Rotor Replacement - Lega 6600 Guide D'instructions

Before the first use, start the pump to circulate hot water mixed with a mild detergent in the pipes. Then drain
the pipes by disconnecting them from their clamp-type couplings. Re-connect with care to prevent honey loss
or air inlet – as air could mix with honey creating an emulsion.
4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the pump ensure that:
1 The inlet/outlet sleeve position is such that liquid delivery is not likely to cause personal damage;
2 The trolley is positioned on a flat floor to guarantee machine stability also in consideration of possible light
vibration;
3 The suction pipe is immersed in the honey; the leading end (left empty for priming purposes) should be
kept as short as possible because
The pump should never run idle, not even for very short periods of time: this would irreparably damage
the rotor.
Given the viscosity and stickiness typical of honey, rotation might not occur even after power-on, especially
when a single-phase motor pump is used.
In this case, reverse the motor direction of rotation by moving the reverser lever in the opposite direction with
respect to the pre-set direction of rotation for a few seconds, then return to the pre-set position.
To allow this input current surge, the pump shaft is designed in such a way that the transmission pulley
mounted on the shaft can complete almost a full turn in the idle position.
Do not use the pump in automatic start systems unless the motor is protected by cut-out switches and
the electric system has been designed by skilled electricians.
The pump body and electric motor surfaces can reach temperatures up to 70°C
5.0 MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT AFTER STOPPING THE MACHINE AND
DISCONNECTING ALL ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
Maintenance may be required to correct faulty operation caused by:
1 Leaks from sealing parts;
2 Faulty operation caused by rotor breaks;
3 Worn-out driving belt
After work, the machine should be rinsed with warm water only and then wiped dry with a cotton cloth.
Do not leave honey in the pump for prolonged periods of time.
For practical and hygienic reasons, always rinse the pump after use.
If you expect not to have to use the machine for prolonged periods of time, check its mechanical parts'
efficiency and carry out any required inspection, replacement or servicing to ensure that the machine will be
ready to work the next time that it is started.
Before prolonged periods of inactivity, coat chrome-plated parts with a film of
paraffin oil and cover the machine with a tarpaulin.
