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 SURFACES OF THE DISPOSER
AND CONTROLS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Keep this booklet in a convenient location for future reference.

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.

PLUMBING
Inlet: Cold water supply to disposer shall be 1⁄2" service line with a minimum of 20 lbs. flow pressure, piped as close to
disposer as possible. All disposer and control connections shall be 1⁄2" pipe size.
Sewer Outlet: 11⁄2" waste line should have trap with conveniently located clean out. Do not connect through a grease trap.
Avoid bends, elbows, tees, etc., to reduce the possibility of plumbing stoppage. Aglobe valve, used for metering flow, must
be installed between solenoid valve and cone or sink. Water swirl inlet valves should be located nearest operator.
See Typical Installation Diagram.
ELECTRICAL
Follow guidelines set forth by NEC standards. Disposer branch circuit shall be sized and fused (circuit breakers) as
required by motor. The disposer must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or a disposergrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the disposer-grounding terminal or lead
on disposer. All connections, junction boxes and conduits must be watertight (NEMA 4).

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.
7. Take ampere readings on each leg and verify against factory-checked motor test results (copy attached to
disposer and should be attached to Page 15 in this Owner’s Manual).
8. Check for leaks, water flow, excessive noise or vibration, and regulate water flow if required.
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 DISPOSER 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), 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 earlier, motor will just run in same
direction. Push START. When disposer runs, press STOP and note coast down direction. When motor has
stopped, push START and note reversing of rotation.
12. If disposer is wired with a RAC2, rotation reversing is done the same as #1 1 above, except that the control panel
will first switch over to a 2-minute clean-out cycle, as shown by the green light. Verify this time, keeping the
solenoid valve open and motor running. When the 2 minutes have elapsed and motor has stopped, turn ON
disposer and note rotation.
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.
