VOLUTE CASE/GRINDING RING.
PUMP CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
DANGER:
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution. May result in
serious injury or death or fire hazard. Installer must disconnect all
electrical sources prior to installation, handling or servicing. Only
qualified personnel may install this system. NFPA 70: National
Electric Code® (NEC) or local codes must be followed. System
must be properly grounded according to NEC. Do not lift pump by
power cord.
DANGER:
Biohazard Risk. Once wastewater source has been
connected to system, biohazard risk exists. Installer(s) and/or
service personnel must use proper personal protective equipment
and follow handling procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030
when handling equipment after wastewater source has been
connected to system.
DANGER:
Risk of Asphyxiation. Installer(s) and/or service
personnel must use proper personal protective equipment and
follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 or OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Pump
may be installed in a location classified as a confined space.
DANGER:
Risk of Fire or Explosion. Do not smoke or use open
flames in or around this system. MGPD200 systems are not
intended for use in hazardous locations per NFPA 70: National
Electric Code. Do not pump flammable liquids.
DANGER:
Cutting Risk. Risk of serious cutting or amputation
exists. Disconnect all power sources prior to servicing pump or
grinding mechanism. Pump may start without warning. Grinding
mechanism is extremely sharp. Use caution when handling
grinder mechanism.
DO NOT
modify the cord strain relief. When wiring to a system
control, connect the pump ground lead to the system ground.
DO NOT
run the pump dry. Dry running can overheat the pump
(causing burns to anyone handling it) and will void the warranty.
The pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns, allow it to cool for 30
minutes after shutdown before handling it.
Submersible grinder pumps are not approved for use in swimming
pools, recreational water installations, decorative fountains or
any installation where human contact with the pumped fluid is
common. This specialized pump is designed to incorporate a
grinding mechanism to remove wastewater particulate and pump
the resulting slurry from a residential structure to a collection
system.
Examine all lifting devices, rope or chain for damage before and
after each lift.
DO NOT
exceed manufacturers recommendation for maximum
performance, as this could cause the motor to overheat.
Secure the pump in its operating position so it cannot tip over, fall
or slide.
DO NOT
pump without safety devices in place.
Basin must be vented in accordance with the local plumbing
codes.
INSPECTING PUMP
Before making any piping or electrical connections,
check the pump for shipping damage or cracks.
Using a flat screwdriver placed in the slot on the
shaft end, turn shaft and impellers to be sure they
are free.
DO NOT TURN IMPELLER WITH FINGERS AS
EDGES ARE SHARP.
n
CAUTION! NEVER WORK ON THE UNIT WITHOUT
DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD.
PUMP OPERATIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, install only on a GFCI
protected circuit. See pump nameplate for electrical ratings.
To start the pump, perform the following steps in order:
1. When grinder pump is single phase, no rotation check
is necessary. Correct rotation is counter-clockwise.
2. Run water into sump until motor is covered.
3. Open gate valve in discharge line.
4. Turn pump on. If pump runs and sump liquid does not pump
down, stop pump and close discharge gate valve. Lift pump
until sealing flange is open to vent off trapped air. Lower
pump, open discharge valve, and start the pump again.
n
CAUTION! POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT MINIMUM 5 GPM CAPACITY. RUNNING PUMP AT
SHUT-OFF CONDITION OR WITH GATE VALVE CLOSED CAN RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMPING STATOR BOOT AND ROTOR.
5. Level control should be set so that pump turns off when level
is about 2 inches above inlet of pump suction and turns on
when level is about 2 inches above motor.
6. If problems occur, check power source.
Make sure a separate supply line is available.
Verify voltage supply.
7. Check resistance of windings. If not within guidelines, return
pump to authorized factory service center.
As the motors are oil filled, no lubrication or other maintenance
is required. Pump should be checked every quarter for corrosion
and wear.
POWER SUPPLY
The D1C20-21 Series grinder pump should be connected only to
a 230 volt, single phase, 60 Hz power source. The pump will draw
approximately 9.1 amperes at minimum flow and 15.0 full load
amperes. Locked rotor current is 57 amperes. The pump must be
connected to a grounded power socket.
DO NOT
cut off the ground
pin from the power cord plug.
POWER CORD
A 20 foot power cord is attached to the grinder pump via three
insulated quick-disconnect terminals. To replace a cord simply
unscrew (turn counterclockwise) cord nut from top of motor
housing. Once cord nut is completely loosened from housing,
gently pull cord upward away from housing. While cord is being
