Maintenance

 

Always disconnect pump (macerator) from power source 

before handling or making any adjustments. Fatal electrical 

shock could occur.

  

The macerator is designed such that every component can easily 

be serviced or replaced as necessary. Replacement parts can be 

ordered at www.LibertyPumps.com/Service/Replacement-Parts/.
The macerator is designed with a removable access cover, making 

the unit serviceable without removing the macerating unit from 

the toilet or disconnecting any plumbing.

 Cleaning

All standard cleaners can be used just as with a standard 

conventional toilet. The exterior of the macerating unit may be 

cleaned with a damp cloth and normal household cleaners. Never 

spray or dump water or chemicals directly on the unit.

 Decorative Covers

The right cover can be removed by pulling it horizontally away 

from the macerator and then lifting vertically. The left cover is 

secured and positioned by two mating posts on the main cover.

 Discharge and Vent Flanges

Both the discharge and vent 

flanges are fastened to the main 

cover and can be removed by 

unscrewing the four fasteners 

and pulling the flange away from 

the main cover.

 Toilet Sealing Ring

The seal between the toilet and 

the macerator consists of a rubber 

ring connected to the macerator 

into which the toilet slides. The 

rubber ring stretches and forms a 

seal around the discharge hub of 

the toilet. This rubber ring is 

replaceable by unclipping the 

plastic retainer and then pulling 

the ring outward. Installation is 

reversed, first slide the rubber ring 

onto the macerator, followed by 

the retaining ring.

 Check Valve

The discharge flange has an integrated check valve. The valve is 

held in place by a support backing plate that is also connected to 

the discharge hose. To access the check valve, first remove the 

discharge flange from the main cover by removing 4 screws. Then 

remove the hose, followed by the two screws. The hose nipple can 

then be separated from the flange by pulling it outward. The 

check valve snaps onto the hose nipple.
When reinstalling, the hinge of the check valve must be aligned 

with the “notch” in the hose nipple or backing plate. After 

installation of the hose nipple, confirm the check valve opens 

completely.

 Access Cover

The access cover is secured to the main cover with five fasteners. If 

required, use the 3/16” Allen wrench supplied to loosen the 

fasteners. Once the screws have been removed, the access cover 

can be lifted upward. Some manipulation might be necessary if 

the macerator is located directly under the toilet reservoir tank.

Once the access cover is removed, the power cartridge can be slid 

toward the opening by grasping the handle of the basket and 

pulling to the right toward the opening. In some instances, debris 

might be caught between the tank and the basket so some 

manipulation might be required.
With the power cartridge fully slid over, the cutters should be in 

view at the center of the basket. Any obstruction or object can be 

removed at this point. The cutters are very sharp and extreme 

caution should be used.

 Interconnect Hose

A hose connects the discharge of the motor cartridge (pump) to 

the discharge flange. To remove this hose, follow the procedure 

Discharge and Vent Flanges and Accessibility to Motorized 

Cartridge. Both ends of the hose are secured with clamps.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The hinge of the 
check valve must 
be aligned with 
the notch in the 
hose nipple.

Once the access cover is removed, 

pull the power cartridge towards 

opening
