®
Receiving & Installation
Receiving Inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be
inspected for damage or shortages.
If damage has occurred, le a claim
immediately with the company that
delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not
lose or misplace.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period
longer than six (6) months from the
date of purchase should be bench
tested prior to installation. A bench
test consists of, checking the impeller
to assure it is free turning and a run
test to assure the motor (and switch
if provided) operate properly. Do not
pump out of liquid.
Controls
PFG series grinders require a separate
approved pump control device or panel
for automatic operation. Be sure the
electrical speci cation of the control
selected properly match the electrical
speci cations of the pump.
Location
The grinder pump is designed to t in
basin or wetwell by using a slide rail
system.
IMPORTANT ! - A CLEARANCE
UNDER THE PUMP FOR
ENTRANCE OF SEWAGE SOLIDS
MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 3
INCHES TO A MAXIMUM OF 4.5
INCHES.
Submergence
The pump should always be operated in
the submerged condition. The minimum
sump liquid level should never be less
than above the pump’s volute (See Figure
1).

PFG 3, 5 & 7.5HP Submersible Grinder Pumps
Receiving & Installation
Installation
There are several methods of installing
grinder pumps. See contract plans and/
or speci cation: A slide rail in a package
system or concrete wet well is the most
common, which allows the pump(s)
to be installed or removed without
requiring personnel to enter the wet
well.
The sump or basin shall be sealed
and vented in accordance with local
plumbing codes. This pump is designed
to pump grinder or wastewater,
nonexplosive and noncorrosive liquids
and shall NOT be installed in locations
classi ed as hazardous in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric
Code (CEC). The pump should never be
installed in a trench, ditch, or hole with
a dirt bottom. The legs will sink into
the dirt and the suction will become
plugged.
The installation should be at a su cient
depth to ensure that all plumbing
is below the frost line. If this is not
feasible, remove the check valve and
size the basin to accommodate the
additional back ow volume.
Discharge Piping
Discharge piping should be as short
as possible and sized no smaller than
the pump discharge. Do not reduce
the discharge pipe size below that
which is provided on the pump. Both
a check valve and a shut-o valve are
recommended for each pump. The
check valve is used to prevent backow
into the sump. The shut-o valve is
used to manually stop system ow
during pump servicing.
Liquid Level Controls
The level control(s) should be mounted
on the discharge piping, a cable rack
or oat pole. The level control should
have adequate clearance so it cannot
hang up in it’s swing and that the pump
is completely submerged when the
level control is in the “O ” mode. By
adjusting the cord tether the control
level can be changed. One cycle of
operation should be observed, so that any
potential problems can be corrected.
It is recommended that the level control
oat should be set to insure that the liquid
in the sump never drops below the top of
the motor housing or a minimum level of
10 inches above the basin oor.
Electrical Connections
Power cable - The power cable mounted
to the pump must not be modied in any
way except for shortening to a specic
application. Any splice between the pump
and the control panel must be made in
accordance with the electric codes. It
is recommended that a junction box, if
used, be mounted outside the sump or be
of at a minimum Nema 4 construction if
located within the wet well. DO NOT USE
THE POWER CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.
Always rely upon a Certi ed Electrician for
installation.
Thermal Protection:
The normally closed (N/C) over
temperature sensor is embedded in the
motor windings and will detect excessive
heat in the event an overload condition
occurs. The thermal sensor will trip when
the windings become too hot and will
automatically reset when the pump
motor cools to a safe temperature. It is
recommended that the thermal sensor be
connected in series to an alarm device to
alert that an overtemperature condition
and/or motor starter coil to stop pump.
In the event of an overtemperature,
the source of this condition should be
determined and repaired immediately.
Thermal protection shall not be used as a
motor overload device. A separate motor
overload device must be provided in
accordance with NEC code.
WARNING! - DO NOT LET
THE PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF
AN OVERLOAD CONDITION
OCCURS !
If current through the temperature sensor
exceeds the values listed, an intermediate
control circuit relay must be used to
reduce the current or the sensor will not
work properly.
To detec any moisture present a normally
open (N/O) probe is installed in the seal
chamber. The probe should be connected
in series to an alarm device or motor
starter coil to alert the operator that
moisture has been detected. Check the
probe leads for continuity, (∞ resistance
= no moisture). Also check the junction
box and control panel for moisture
content as this may induce a false signal.
IF MOISTURE DETECTION OCCURRES,
MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE DONE TO
IDENTIFY AND REPAIR.

Installation & Service
Wire Size:
If longer power cable is required consult
a quali ed electrician for proper wire
size.
Pre-Operation
1. Check Voltage and Phase
Compare the voltage and phase
information stamped on the pump
name plate.
2. Check Pump Rotation - Improper
motor rotation can result in poor
pump performance and can damage
the motor and/or pump. Check
rotation on three phase units by
momentarily applying power and
observe the “kickback”.
Kickback should always be in a
counter-clockwise direction as
viewed from motor end or opposite
to impeller rotation. Incorrect rotation
for Single-Phase pumps is unlikely.
If the rotation is incorrect contact
factory.
3. Name Plate - Record the information
from the pump name plate to
drawing in front of manual for future
reference.
4. Insulation Test - An insulation (megger) test should be performed
on the motor. Before the pump is put
into service. The resistance values
(ohms) as well as the voltage (volts)
and current (amps) should be
recorded.
5. Pump-Down Test - Be sure pump has been properly wired, lowered into
the basin, sump or lift station, check
the system by lling with liquid and
allowing the pump to operate through
its pumping cycle. The time needed to
empty the system, or pump-down
time along with the volume of water,
should be recorded.
Maintenance
No lubrication or maintenance is required.
Perform the following checks when pump
is removed from operation or when pump
performance deteriorates:
a). Inspect motor chamber for oil level
and contamination.
b). Inspect impeller and body for
excessive build-up or clogging.
c). Inspect motor and bearings.
d). Inspect seal for wear or leakage.
Servicing
NOTE: Item numbers in ( ) refer to Figures
7 & 8.
Cooling Oil - Anytime the pump is
removed from operation, the cooling oil
in the motor housing should be checked
visually for oil level and contamination.
To check oil, set unit upright. Remove
pipe plug (30) from housing (8). With
a ashlight, visually inspect the oil in
housing (8) to make sure it is clean and
clear, light amber in color and free from
suspended particles. Milky white oil
indicates the presence of water. Oil level
should be just above the motor when
pump is in vertical position.
Oil Testing
• Drain oil into a clean, dry container by
placing pump on it’s side, remove pipe
plug (30), from housing (8).
• Check oil for contamination using an
oil tester with a range to 30 Kilovolts
breakdown.
• If oil is found to be clean and
uncontaminated (measuring above
15 KV. breakdown), rell the housing.
• If oil is found to be dirty or
contaminated (or measures below
15 KV. breakdown), the pump must
be carefully inspected for leaks at the
shaft seal, cable assembly, square ring
and pipe plug, before relling with oil.
Tolocate the leak, perform a pressure
test.
After leak is repaired, dispose of old oil
properly, and rell with new oil.
Pressure Test (If oil has been drained)
Remove pipe plug (30) from housing (8).
Apply pipe sealant to pressure gauge
assembly and tighten into hole. Pressurize
motor housing to 10 P.S.I. Use soap
solution around the sealed areas and
inspect joints for “air bubbles”.
If, after ve minutes, the pressure is still
holding constant, and no “bubbles” are
observed, slowly bleed the pressure and
remove the gauge assembly. Replace
oil. Leek must be located and repaired if
pressure does not hold.
Pressure Test (If oil has NOT been
drained) - Oil should be at normal level.
Remove pipe plug (30) from housing (8).
Apply pipe sealant to pressure gauge
assembly and tighten into hole. Pressurize
motor housing to 10 P.S.I. Use soap
solution around the sealed areas above the
oil level and inspect joints for “air bubbles”.
For sealed areas below oil level, leeks will
seep oil. If, after ve minutes, the pressure
is still holding constant, and no “bubbles” /
oil seepage is observed, slowly bleed the
pressure and remove the gauge assembly.
Replace oil. Leek must be located and
repaired if pressure does not hold.

Service
Pressure builds up extremely
fast, increase pressure by
“TAPPING” air nozzle. Too much
pressure will damage seal. DO
NOT exceed 10 P.S.I.
Seal Chamber - Set pump on its side with
ll plug (30) downward, remove plug (30)
and drain all oil from seal chamber. Apply
pipe sealant to pressure gauge assembly
and tighten into hole in intermediate
coupling (5). Pressurize seal chamber to
10 P.S.I. and check for leaks.
Oil Replacement:
Motor Housing - Drain all oil (if not
already done so) from motor housing
and dispose of properly per Local and
Environmental Standards.
Set pump upright and re ll with new
cooling oil, see “Cooling Oil” chart. Fill to
just above motor as an air space must
remain in the top of the motor housing to
compensate for oil expansion. Apply pipe
thread compound to threads of pipe plug
(30) then assemble to motor housing (8).
Seal Chamber - Drain all oil (if not already
done so) from seal chamber and dispose
of properly per Local and Environmental
Standards. Place pump on its side with
plug (30) upward, and re ll with new oil,
see “Cooling Oil” chart. Apply pipe thread
compond to threads of pipe plug (30) and
assemble to intermediate coupling (5).
DO NOT overll oil. Overlling
of housing with oil can create
excessive and dangerous hydraulic
pressure which can destroy the
pump and create a hazard.
Overlling oil voids warranty.
WARNING ! - Before any service
work is done, disconnect and
lock out electrical power to
pump.

Trouble Shooting Chart
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling inspections or repairs.
SymptomPossible Cause(s)Corrective Action
1. Poor electrical connection, blown fuse, tripped
breaker or other interruption of power;
improper power supply
2. Motor or switch inoperative (go to manual
Pump will not run
Pump will not turn o
Pump hums but doesn’t run
Pump delivers insu cient capacity
Pump cycles too frequently or runs periodically
when xtures are not in use
Pump shuts o and turns on independent of
switch, (trips thermal overload protector).
CAUTION! Pump may start unexpectedly.
Disconnect power supply.
Pump operates noisily or vibrates excessively

10. Pumprunning backwards
13. Piping attachments to building structure too
loose or rigid
1. Check all electrical connections for security.
Have electrician measure current in motor leads,
if current is within ± 20% of locked rotor Amps,
impeller is probably locked. If current is 0,
overload may be tripped. Remove power, allow
pump to cool, then re-check current.
2a. Reposition pump or clean basin as required to
provide adaquate clearance for oat
2b. Disconnect level control. Set ohmmeter for a
low rang, such as 100 ohms full scale and
connect to level control leads. Actuate level
control manually and check to see that
ohmmeter shows zero ohms for closed switch
and full scale for open switch. (Float Switch)
2c. Check winding insulation (Megger Test) and
winding resistance. If check is outside of range,
dry and re-check. If still defective, replace per
service instructions.
3. Make sure liquid level is above the pump
4. Re-check all sizing calculations to determine
proper pump size.
5. Check discharge line for restrictions, including
ice if line passes through or into cold areas.
6. Remove and examine check valve for proper
installation and freedom of operation
7. Open valve
8. Check impeller for freedom of operation,
security and condition. Clean impeller cavity
and inlet of any obstruction
9. Loosen union slightly to allow trapped air to
escape. Verify that turn-o level of switch is set
so that the suction is always ooded. Clean vent
hole
10. Check rotation. If power supply is three phase,
reverse any two of three power supply leads to
ensure proper impeller rotation
11. Repair xtures as required to eliminate leakage
12. Check pump temperature limits and uid
temperature
13. Replace portion of discharge pipe with exible
connector or tighten existing piping.
14. Turn to automatic position
15. Check for leaks around basin inlet and outlets
