable of how to determine if it is chemically compatible with the liquid(s) to be pumped, the safe installation, use, and maintenance of pressure-generating and pressure-containing devices, and the safe installation, use, and maintenance of electrically, pneumatically, and hydraulically powered equipment.
- Always ensure the motor is disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance or installation procedures.
- Verify chemical compatibility between the motor components and the pumped media.
- Operate the motor only in well-ventilated areas.
- The no-volt release feature prevents accidental startup after a power interruption, enhancing user safety. Do not bypass this safety mechanism.

5. Provoz
- Startování motoru: Press the green 'ON' switch located on the handle. The motor should start immediately.
- Nastavení rychlosti: Use the electronic speed setting dial (if applicable) to control the motor's RPM and thus the pumping volume. Turn the dial clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Zastavení motoru: Press the red 'OFF' switch or release the 'ON' switch (if it's a momentary switch).
- Beznapěťové uvolnění: In the event of a power interruption, the motor will automatically shut off and will not restart until the 'ON' switch is manually pressed again after power is restored. This is a critical safety feature.
6. Údržba
- Pravidelný úklid: Keep the motor housing clean and free from dust and debris to ensure optimal air cooling. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Inspekce: Periodically inspect the power cable for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. Replace immediately if damage is found.
- Větrání: Ensure the motor's ventilation openings are not obstructed during operation.
- Profesionální servis: For internal maintenance or repairs, contact authorized FLUX service personnel. Do not attempt to open the motor housing yourself.
7. Řešení problémů
- Motor se nespustí:
- Zkontrolujte napájení a připojení.
- Ensure the 'ON' switch is fully engaged.
- Verify that the no-volt release has been reset by pressing the 'ON' switch after a power interruption.
- Reduced Pumping Performance:
- Check the speed setting; adjust if necessary.
- Inspect the pump for blockages or wear (refer to pump manual).
- Neobvyklý hluk nebo vibrace:
- Okamžitě zastavte motor.
- Inspect for loose connections or foreign objects.
- If the issue persists, contact FLUX service.
