Do not position the pump float directly under the inlet from
drain tile or in the direct path of any incoming water.
Any PRG-Series system discharge can be reduced to 1-1/4”.
Keep pump upright.
At no time should the pump be stored within an incomplete
wet pit. The pump should not be placed into the pit until it
can be fully operational.
Do not allow the pump to freeze.
Inspection and Storage
Initial Inspection
The pump should be immediately inspected for damage that may
have occurred in shipment.
1.
Visually check the pump and any spare parts for damage.
2.
Check for damaged electrical wires, especially where they exit
the motor housing.
Contact Liberty Pumps customer service to report any damage or
shortage of parts.
Storage Before Use
Protect the power and control cords from the environment.
Unprotected power and control (switch) cords can allow water
to wick through ends into pump or switch housings, causing
surroundings to become energized.
At no time shall the pump be stored within an incomplete wet
pit. The pump shall not be placed into the pit until it can be
fully operational.
Do not allow the pump to freeze.
Pumps are shipped from the factory ready for installation and use.
Hold the pump in storage if the pump station is not complete.
If storage is necessary, the pump should remain in its shipping
container. It should be stored in a warehouse or storage shed that
has a clean, dry temperature-stable environment where the pump
and its container are covered to protect it from water, dirt,
vibration, etc. The cord ends must be protected against moisture.
Uninstalled
pumps that are idle for greater than three months
should have cutters and impellers manually rotated once a month
to lubricate the seals.
Installed
pumps that are idle for greater than one month should
have cutters and impellers manually operated through the breaker
panel once a month to lubricate the seals.
For automatic models
,
turn off the breaker, unplug the piggyback switch, and plug the
pump directly into receptacle. Turn the breaker on for 30 seconds,
then turn the breaker off. Plug the piggyback switch back in. Refer

General Information
Before installation, read these instructions carefully.
Each pump is individually factory tested to ensure
proper performance. Closely following these
instructions will eliminate potential operating
problems, assuring years of trouble-free service.
PRG-Series pumps are to be used for handling
septic tank effluent, sewage, and drain (storm)
water.
Provide pump serial number in all correspondence.
Pumps are CSA certified to CSA and UL®
standards.
Pumps must be serviced at a qualified repair facility
approved by Liberty Pumps. No repair work should
be carried out during the warranty period without
prior factory approval. Any unauthorized field
repairs void warranty. Contact Liberty Pumps at
1-800-543-2550 to locate the closest authorized
service center.
Operating Constraints
It is extremely important to verify that the pump
has been sized correctly for the intended
installation. The operating point of the pump must
lie within the acceptable range as outlined by the
applicable Liberty Pumps performance chart.
Operating the pump outside of the recommended
range can invalidate the CSA Certification of the
pump and can also cause damage and premature
failure. Operating outside of the recommended
range can cause the pump to exceed its rated
nameplate amp draw, which will void the pump
certification. It can also cause motor overheating,
cavitation, excessive vibration, clogging, and poor
energy efficiency.
