1.  Zoeller Progressing Cavity Grinder Pumps are designed for grind ing 

and pumping sanitary sewage from sub mers ible lift stations.  The 
pump is in tend ed to grind and pump reasonable quan ti ties of items 
normally found in sanitary sewage applications.

2.  Zoeller 810 and 815 Progressing Cavity Grinder Pumps can be 

installed in new applications or as a direct replacement for any grinder 
application of like size and capacity. Some rail system retrofi t kits are 
available.

3.  The 810 and 815 can be installed in a Prepackaged Job Ready System 

or may be used in a Field Assembled basin package. Page 5 shows 
a couple of the Pre pack aged Systems. Field Assembled Systems are 
dis cussed on page 3.

4.  Zoeller 810 and 815 Grinder Pumps can be retrofi tted to ex ist ing 

positive displacement pump installations.

Applications

Preinstallation Checklist

1.

 Inspect your progressing cavity grinder pump.

 If the unit has been 

damaged in shipment, contact your dealer before installing. 

Do Not

 

remove the test plug in the cover nor the motor housing.

2.

  Carefully read all literature

 to familiarize yourself with details re gard ing 

in stal la tion and use. Retain materials for future reference.

1.

  Make sure pump connection con tains a ground ter mi nal.

 The power 

cord on all Zoeller Progressing Cavity Grind er Pumps con tains a green 
con duc tor for grounding to help protect you against the pos si bil i ty of 
electric shock.

2. 

Make certain the electrical service is within reach of the power 
supply cord

.

3.

 Make sure any panels and branch circuits are equipped

 with 

proper size fuses and circuit break ers. An in de pen dent pow er circuit is 
rec om mend ed, sized ac cord ing to the National Elec tri cal Code, for the 
current shown on the grinder pump name plate.

4.

 For your protection, always dis con nect the pow er source to the 

grinder pump before han dling.

 All grinder pumps must be prop er ly 

ground ed and wired in ac cor dance with the “Na tion al Elec tri cal Codes” 
and all local codes and ordinances.

5. Installation of electrical hardware and checking of control pan 

els 

and circuits should be performed by a qualifi ed  li censed electrician.

6. Risk of electrical shock - These pumps have not been in ves ti gat ed for 

use in swimming pool areas.

7. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains 

chemicals known to the state of California to cause can cer and birth 
defects or other reproductive harm.

1.

 Make sure the power source is capable of handling the 

electrical re quire ments of the grinder pump, as indicated on the 
nameplate.

2.

 A dis con nect switch should be installed ahead of the pump.

3. The progressing cavity grinder pumps are operated by variable level 

fl oat control switches. It is the re spon si bil i ty of the in stall ing party to 
see that fl oat control switches will not hang up on the grinder pump 
or other pit peculiarities and are secured so that the grinder pump will 
shut off. It is rec om mend ed to use rigid pipe and fi ttings and the pit be 
at least 24" in diameter for simplex sys tems and 36" in di am e ter for 
duplex systems or larger.

4.  Grinder installations should be checked yearly for debris and/or build up 

which may interfere with the “ON” or “OFF” positions of variable lev el 
fl oat control switches. Repair and service, other than cutter as sem bly 
main te nance, should be per formed by Zoeller En gi neered Products 
au tho rized service stations only.

5. Maximum operating tem 

per a ture must not ex 

ceed 130°F,

(54°C).

6. 

Do not operate an unsubmerged progressing cavity pump. 

Dry pump 

operation may damage the hydraulic stator due to lack of lubrication. 

Do not run dry.

 

7. 

To ensure proper pump operation, a swing or fl apper style check 
valve must be installed in the pump discharge line. A faulty or 
non-functional check valve when combined with a pressure sewer 
may prevent the pump from starting.

Do not attempt to turn star cutter lo cat ed on 

bottom of the unit with fi ngers.

 Use a wrench when check ing 

or re mov ing star cutter.

SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF CAUTIONS

SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF WARNINGS

 Progressing cavity grinder pumps are designed 

for pressure sewer applications. A UL listed and CSA certifi ed  pres-
sure relief valve must be installed in the system to prevent excessive 
pressure buildup.
