Preinstallation Checklist

1. 

Inspect your 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 regarding 

installation and use.  Retain materials for future reference.

1. 

Make sure pump connection contains a ground terminal.

  The power cord 

on all Zoeller Grinder Pumps contains a green conductor for grounding 
to help protect you against the possibility 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 breakers.  An independent power circuit is recommended, 

sized according to the National Electrical Code, for the current shown 
on the grinder pump nameplate.

4. 

For your protection, always disconnect the power source to the grinder 
pump before handling. 

 All grinder pumps must be properly grounded 

and wired in accordance with the “National Electrical Codes” and all 

local codes and ordinances.

5. Installation of electrical hardware and checking of control panels 

and circuits should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

6.  Risk of electrical shock - These pumps have not been investigated for 

use in swimming pool areas.

7. Prop65 Warning for California residents: 

 

: Cancer and  Reproductive Harm- 

        www.P65Warning.ca.gov.

1.

 Make sure the power source

 is capable of handling the electrical 

requirements of the grinder pump, as indicated on the nameplate

.

2. 

A disconnect switch should be installed ahead of the pump.

3.  The Grinder pumps are operated by control panels with variable level 

float control switches.  It is the responsibility of the installing party to 

see that float 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 recommended to use rigid pipe and fittings and 

the pit be 24" in diameter for simplex systems and 36" in diameter 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 

level float control switches.  Repair and service, other than cutter 

assembly maintenance, should be performed by Zoeller authorized 

service stations only.

5. Maximum  operating  temperature  must  not  exceed  130  °F,

 

(54 °C).

6.

  Pump and float switch electrical connections must be permanently installed, 

operational and protected from submergence.

7.

  Junction box conduit must be installed with watertight connection.  Zoeller 

junction boxes include a UL Listed potting kit for sealing the conduit.  
Failure to properly install this sealant material could void warranty.

Do not attempt to turn star cutter located on 
bottom of the unit with fingers. 

Use  a  wrench   

when checking or removing star cutter.
