If the diesel pump is incorrectly installed, or used for a purpose other
than that originally intended for, it can result in personal injury or
damage to equipment!
Before starting to use the diesel pump, read through these Operating Instructions
carefully and completely.
1.General Information
1.1 Usage Stipulations
•The diesel pump is to be used only for the delivery of diesel fuel and heating oil.
Danger!
Never use it to deliver explosive fluids such as petrol, or other fluids with similar
flashpoints!
2
Page 3
MOBIFIxx · MOBIMAxx Operating Instructions
•The diesel pump must be connected, according to the type, only to a 12 Volt- or 24
Volt-DC supply.
•To ensure that usage stipulations are met, read through the Operating Instructions
completely before using the pump and observe all stipulations.
•Any departure from the usage stipulations (other fluid media, use of force) or user
modifications (changes, use of non-original parts) can be dangerous and are
considered as non-stipulated usage.
•The user is liable for any damage resulting from non-stipulated use.
•During repairs to any electrical components, the appropriate safety and test
requirements are to be observed.
•Only original replacement parts are to be used for any repairs, otherwise the
warranty will be invalidated.
1.2 Construction and Functional Description
•Th
e diesel pumps are pumps that can be used as portable or fixed units.
•The diesel pumps can be fitted with a variety of FMT accessories.
•The diesel pumps are available in the following specifications:
• MOBIFIxx, 12 V DC and 24 V DC, 35 l/min
• MOBIMAxx, 12 V DC and 24 V DC, 60 l/min
• To prevent environmental damage the diesel pump is fitted with a siphon
protection system. This means that if the discharge hose is damaged while the
pump is stopped, siphon action will not empty the tank.
1.3 Application Range
The diesel pump is suitable for the delivery of diesel and heating oil only when they
are not heated above their flash points.
The temperature of the delivery fluids must be between –10 °C and +40 °C. The
temperature limits must not be exceeded.
Because the motor and switch are not explosion-protected, the pump must not
•be operated in an explosion risk area.
•be used to deliver fuels of danger classification A I, A II and B

1.5 Operational Area Requirements
Heating oil and diesel are water polluting substances. Therefore the country specific
rules and regulations regarding the delivery and storage of such fluids must be
obeyed.
According to § 19g WHG (Germany) the filling installation must be so constructed and
built, maintained and operated, such that water pollution and/or any other
environmental damage is prevented.
The operator of such an installation is, according to § 19i WHG (Germany) responsible
for continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with the above stated requirements
at the installation.
2.General Safety Advice
2.1 Safe Working Advice
• The diesel pump has been designed and manufactured according to the health and
safety requirements of the relevant EC guidelines.
4
Page 5
MOBIFIxx · MOBIMAxx Operating Instructions
• Nevertheless, there can still be risks if the product is not set up or operated as
stipulated.
• Therefore, before using the diesel pump, read these operation instructions and
pass them on to other users.
• When operating the diesel pump, the local safety and accident prevention rules
and regulations always apply, as well as the safety advice in the Operating
Instructions.
2.2 Risks when Working with the Diesel Pump
Danger!
Never work on a pump that is running!
Mount or remove attachments and accessories only when the pump is switched
off.
For your own safety, disconnect the pump from the power supply.
Danger!
Do not pump contaminated fluids!
Take special care to ensure that there is no contaminant in the fluid to be
pumped.
Install a strainer on the suction pipe.
Danger!
Damaged attachments and accessories can lead to personal injury and material
damage!
Suction and pressure pipes must not be kinked, twisted or stretched.
Attachments and accessories must be checked for wear, splits or other damage at
all times.
Damaged attachments and accessories must be replaced immediately.
With reference to the period of use, please note the details in ZH 1/A45.4.2 or DIN
20066 Part 5.3.2.
Caution!
Spilled fuel can result in environmental damage!
Local and country rules and regulations relating to domestic water supplies and
fuel storage must be obeyed.
3. Installation
• If the diesel pump is to be locally mounted 4 bolts, diameter less than 6 mm (not
included) are required.
• When installing the pump, ensure that it is mounted on a stable surface. Select a
secure location (protected from water spray, damage and theft).
• If the pump is not secured with bolts, it must be operated on a firm, level and dry
base.

Operating Instructions MOBIFIxx · MOBIMAxx
• First, remove the plastic plugs from the suction and discharge junctions.
• Connect hoses to the suction and delivery connectors. Attach a strainer to the end
of the suction hose.
• Attach the nozzle valve to the delivery hose.
• Connect the red connecting clamp to the positive-, and the black connecting
clamp to the negative-pole of the power supply. Ensure that the connecting
clamps are securely fixed.
• The pump is now ready for operation.
Note
Ensure cleanliness during installation, and that all accessories/attachments are
correctly connected to the pump housing.
Use suitable sealing and jointing material (e.g., Teflon tape).
3.1 Installing the Siphon Protection
• Remove the bolt screwed into the side of the pump housing, together with the seal
(see Fig. 3-1).
• Screw into the same thread the supplied threaded nozzle with the new seal (see
Fig. 3-2).
• Connect the hose to the threaded nozzle and feed it into the tank.
Note
Ensure when installing the siphon protection system that the end of the hose is not
immersed in the fluid. If it is, the siphon protection system will not work!

4. Operation
Check the diesel pump and installed accessories for completeness and damage.
Replace any damaged components immediately. Never use a pump if damaged.
Check the suction filter for damage each time the tank is filled/emptied and replace it
if damaged. Never operate the pump without the suction filter, because the pump will
not be protected against contamination by foreign bodies.
• Suspend the suction hose in the tank to be emptied.
Note
To ensure that the tank can be completely emptied, the suction hose must reach to
the bottom of the tank.
• Position the nozzle valve in the container to be filled.
• Operate the rocker switch to switch on the pump.
Caution!
Never operate the pump without delivery fluid. There is a danger of your diesel pump
being damaged if operated dry.
• Adjust the nozzle valve lever pressure according to the delivery rate required, or
lock it in position for constant flow (only applicable to automatic control valve, not
included in standard delivery).

Operating Instructions MOBIFIxx · MOBIMAxx
Caution!
Tank pump does not switch off automatically, therefore when filling, never leave the
pump running without supervision.
• To finish a pumping session, release the nozzle valve control lever.
• Operate the rocker switch to switch off the pump.
• Position the nozzle valve so that no diesel fuel can pollute the environment.
Caution!
Danger of product damage
The power source must be the correct voltage for the pump type.
5. Maintenance
The diesel pump is very easy to maintain and service.
Due to the operator responsibilities according to § 19i WHG (German rules), the
following components must be regularly checked and replaced as necessary, to
minimise the possibility of environmental or equipment damage, or personal injury:
• Pump housing (7)
• Delivery hose
• Nozzle valve
6. Servicing
6.1 Replacing Worn Blades
Blade replacement will be necessary only in exceptional circumstances.
• Undo the screws (17).
• Remove the pump housing (7) from the motor (12).
• Replace the worn blades (10) with new Original FMT spare parts, ensure that
they are correctly located.
• Refit the pump housing (7) and secure it with the screws (17).
6.2 Changing the Fuse
• Undo the screws (16).
• Remove the motor cover (23).
• Pull the defective fuse (14) out of the fuse holder (22) and replace it with a new
