Safety Precautions

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
WARNING
 Accidental contact with electrically live parts, items, fluid, or
water can cause serious injury or death.
 Always disconnect pump (macerator) from power source
before handling or making any adjustments. Fatal electrical
shock could occur.
 The pump shall be plugged into a properly fused electrical
outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) that
conforms to current National Electric Code (NEC) and all
applicable local codes. All wiring must be performed by
qualified personnel.
 All electrical and safety practices shall be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code
Health Administration, or applicable local codes and
ordinances.
 Pump shall be properly grounded using its supplied
grounding conductor. Do not bypass grounding wires or
remove ground prong from attachment plugs. Failure to
properly ground the pump system can cause all metal
portions of the pump and its surroundings to become
energized.
 Do not handle or unplug pump with wet hands, when
standing on a wet/damp surface, or in water. Fatal electrical
shock could occur.
 Do not lift or carry the pump by its power cord. This will
damage the power cord, and could expose the electrically live
wires inside the power cord.
 The electrical power supply shall be located within the length
limitations of the pump power cord, and for below grade
installations, it shall be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) above floor level.
 Do not submerge macerator or allow macerator to be
exposed to water. Macerating toilet system is acceptable for
indoor dry location use only. Serious injury or death could
result.
RISK OF FIRE
WARNING
 Do not use an extension cord to power the product.
Extension cords can overload both the product and extension
cord supply wires. Overloaded wires will get very hot and can
catch on fire.
 Explosion hazard during installation. PVC cleaners, primers,
and cements can release explosive vapors. These
heavier-than-air vapors can accumulate in the tank. The heat
of soldering or sweating copper or other metal pipe can
ignite these vapors causing a violent explosion. If the unit is
to be connected to copper discharge or vent piping, all
solvent-welded PVC joints must be allowed to cure a
minimum of 24 hours. The access cover must be removed to
allow the tank to be thoroughly ventilated prior to sweating
copper pipe near the unit.
 These pumps are not to be installed in locations classified as
hazardous in accordance with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING
 Do not modify the pump/pump system in any way.
Modifications may affect seals, change the electrical loading
of the pump, or damage the pump and its components.
 All pump/pump system installations shall be in compliance
with all applicable Federal, State, and Local codes and
ordinances.
 Do not remove any tags or labels from the pump or its cord.
 Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent
injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is connected to
a power source.
 The macerator has a large opening to accept the discharge
hub of a rear discharge toilet. Do not place hand or other
objects into this opening even if unit is unplugged. The
macerator has razor sharp cutters within this opening.
 Decorative covers must be installed for operation as a safety
device is integrated into the covers to prevent unintended
operation. The unit may start when energized the first time.
 This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
CAUTION
 Wear Protective Personal Equipment to protect hands as
exposed cutter blades have sharp edges.
NOTICE
 Do not use pumps with fluid over 104°F (40°C). Operating the
pump in fluid above this temperature can overheat the pump,
resulting in pump failure.
 Do not use an air admittance valve or a mechanical
spring-loaded venting device, as these devices are one-way
valves. The air pressure in and outside the macerating pump
unit must be equal and a "cheater" vent will obstruct the
airflow in one direction and prevent proper toilet function.
 The Ascent II macerating unit includes electronic controls and
must be protected from direct water exposure during
installation and use.
