SAFETY

RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION. When you see this symbol on

your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS. DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION
appear with the safety-alert symbol in this manual and on safety labels on
the machine to identify the level of hazard seriousness.

DANGER indicates a hazard that WILL result in severe personal injury or
death.

WARNING indicates a hazard or unsafe practice which COULD result in
severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION indicates a hazard or unsafe practice which COULD result in
minor personal injury or equipment damage.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Read this owner’s manual before using the machine. Failure to follow the
instructions provided could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

This disposer is intended for commercial use only.

DO NOT PUT HANDS OR ANY IMPLEMENT IN THE DISPOSER
WHILE IN OPERATION.

NEVER FEED WASTE BY HAND PAST VINYL SILVER TRAP
SCRAPPING RING.

DO NOT OPERATE IF DAMAGED.

Do not install or operate this disposer if the disposer has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Contact the nearest factory-authorized
service center for examination, repair or adjustment. (Refer to the service
center list included in the Owner ’s Information Packet.)

DO NOT LEAVE DISPOSER UNATTENDED.

SET THE POWER SWITCH TO OFF BEFORE CLEARING JAMS OR
REMOVING OBJECTS FROM DISPOSER.

When the disposer is wired to a Manual Control or Model RAC1 Control
Center, SHUT OFF the branch circuit main switch or disconnect.

When disposer is wired to a RAC2 Control Panel, TURN OFF emergency
disconnect.

Use long-handled tongs or pliers to remove objects.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY BY MATERIALS THAT MAY BE
EXPELLED BY DISPOSER, DO NOT PUT THE FOLLOWING INTO
DISPOSER: drain cleaner; glass, china or plastic; large, whole bones;

metal (bottle cas, tin cans, aluminum foil, etc.); whole cornhusks.

ALWAYS KEEP VINYL SILVER TRAP SCRAPPING RING OR SINK
STOPPER IN PLACE ON SERIES “H-RSA”, EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE.

This reduces the risk of objects falling into the disposer .

WHEN CLEANING KITCHEN AND DISPOSER AREA, ONLY DAMP
WIPE OUTSIDE OF DISPOSER AND CONTROLS. DO NOT AT ANY
TIME HOSE DOWN THE EXTERIOR SURF ACES OF THE DISPOSER
AND CONTROLS.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

FABRICATING

1. Consult installation and connection data and installation diagrams on following pages for regular cone or regular
sink attachment dishtable cutout sizes.

2. For cone attachment, position cone so water swirl inlet fitting is nearest to operator .

3. Weld the total circumference of cone or sink attachment to prevent leakage.

4. Smooth grind and polish to match and blend weld seams.

NOTE: DO NOT PLACE CONTROL MOUNTING BRACKETS IN DIRECT WATER SPLASH AREAS.

PLUMBING

1. Consult installation and connection data and installation diagrams on following pages for mounting, hookups and
pipe sizes.

2. “H” Series is mounted by suspending from dishtable.

3. “A”, “B” and “C” Series use a floor leg support system with a neoprene connecting sleeve and two (2) stainless
steel clamps. Supplied sleeve (8” length) should be cut to required length for connection of disposer to dishtable.

4. Slide in, or position, disposer to connect to waste line, avoiding as many bends, elbows and tees as possible.

5. Flexible drain connection should be installed as follows:
A. Slip coupling over disposer outlet, then onto drain pipe.
B. Using a 5⁄16” nut driver, tighten to a torque of 60 in-lbs.

6. Perform power-rotor reaming of waste line whether connection is made to a new or old waste line. New lines
often contain foreign items left in the lines accidentally during construction.

7. Blow new water feed lines out before connections are made. Dirt, solder, or other foreign matter can lodge itself
in the flow controls, solenoid valve and vacuum breaker , causing malfunction.

8. Install solenoid valve. Check that inlet and outlet ports are in proper direction.

9. Check that disposer and dishtable opening are in line, level and true. This is visible when neoprene sleeve is
not kinked or partially collapsed. If level and in line adjustment is required, turn feet on bottom of legs.

10. Secure disposer to floor using the holes provided in the feet.

ELECTRICAL

NOTE: FOLLOW GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY NEC STANDARD AND LOCAL CODES.

1. Consult installation and connection data and diagrams on following pages for control placement and motor
wiring.

NOTE: DO NOT PLACE CONTROL IN DIRECT WATER SPLASH AREAS.

2. Follow supplied wiring schematics for all controls, solenoid valves and pre-wired custom control centers.

3. Size and fuse disposer branch circuit or use circuit breakers as required by motor nameplate rating.

4. Check that motor voltage wiring matches incoming voltage.

NOTE: ALL CONDUIT AND FITTINGS SHALL BE OF THE NEMA 4 WATERTIGHT TYPE.

5. All “H” and “A” disposers have thermal protection of the manual reset type, in motor . Check that reset button is
not jammed.

6. All “B” and “C” disposers must have thermal protection (heaters) in control. Check that heaters are sized properly
to prevent either motor burnout or nuisance tripping.

7. Check that all connections are tight, secure and well-grounded.

NOTE: Disposers are designed to operate in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. Direction of rotation
does not have to be considered when wiring motor .

GROUNDING

Connect disposer to a grounded metal permanent wiring system or run a disposer grounding conductor with the circuit
conductors and connect it to the disposer grounding terminal or lead on the disposer .

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

START-UP AND RUN CHECK

1. Check that vinyl silver trap scrapping ring is fully seated.

2. Check that all connections are secure.

3. Check that disposer is secured to floor.

4. Open terminal wiring box on motor; pull out and separate motor leads to permit ampere reading on each leg.
Leave all connections and insulation in place.

5. Clamp ammeter over input feed lead.

6. Turn on disposer.

8. Check for leaks, water flow, excessive noise or vibration, and regulate water flow if required.

7. Take ampere readings on each leg and verify against factory-checked motor test results.

NOTE: Before checking rotation reversal, be sure disposer is empty. Wear safety glasses or goggles. BE SURE POWER
SWITCH IS OFF SHOULD ADJUSTMENTS ON DISPOSER BE NECESSARY. NEVER REACH INTO DISPOSER WHEN DIS-

POSER IS RUNNING.

9. If disposer is connected to a reversing control, whether automatic or manual, check reversing.

10. If disposer is connected to a manual reversing drum switch or contactor, START motor in forward position and note rotation
through top opening as motor coasts to a stop. RESTART motor in reverse position. Verify that disposer restarted in opposite

direction.

11. If disposer is connected to a control center with automatic reversing (Model RAC1/ RAC2), verify if disposer reverses.

NOTE: Motor must be stopped or 30 seconds must have elapsed before pushing START; otherwise, motor will not reverse. This
is a safety cycle feature. Should START button be pressed prior to elapsed time, motor will run in same direction. Direction Test:

A.) Press Start- Disposer Run. B.) Press Stop (note coast down direction. C.) Wait 30 sec. after motor stops. D.) Press start­Disposer should run is opposite direction.

12. If disposer is wired with a (RAC1/ RAC2), There are 3 trim-pots on the Control Module inside the controller that adjust op­eration. (To enable or disable clean out cycles) For more information about this Eco-Mizer: Electricity and Water Saver please

see the Instructions For Adjustable Timer With Auto Shut Down spec sheet in the control box. This timer is used to control the
shut down sequence of industrial garbage disposal units. When either the Stop input is activated or the Auto Shut Down timer
times out, the two stage shut down sequence begins. The first stage is Clean Out, where both the motor and water flow continue
for up to 2 minutes. The second stage is Positive Flush, where the motor is stopped, but the water flow is continued, also for up
to 2 minutes. The disposal may be restarted at any time, but if the motor has been off for more than 30 seconds, its direction will

be reversed.

13. In all shutdown phases, be sure water is being shut off by the closing of the solenoid valve.

14. Reinsert all wiring, close all covers and shut all doors that were open during run check.
