If you can blow down it, try pouring some coolant down it and try again. is it three phase? pump running wrong way? Hope this helps!

If the tank is full, check that there are no valves closed and that the pump is running the right way [simple things mean a lot ! ] These pumps are usually trouble free, so it has to be something simple As an aside, the pump fitted to the cooling system on my bandsaw, came from a clapped out washing machine. Still working after ten years or more. I
