LowPro41LP Low Profile Sewage System

Models

LowPro41LP 4/10 HP 115V

1. General Information

Before installation, read the following instructions carefully. Each Liberty pump is individually factory tested to insure proper performance. Closely following these instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, assuring years of trouble-free service.

 Risk of electric shock – The pump power cord is equipped with a grounding conductor and grounding-type 3-prong plug. To

reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a 115V properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. All electrical circuitry should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes or ordinances. These pumps are not to be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National

Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

 Installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code and all applicable local codes.  Installation and servicing is to be conducted by qualified personnel.

 Do not use these pumps in water over 140 F.  The Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) 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.

2. Precautions/Pre-Installation

3. Installation

1. Inspect all materials for shipping damage and to ensure that all parts have been received. Contact your dealer with any problems prior to installation.

2. Read all instructions and familiarize yourself with the unit's operation prior to proceeding with the installation. Read pump specifications to assure pump has adequate head performance prior to installation - See "Note" under pump specifications.

3. Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling or making

adjustments. The pump power cord is equipped with a grounding conductor and grounding-type 3-prong plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that the Sumpbox™ unit is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. This receptacle should be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). All electrical circuitry should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes or ordinances. Never remove the ground pin from the plug.

Never remove the ground pin from the plug.

4. Make certain that the outlet is within reach of the power supply cord. Never use an extension cord.

5. The power cords from the LowPro system are equipped with piggyback plugs and must be connected in series to operate automatically (see fig. 1).

6. Check to ensure that your power source is adequate to handle the pump amperage. Pump amperage can be found on the nameplate and/or the product literature. Ensure that the electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or breakers of the proper capacity.

7. It is recommended that a separate branch circuit be installed for the pump. Such a branch circuit should be sized in accordance with the NEC.

8. Each electrical outlet should be tested to ensure that a proper ground has been established. A UL listed circuit analyzer will indicate if the power, neutral, and ground wire are properly connected.

9. A qualified licensed electrician should install and test all electrical circuits.

10. All plumbing (waste and vent) must be installed to meet local plumbing codes. This unit must be properly vented. Automatic or mechanical plumbing vent devices must not be used. This pump is not to be installed in a location classified as hazardous in accordance with the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70.

11. Liquid temperature must not exceed 140F (60C).

12. Always disconnect the pump from the power source prior to removing or servicing.

1. The LowPro is shipped factory assembled; inspect tank, pump and accessories for shipping damage. Contact your dealer with any problems prior to installation

2. The tank installation location must be level. Position the tank in its final location and ensure that it is level. Use hydraulic cement or similar material for leveling the floor if necessary.

3. If installing walls or floor joists, use caution to ensure that nails, screws, or other sharp objects do not puncture the tank

when framing.

4. Determine the closest and most readily accessible locations to tie in the discharge and vent lines to existing lines. Take the necessary measurements and determine what plumbing fittings and pipes are needed.

5. An inlet for a 2" PVC drain line from additional fixtures (i.e. sink or shower) may be installed using the rubber pipe grommet (supplied). Determine the best location for the drain line to enter the tank making sure it is within the marked textured a reas of the pump chamber. See fig. 2. Do not drill below or outside of the textured areas. Make sure drain lines have adequate gravity flow to the system. If a shower is being used, elevate the shower to allow for proper trapping and drainage. Drill a 3" diameter

Fig. 2 Tank contains three textured areas acceptable

for installing rubber pipe grommet.

Installation outside of these areas may result

In damage to internal components.

hole and insert the grommet. Slide the 2" PVC drain line into the pipe grommet, lubricating the pipe if necessary to ease installation.

Note: If installing a washing machine, the preferred method would be to drain washer into a tub sink with a lint sock prior to the LowPro. Also, periodically remove access cover and clean lint and debris off of switch

6. NOTE: Threaded connections at tank - HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. Use Teflon tape as a thread sealant. Install a 2" PVC pipe to the connection labeled "Discharge". Attach the 2” check valve (Fig. 8, item 14) to the discharge pipe as close to the top of the tank as possible. Make sure that the arrows on the check valve are pointing up, away from the pump.

Do not reduce the discharge pipe size below 2".

7. Complete the discharge piping to the house waste line using a minimum number of turns. See "Note" under Pump Specifications for maximum head performance of the LowPro system.

8. Install a 2" vent pipe into the vent opening on the cover. Connect

the vent pipe to the house vent line or directly to the atmosphere.

Unit must be vented directly to the atmosphere in accordance with national and local plumbing codes. DO NOT use an automatic or mechanical vent device.

9. If you are not installing a finished floor above the LowPro tank system, skip steps 10 through 12, and resume installation at step 13.

10. The rough opening size required for installation using standard 2”X6” floor joists will vary depending on your actual installation and the orientation of the tank. The overall rough opening size needed to enclose the entire LowPro tank is 42” X 24½”.

11. Measure the finished flooring thickness and determine the number of closet flange spacers (Figure 8, item 17) needed to bring the closet flange up to the finish floor. See Figure 6.

12. Set the proper number of plastic closet flange spacers (as determined in step 11) onto the brass closet flange. The foam gasket material on the spacer(s) must be facing down. The spacer(s) will not be secured to the closet flange, so use care not to move them during the installation of the toilet.

13. Install the wax toilet bowl seal ring provided onto the toilet following the directions included with the toilet. Install the toilet onto the closet flange following the directions included with the toilet. Hook up the water line to the toilet. Turn the water on and fill the toilet tank. Test for leaks. Flush the toilet several times and allow the pump to cycle to ensure proper operation.

NOTE: The LowPro features an internal jet spray to help break down solids and reduce jamming. Due to limited water volumes per pump cycle on systems of this type, care must be taken to avoid flushing extreme amounts of toilet paper or any reinforced papers, paper towels, sanitary products and other foreign objects into the LowPro.

NOTE: The LowPro has a shut-off head

(maximum lift) of 19 feet. Actual maximum useable head to provide adequate flow is approximately 17.5 feet and may be less depending on amount of run and friction loss factors. Please consult factory for proper pump sizing.

4. Pump Specifications and Parts List

Refer to the diagram to adjust the float switch (5). The pump should engage at a waste depth of approximately 4.0” and pump down to around 3.0”. To adjust the float switch, remove the switch access cover (6) and lift the float switch (5) out of the tank. After adjusting to the lengths pictured above, replace the switch by placing the cord between the two bosses. Reattach the access cover to the tank.
