STEPS TO INSTALL RAIL SYSTEM IN FIBERGLASS OR CONCRETE BASIN

1. Unpack parts and check that all packages listed
   are available.

2. If basin is concrete chip out any protruding rocks. Drop plumb line from top of basin for center line locations and mark center lines on basin wall with chalk. If basin is fiberglass it must be mounted on level surface with walls plumb before marking center lines. All parts should be installed in fiberglass basin before placing in ground.

3. If basin is concrete, holes must be drilled in basin bottom and side walls for mounting parts. Use machine bolt expansion sleeves 1½” long 3/8″ size for mounting discharge case and flanges. Use 5/8″ carbide drill for holes. If basin is fiberglass, holes are drilled through bottom and special rubber seal washers are supplied to seal bolt heads where they pass through basin bottoms.

4. Cut holes through concrete wall or fiberglass wall to locate flange. Make holes just large enough to clear flange hubs. If basin is concrete, support pipe and discharge pipe can be cemented into basin wall without using flanges, if desired. If pipes are cemented in, be sure all piping is plumb and correctly aligned and blocked before making final cement joint.

5. Bolt discharge case to basin bottom. If basin is fiberglass, special seal washers are furnished to seal bolt heads where bolts pass through basin bottom. Bolt support flange and discharge flange in place. Do not tighten bolts too tight at this point as some adjustment may be necessary for final alignment when rails are installed. Be sure to use gaskets on flanges, either in concrete or fiberglass.

6. Install discharge piping into discharge flange and vertical riser pipe from discharge casting. Be sure vertical piping is plumb so that it will not interfere with rails. Use slip coupling to join pipes.

7. Install 1″ galvanized pipe guide rails. Stainless steel or other corrosion resistant pipe may be used as long as the O.D. is the same as 1″ standard pipe (1.315″ O.D.). In order to mount rails to support yoke in the 1″ rails, push the support nipple through the yoke and screw into flange. Bolts can be adjusted in flange to properly align the yoke. If support pipe that holds yoke is cemented into wall, be sure all piping is properly aligned and blocked before final cementing of the nipple. Use of the standard flange supplied is usually preferred, as alignment is easier, although some time is necessary to drill holes for anchor expansion bolts.

8. Align 1″ guide rails plumb by using a level in both directions on pipe. Once rails are properly aligned, tighten bolts in flanges and tighten set screws that hold 1″ pipes in base casting.

9. Mount level control support bracket and install level controls on bracket and adjust for proper pumping heights. Level control is always set so that pump will turn off when sump level is 1″ to 2″ above bottom
   of pump.

10. Place cover on basin and bolt in place. If basin is concrete, expansion bolts will have to be set at proper location to hold cover.

11. Inlet flange must be mounted to basin at depth required to get gravity flow into basin. Inlet flanges are available for 4″, 6″ or 8″ inlet pipe and more than one inlet may be used, if desired. Bottom of basin must be at least 36″ below inlet pipe. Inlet flanges are ordered separately to be mounted in the field.

ASSEMBLING PIPING TO PUMP

Pump grinder plate and pump discharge piping are supplied with other rail parts.

1. Attach guide plate and piping to pump. Be sure piping is plumb, then tighten all set screws. Attach lifting chain to lifting eye with clevis supplied. Pumps can now be lowered into position with lifting chain. Retain power and control cords at surface as pump is lowered. When pumps are in place, attach cords to connection box. Remove slack from wires so that they will hang vertically without tangling.

2. Connect level control cords to connection box.

3. Install control box on cover and connect to cover with 4 x 4 mounting pedestal.

4. Run wires to control box and connect to cords coming into connection box. Mark or trace each incoming wire so that it can be connected to
   proper cord.

5. Do not pour sealing compound into fitting until pumps have been run, to be sure all connections
   are correct.

6. Install hold-down guides and ½” galvanized hold-down pipe. Screw pipe into lower guide. Upper guides hold to rails and hold-down pipe with set screws. The hold-down pipe is necessary to prevent hydraulic pressure from lifting pump from base. The hydraulic pressure keeps the pumps suspended in operation so there is no side load on the rails and removal is easier when required.

MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY

INLET FLANGES

1. There is available cast iron and 4″ or 6″ AdaptaFlex™ inlet hubs for SDR 35 PVC or Schedule 40 PVC pipe. More than one inlet may be used. Inlet flange must be mounted to basin at depth required to get gravity flow into basin. Bottom of basin must be at least 36″ below inlet pipe.
2. AdaptaFlex™ hubs. Cut hole(s) the ough fiberglass basin at desired location using the correct size hole saw. For 4″inlets use a 5″ hole, for 6″ inlets use a 7″ hole. Select inlet which matches the type of pipe being used. Insert the inlet into the previously cut hole. Chamfer the ends of the plastic pipe for ease of installation. Lubricate pipe with soapy water. Insert pipe through inlet so that the pipe protrudes through the inlet approximately one inch.

BONDING DISCHARGE PIPE AND CONDUIT FLANGES IN BASIN ASSEMBLIES WITH PLASTIC LIFT-OUT SYSTEMS

1. Have all the pipes cut to length and fit for assembly before bonding together.
2. Pipe and flange must be clean and free of water and oil.
3. End of pipe must be cut square and free of flash.
4. Apply pipe cement completely around pipe and around the inside of mating flange.
5. Insert pipe completely into flange, bottoming it out.
6. Twist pipe and/or flange 360°.
7. DO NOT run water through piping for 24 hours after bonding.

STARTING SYSTEM

1. Open 1¼” PVC ball valve; turn counterclockwise to open. pump to operate until sump level drops, stopping pump.
2. Set pump switch on AUTO position and run water into sump until level control starts pump. Allow

IMPORTANT – Level control should be set so that sump level drops to within 1″ or 2″ from bottom of pump before stopping pump.

• Turn pump switch to OFF and fill sump over alarm control. Indoor panel buzzer should sound, or if outside panel, red light should flash.
• Set pump switch to AUTO position and system is now ready for automatic operation.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE CHECK THE FOLLOWING

Pump will run but not deliver water

1. Probably air lock. Start and stop pump several times. If this does not clear air, turn pump to OFF and run more water into sump 6″ to 12″ higher. If air still does not clear, it may be necessary to raise hold-down pipe and lift pump so that lower seal fitting is out of the discharge case to release air.
2. Be sure shut-off valve is open in discharge line.
3. If pump is 3 phase, be sure rotation is correct. Grinder impeller must rotate counterclockwise when looking at pump inlet.

Pump seal fitting does not hold tight

1. Probably cut or broken O-ring. Replace if necessary. Trash may be caught in seal flange. Lift pump and open shut-off valve to back flush discharge casting. On installation where discharge line is not filled it may be necessary to lift pump until seal flange is out of discharge case, then run pump to flush casting. For all other problems with pump or control box refer to pump and control box instructions included with these items.

CAUTION – Never work on pumps or controls unless power is turned off. If pump is remote from control box, disconnect wires to pumps to be certain power cannot be turned on when working on pumps. Never put fingers near grinder impeller when pump cord is connected.

Example – 24″ diameter basin 8 feet deep requires 2 x 8 = 16 cubic feet of concrete to prevent flotation. If basin is installed in dry ground without surface water, 1/3″ of above values may be used.
