General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product or its
power cord may
contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
1. Know the pump application,
limitations and potential hazards.
Do not use to
pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable
and/or explosive atmospheres. Use to
pump only with liquids compatible with
pump components materials. Failure
to follow this warning can result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Only qualified personnel should
install, operate and repair this pump.
3. Make certain that the power source
conforms to the requirement of the
equipment.
Disconnect power
before servicing. If
the power disconnect is out of sight,
lock in the open position and tag it
to prevent unexpected application of
power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock!
4. Release all pressure within the
system before servicing any
component.
5. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
This pump contains
dielectric motor oil
for motor heat transfer. Care should be
taken when disposing of this oil. Do
not use this pump in ponds or fountains
because the motor oil can be harmful to
aquatic life.
6. Check your local codes before installing.
You must comply with local rules.
Figure 1
7. Vent any sewage or septic tank
according to local codes.
8. Always keep the shut-off valve
completely open when the system
is in operation (unless advised
otherwise by the proper authorities).
Before removing the pump form the
basin, be sure to close the shut-off
valve. (This prevents back-flow from
the pressure sewer.)
9. Keep the control panel locked or
confined to prevent unauthorized
access to it.
10. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
11. Periodically inspect the pump
and system components. Perform
maintenance as required. If the
pump is idle for long periods
of time, add water to the basin
occasionally to start the pump.
REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes! Attach it to this manual or file it for safekeeping.

Operating Instructions
2 HP Grinder Pumps
12. Provide a means of pressure relief
for pumps whose discharge line can
be shutoff or obstructed.
13. Do not install the pump in any
location classified as hazardous by
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-1984.
14. Secure the pump in its operating
position so it cannot tip over, fall or
slide. Install this pump in the vertical
position only.
15. Make sure lifting handles are securely
fastened each time before lifting. Do
not operate pump without safety
devices in place. Always replace safety
devices that have been removed
during service or repair. DO NOT LIFT
PUMP BY POWER CORD.
16. Do not run the pump dry. Dry
running can overheat the pump and
will void the warranty.
17. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pumps.
This pump is designed to
handle materials that could
cause illness or disease through
direct exposure. Wear and
use protective clothing when
working on the pump or piping.
b. Do not wear loose clothing that
may become entangled in the
impeller or other moving parts.
c. Keep clear of suction and
discharge openings. DO NOT
insert fingers in the pump with
power connected.
d. Keep work are clean,
uncluttered and properly
lighted: replace all unused tools
and equipment.
e. Keep visitors a safe distance
from the work area. Make
workshop childproof with
padlocks, master switches, and
by removing starter keys.
18. A qualified electrician should
perform all wiring of this pump.
When wiring an electrically driven
pump such as this, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the most recent National Electric
Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of Electric Shock!
Never connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal!
This unit is not
designed for
application involving salt water or brine.
Use with salt water or brine will void
warranty.
Installation
This pump may be installed on a guiderail lift-out system for ease of inspection
and service. Guide-rails allow removal
of the pump without disturbing the
piping and eliminates the need to enter
the basin. If installed with a guide-rail
system, place the pump opposite the
influent opening to prevent stagnant
areas where solids can settle.
Install the pump on a hard, level surface.
Never place the pump directly on earth,
clay or gravel surfaces. The basin must be
at least 18” in diameter and 30” deep.
The discharge pipe must not be smaller
than the pump discharge.
The motor is provided with a thermal
overload switch (Single Phase Pump
Motors Only). If the motor overloads
or overheats for any reason, the switch
opens, stopping the motor. As soon as the
motor cools to normal temperature, the
switch automatically closes and restarts the
motor. On 3-Phase pumps, the installer
must provide the Motor Protection. In
accordance with the National Electric
Code, all 3-phase pumps must be
installed with magnetic starters having
3 leg overload protection. For duplex
installations, both pump motors must
have separate overload protection.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, start
a fire or kill. When installing, operating or
servicing this pump, follow electrical safety
instructions below. Only trained service
personnel should install or service this pump.

1. Do not splice the power cord.
2. Do not handle or service this pump
while it is connected to the power
supply.
3. Do not operate the pump unless it is
properly grounded. Connect the pump
according to all applicable codes.
4. Incorrect voltage can cause a fire
or seriously damage the motor and
voids the warranty. Make sure that
the frequency and voltage shown
on the nameplate corresponds to
the frequency and voltage of the
electrical supply.
5. Connect the pump to its own
circuit with nothing else on the
circuit. See Chart 1 for pump motor
specifications. See Figure 2 for wiring
diagram. Use a Control Panel sized
to match the pump. Refer to Control
Panel installation instructions for
wiring connections information.
6. The pump rotation must be
clockwise as viewed from the top of
the pump. If a three-phase unit runs
backwards, interchange two of the
three power supply wires to reverse
the motor’s direction of rotation.
7. Install the pump in accordance with
all electrical codes that apply. Install
a fused disconnect switch or circuit
breaker in accordance with local
codes.
Risk of electrical
supplied with a grounding conductor on the
power cord. The grounding conductor is the
GREEN lead. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, be certain the ground conductor
is connected in the control box to the
grounding bar, which in connected to a
good suitable ground. The pump is not safe
to operate unless it is properly grounded.

Operating Instructions
The double seal grinder pumps contain
an electrode for detecting water within
the unit. The electrode is housed within
the seal chamber, isolated from the
motor chamber by a mechanical shaft
seal. If the electrode detects water
within the oil-filled housing, it will close
the circuit to the alarm light in the
control panel, indicating the motor must
be serviced before the upper mechanical
shaft seal fails. The BLUE conductor is
connected to the seal leak probe.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for model
specific wiring directions (See Figure 2).
Control Panel and
Level Sensing
BAGP1 & BADSGP1 grinder pumps
have internal start and run capacitors.
No control panel is required for
operating the pump. An alarm box is
recommended for high water alarm.
See Chart 2 for starting component
specifications per model.
BARDSGP1 and BAHGP2 models require
control boxes containing properly sized
start and run capacitors. Single-phase
models require a Single-Phase Control
Box with starting components equal to
specifications listed in Chart 2.
The three-phase models require a ThreePhase Control Box with circuit breaker
and overload heaters per the chart.
Intrinsically safe type float controls are
recommended for all applications. An
intrinsically safe control panel relay will
limit the current and voltage to the level
controls. A control panel can be supplied
with this type of circuitry.
Recommended level sensing settings:
1. The lower “turn-off” control should
be set so the pump stops with the
liquid level at the top of the motor
housing.
2. The upper “turn-on” control should
be set approximately 8” above the
“turn-off” control. This should limit
the number of pump starts to not
exceed 10 starts per hour.
3. The “lag-on” control for duplex
operation should be set 4” above
the “turn-on” control.
4. The “alarm” control is set 10” above
the “turn-on” control.
5. No control should be set above the
inlet pipe.
