Routine Maintenance; Maintenance; Dismantling The Pump - E-Tech EG Instrucciones De Uso

Never take the pump out of the water while the pump
is still operating.
Avoid running dry.
Construction with float switch: the float switch
connected directly to the pump controls starting and
stopping.
Check that the float switch is free from any obstacle.
Construction without float switch: start the pump
only if fully immersed in the liquid to be raised.
The Single-phase motor will stop if operation is
prolonged with water at a temperature above 35 °C.
When the windings cool down, the thermal protector
enables restarting.
Relief valve for EGN, EGT, EGF: the pump is fitted
to a relief valve for air release around the impeller
granting a proper pump priming also after long
standstill periods.
7.3 Switch off of the pump
The appliance must be switch off every time
there are faults. (see troubleshooting).
The product is designed for a continuous duty, the
switch off is performed by disconnecting the power
supply by means the expected disconnecting devi-
ces. (see paragraph "6.8 Electrical connection").

8 MAINTENANCE

Before any operations it's necessary to disconnect
the power supply.
If required ask to an electrician or to an expert techni-
cian.
Every maintenance operations, cleaning or
reparation executed with the electrical system
under voltage, it could cause serious injuries
to people.
A possible replacement of the cable or the level
switch must be carried out by an authorised
Calpeda service workshop.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
In case of extraordinary maintenance, or maintenan-
ce operations that require part-removing, the opera-
tor must be a qualified technician able to read sche-
mes and drawings.
It is suggest to register all maintenance operation
executed.
i
During maintenance keep particular attention
in order to avoid the introduction of small
external parts, that could compromise the
device safety.
It is forbidden to execute any operations with
the direct use of hands. Use water-resistant,
anti-cut gloves to disassemble and clean the
filter or in other particular cases.
i
During maintenance operations external
personnel is not allowed.
ED, EG Rev. 3 - Operating Instructions

8.1 Routine maintenance

Before every maintenance operations
disconnect the power supply and make
sure that the device could not accidentally
operate.
The pump may have been immersed in
hazardous substances
emanating toxic gases, or may be located
in an environment which is toxic due to
other reasons; make sure all necessary
precautionary measures are taken to avoid
accidents.
Any pumps that require inspection/repair must be
drained and carefully cleaned inside and outside
before dispatch/submission.
Hose down all accessible parts with a jet of water.
If there is a risk of freezing, take the pump out of the
water and leave in a dry place.
When used with muddy liquids, run the pump briefly
with clean water to remove all deposits immediately
after use or before a period of inactivity.
Check periodically that the relief valve item 14.80 is
not clogged by impurities. If required, remove the
screws 14.24 and the fixing ring 14.22.
8.2 Dismantling the system
Close the suction and delivery gate valves and
drain the pump casing before dismantling the pump.

8.3. Dismantling the pump

For disassembly and reassembly, refer to the cross-
section drawing (paragraph 12.2 Annexes).
The pump function can be impaired by erroneous
procedure or tampering with internal parts.
For EGN, EGT, EGF
To inspect the impeller (28.00), to clean the internal
parts and to check whether the impeller turns freely
when moved by hand, remove the screws (15.70
EGN) or strainer (15.50 EGN), the screws (14.24)
pump casing (14.00).
To dismantle the impeller remove the nut (28.04).
Others parts should not be dismantled.
For ED, EDV.
To inspect the impeller (28.00), to clean the internal
parts and to check whether the impeller turns freely
when moved by hand, remove the nuts or the screws
(12.20) and casing cover (12.00).
To dismantle the impeller remove the nut (28.04).
