NG,NGL,NGX Rev. 4 - Operating Instructions
Before every maintenance operations disconnect the
power supply and make sure that the device could not
accidentally operate.
When the pump remains inactive it must be emptied com-
pletely if there is a risk of freezing (fig. 6).
Before restarting the unit, check that the shaft is not jammed
and fill the pump casing completely with liquid.
8.2 Dismantling the system
Close the suction and delivery gate valves and drain the pump
casing before dismantling the pump.

9. DISPOSAL

OFF
The final disposal of the device must be done by specialized
company.
Make sure the specialized company follows the classification
of the material parts for the separation.
Observe the local regulations and dispose the device accor-
dingly with the international rules for environment protection.

10 SPARE PARTS

10.1 Spare-parts request
When ordering spare parts, please quote their designation,
position number in the cross section drawing and rated data
from the pump name plate (type, date and serial number).
The spare parts request shall be sent to CALPEDA S.p.A. by
phone, fax, e-mail.
Changes reserved.
POSSIBLE REMEDIES
1a) Check that the mains frequency and voltage are suitable.
1b) Connect the power supply cable correctly. Check the setting of the
thermal overload protection.
1c) Check the power supply and make sure that the pump shaft is
turning freely. Check the setting of the thermal overload protection.
1d) Replace the fuses, check points a) and c)
1e) See "Blocked pump" instruction booklet
1f) Repair or replace the engine.
2a) Unblock the pump by using a screw driver to turn the relevant notch
on the back of the shaft.
2b) Remove any solid foreign bodies inside the impeller
2c) Replace the bearings.
3a) Release the air from the pump using the delivery control valve.
3b) Check which part is not tight and seal the connection.
3c) Clean or replace the bottom valve and use a suitable suction pipe .
3d) Clean the filter, if necessary, replace it . See point 2b) also.
4a) Use pipes and accessories suitable for the specific application
4b) Clean the impeller and install a suction filter
4c) Replace the impeller
4d) Replace the impeller and the pump casing
4e) Perform the opening and closing manoeuvres through the feeder
gate
4f) The pump is unsuitable
4g) Invert the electrical connections in the terminal board
5a) Replace the bearings
5b) Check that the mains voltage is right
In cases 6a), 6b) and 6c), replace the seal
6a) Make sure that the pump casing is full of liquid and that all the air has
been expelled.
6b) Install a suction filter and use a seal suited to the characteristics of
the liquid being pumped.
6c) Choose a seal with characteristics suitable for the specific application
6d) Wait for the seal to adjust to the rotation of the shaft. If the problem
persists, see points 6a), 6b) or 6c).
