Do not run dry.
The Uniform Plumbing Code® states that sewage systems
shall have an audio and visual alarm that signals a
malfunction of the system, to reduce the potential for
property damage.
Do not position the pump float directly under the inlet from
drain tile or in the direct path of any incoming water.
Do not introduce any consumer item that is not toilet paper
into a non-grinder (dewatering/effluent or sewage) pump/
pump system. This includes, but is not limited to the
following: feminine products, wipes, towels, towelettes, dental
floss, swabs, pads, etc. Items such as these put the pump
under undo strain and can result in pump/pump system
failure. Additionally, it creates conditions for discharge line
blockage.
Keep pump upright.
Do not allow the pump to freeze.
At no time shall the pump be stored within an incomplete wet
basin. The pump shall not be placed into the basin until it can
be fully operational.

nameplate provides a record of specific pump information.
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
basin. The pump shall not be placed into the basin until it can
be fully operational.
Do not allow the pump to freeze.
XLE-Series 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 impellers manually rotated once a month to lubricate
the seals.
Installed
pumps that are idle for greater than one month should
have impellers manually operated through the breaker panel once
a month to lubricate the seals.
Pumps that are idle in a wet basin
must be removed.
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.
XLE-Series pumps are to be used for handling septic tank
effluent, sewage, and drain (storm) water.
Provide pump serial number in all correspondence and
reports.
Pumps are certified by CSA Group to CSA
®
, UL
®
, and FM
standards for use in hazardous locations with division
classification of Class 1, Division 1, Groups C and D; or as
zone classified Class 1, Zone 1, and Groups IIA and IIB.
Pumps must be serviced at a qualified hazardous motor
enclosure repair facility approved by Liberty Pumps. Any
unauthorized field repairs void warranty and hazardous
location ratings. Contact Liberty Pumps at 1-800-543-2550
to locate the closest authorized repair facility.
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.
