5. Postavljanje i instalacija

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the fuel pump. Follow these steps carefully:

5.1 Provjera prije instalacije

• Ensure the external fuel tank (purchased separately) is clean and free of debris.
• Verify that the external fuel tank's depth and fuel cap thread match the fuel pump's requirements. The fuel tank depth should be greater than 3.74 inches, the diameter of the fuel tank port should be 2.17 inches, and the thread pitch should be approximately 0.18 inches.
• Confirm your generator is compatible with the GMEFP pump (GENMAX inverter generators 2kW-5kW).

5.2 Connecting the Fuel Pump

1. Install the Fuel Pump: Securely screw the GENMAX GMEFP fuel pump into the fuel tank opening of your generator. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
2. Connect Fuel Hose to External Tank: Connect one end of the provided fuel hose (with the primer bulb) to the outflow port of your external fuel tank. Ensure this connection is secure.
3. Connect Fuel Hose to Pump: Connect the other end of the fuel hose to the tubing connection port on the GENMAX GMEFP fuel pump. This port indicates fuel flow to the generator.
4. Priključite napajanje: Choose the appropriate 12V DC power plug (crocodile clips or cigarette lighter) and connect it to the 12V DC power cable of the fuel pump. Then, connect the power plug to your generator's 12V DC output or another suitable 12V DC power source.
5. Pozicioniranje: Place the external fuel tank on a stable surface, ensuring it is below the generator's fuel tank for optimal gravity feed assistance during priming. Ensure the fuel hose is not kinked and is clear of hot engine components, especially the muffler.

6. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once the fuel pump is correctly installed and connected, follow these steps for operation:

1. Napunite sistem goriva: Before starting the generator, use the primer bulb on the fuel hose to manually draw gasoline from the external tank towards the pump. Squeeze the bulb until it feels firm, indicating fuel has reached the pump.
2. Pokrenite generator: Start your GENMAX inverter generator according to its own instruction manual.
3. Activate the Fuel Pump: Locate the switch on the GENMAX GMEFP fuel pump and turn it to the "ON" position. The pump will begin to monitor the fuel level in the generator's tank.
4. Automatic Refueling: When the generator's fuel level drops to a predetermined low point, the GMEFP pump will automatically activate and transfer fuel from the external tank to the generator's tank.
5. Overfill Protection: The pump's internal fault detection system will automatically stop the fuel transfer once the generator's tank is full, preventing overfilling and ensuring safe operation.
6. Kontinuirani rad: The pump will cycle on and off as needed to maintain the fuel level, allowing for extended, unattended generator operation.

Napomena: If the generator is not a GENMAX model, ensure its fuel tank depth and fuel cap thread are compatible with the pump before use.

7. Održavanje

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your GENMAX GMEFP fuel pump.

• Pregledajte veze: Before each use, check all fuel hose and power connections for tightness and signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Očistite pumpu: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dirt, dust, and fuel spills. Use a damp cloth for cleaning; do not immerse the pump in water.
• Filter goriva: Periodically inspect the fuel filter (if accessible) for clogging. Clean or replace as necessary to ensure proper fuel flow.
• Skladištenje: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the pump, drain any remaining fuel, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

8. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your GENMAX GMEFP fuel pump, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pump Not Activating:
  • Ensure the pump's switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check the 12V DC power connection. Verify the power source is active and the cables are securely connected.
  • Confirm the generator's fuel level is low enough to trigger the pump's automatic activation.
• No Fuel Transfer:
  • Check if the external fuel tank has sufficient gasoline.
  • Ensure the fuel hose is not kinked or obstructed.
  • Prime the fuel system using the primer bulb until fuel is visible or the bulb feels firm.
  • Inspect the fuel filter for clogs.
• Curenje goriva:
