INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

and 750) diameter sumps. All

grinder systems use the Hydr-O-

Grind submersible grinder pump,

which has cutter blades that grind

solids and send the slurry directly

into the inlet of the centrifugal

pump impeller. Refer to the

Service Manual for Hydromatic

grinder pumps when adjusting,

dismantling, or repairing the

pump. Periodic lubrication is

not necessary on Hydr-O-Grind

pumps because the motor and seal

chamber are oil filled.

In a Hydr-O-Rail System,

the pump is raised and lowered

in the basin on pipe rails.

A hydraulic sealing flange at

the pump discharge allows

the pump to be removed from

the basin and guided up

the rails without unscrewing

piping or disconnecting electrical

connections.

Thank you for purchasing your

Hydromatic pump. To help ensure

years of trouble-free op er a tion,

please read the fol low ing manual

carefully.

Before operation:

Read the following in struc-

tions care ful ly. Reasonable care

and safe meth ods should be

practiced. Check local codes and

requirements before installation.

General

Information

Installation

Instructions

In a suspended system, the pump

is hung into the basin by a support

pipe attached to a removable

pump cover.

For Simplex Systems, two 3900

Mercury float switch controls are

used. The upper float turns the

pump on and the lower float turns

the pump off.

A Duplex System uses three

float switches. The lower control

shuts off both pumps, the middle

control starts either pump through

an automatic alternator in the

control panel, and the upper

control turns on both pumps.

Application

The pumps in these systems are

basically designed for pumping

fresh, waste, effluent or sewage

water with a PH ranging from 6 to

9, specific gravities from 0.9 to 1.1,

viscosities ranging from 28 to 35

S.S.U. and temperatures up to

140° F.

Upon arrival, check the items

for any concealed damage.

Any damage should be

reported immediately to

delivering carrier. Claims

for damage must originate at

the receiving end. Claims for

shipping damage cannot be

processed at the factory.

Contained in the following

standard system shipping lists

are the number of separate

items you will receive from

the factory. However, if more

than one system is shipped at

a time, some items such as the

hardware kit may be combined

in one carton. Also any

additional pumps or alarm boxes

(optional) will be shipped as

separate items.

Check to be sure that all the

items for your particular

system are included, and that the

phase and voltage on the pump

nameplate are correct as ordered.

Codes

All local wiring codes must

be observed. Consult the local

inspector before installation to

avoid costly delays that can occur

due to rejection after the job is

finished.

Location

These systems can be installed

either on the inside or the

outside of a building. If

installed outside, piping for

inlet, overflow (if required)

and discharge must be below

frostline.

Electrical Connections

Make all connections from motor

and float switches to comply with

local codes.

Installing the Simplex

and Duplex Hydr-O-Rail

Systems (Mods. FBHRSS,

FBHRSG, FBHRDS, and

FBHRDG)

Referring to fig. 1 or 2

assemble and install in the

following sequence:

1. Mount inlet hubs (22) to side

of fiberglass basin by sawing

a hole the size of inlet, and

drilling 7/16” holes. Secure

the inlet hub (22) and gasket

(23) with screws (26), washers

(24), and nuts (25). Apply a

bead of silicone caulk around

the flange at the basin. Hubs

are factory installed in steel

basins.

2. Install basin and connect inlet

and discharge pipe(s). Grout in

all inlet or overflow pipes.

3. Unpack Hydr-O-Grind pump

(s) from carton(s) and lay on

side. Turn the radial cutter

located at the bottom of the

pump by hand to be sure shaft

turns freely with slight drag. If

it doesn’t turn freely, refer to

the procedure outlined under

Axial Cutter Adjustment in

the Hydromatic Grinder Pump

Service Manual.

4. Attach the lower guide (13) to

the bottom of the pump with

either three 5/16” cap screws

(16) for 1/2 and 2 horsepower

pump or two 3/8” cap screws

(17) for 3 and 5 horsepower

pump.

5. Screw the discharge pipe

assembly (10) into the

discharge outlet of the pump.

Always use joint compound

when assembling piping.

6. Attach the upper guide (12) to

the discharge pipe assembly

(10) with clamp (14). Check

to be sure rail notches in upper

and lower guides line up.

7. 3 and 5 horsepower – screw a

3/8” nut (21) on each end of

the two 3/8” threaded studs

(20). Screw one end of each

stud (20) into pump, and put

the other end through the hole

in the upper guide (12). Screw

another 3/8” nut (21) onto the

3/8” stud (20) and tighten both

nuts (21) firmly against upper

guide (12). Tighten 3/8” nuts

(21) down against pump.

8. For Simplex Systems, remove

the three cap screws from the

larger of the two bolted down

basin covers and remove cover

(27). For Duplex Systems,

open the hinged lid.

9. Attach shackle and chain

assembly (11) to lug on upper

guide (12).

10. Using chain, lower pump into

basin on guide rails. Be sure

check valve and hydraulic

sealing flange connect with

discharge flange in side of

tank. Guide ears on check

valve hold valve and flange

in place. Clearance at

sealing flange is adjusted for

1-1/2 & 2 horsepower

pumps by sliding clamp (14)

and upper guide (12) along

horizontal discharge pipe. For

3 & 5 horsepower pumps,

sealing flange clearance is

adjusted by loosening nuts

(35), sliding guide plates (36)

and tightening down nuts (35).

If the check valve and flange

do not line up vertically, raise

pump from basin, remove

lower guide (13) and put

washers as required between

the lower guide (13) and pump

or between the lower guide

and the bolt heads. Again

lower pump into sump and

check vertical alignment.

11. Lower floats (15) into basin,

clamp strain relief bushings

around float cable, then insert

bushings into bracket. The

floats will be adjusted later in

Starting the System.

12. Insert the float cords and

power cord(s) through the

pedestal (29), and mount the

pedestal to the stationary cover

with four 1/4” hex head cap

screws (1), lock washers (6)

and flat washers (3). Note that

vents in pedestal must point

downward.

13. Place gaskets (2) on top of

pedestal flange.

14. Insert float and power cords

first through cord grips in

sealing block (8) and then

through hole in bottom of

control panel.

15. Set sealing block (8) and

control panel on flange of

pedestal (29) and secure with

four 1/4” hex head cap screws

(5), lock washers (6), and nuts

(7). Tighten the power and

control cord grips leaving

about 3” of play in cords.

IMPORTANT: Sealing blocks

(8) are shipped with three

(Simplex) and four (Duplex)

control cord grips. A nylon

plug has been inserted into

one of the control grips. Do

not remove this plug unless an

additional alarm float is used.

The plug is factory inserted

to prevent the corrosive

atmosphere of the basin from

reaching control panel. Check

to be sure any unused cord

grips are plugged.

16. If optional junction box and

remotely mounted control

panel are used instead of the

standard pedestal (29), push

the power and float cables

through the cord grips in the

junction box (37), tighten the

cord grips, and connect the

cables to the proper terminal

blocks. To prevent corrosion,

plug any unused tapped bosses

on the junction box with pipe

plugs. It is recommended

that the customer furnish

and install a conduit seal

outside the basin to prevent

surface water from entering

junction box.

17. Connect power and float

cables to proper terminals in

control panel. Hydromatic

control panel must be used

or pump guarantee is void.

Connect the ground wire to a

good ground, such as a water

pipe. THIS IS IMPORTANT

FOR SAFETY.

18. IMPORTANT. Do not leave

pump and floats in basin

unless they are placed in

operation. If pump is left out

of service for a period of time,

rust will build up and bind the

impeller to the volute.

Installing Simplex and Duplex

Hydr-O-Rail Component

Systems (Models HRS, HRD)

Referring to fig. 3 or 4,

assemble and install in the

following sequence:

1. Either pour a concrete basin

or obtain precast concrete

rings. A slope can be poured

in the bottom of the tank to

prevent solids buildup at the

perimeter. Install inlet and

discharge hole only into

side of basin. Do not install

discharge pipe yet.

2. Perform steps 3 thru 7 as in

previous instruction.

3. Attach shackle and chain

assembly (11) to lug on upper

guide (12).

4. Either cast 1/2” anchor bolts

into basin bottom for pump

base plate (32) or drill holes

for expansion lag screws. Use

either 1/2” nuts or bolts to

secure base plate (32) to basin

bottom.

5. If rails are longer than 15 ft.,

intermediate side rail guides

(43) must be installed at the

approximate center of the

rails. If Hydromatic cover is

not used, rails will extend to

about one foot below top of

basin. Cut two (Simplex) or

four (Duplex) rails from 3/4”

or 1-1/2” standard galvanized

steel pipe (provided by

installer) to about half the total

length of guide rail required.

Determine proper rail diameter

by measuring shaft diameter of

base plate (32).

Insert intermediate side rail

guides (43) into tops of these

pipes and slip pipes over

round bar in base plate (32).

If system is Duplex, install

two more pipes using

intermediate center rail guide

(44).

6. Measure from shoulder on

base plate (32) (or shoulder on

intermediate rail guides if

used) to elevation at top of

basin. Cut two (Simplex) or

four (Duplex) pieces of 3/4”

or 1-1/2” standard galvanized

steel pipe to about 1-1/2”

less than this length for a

Hydromatic Simplex split

basin cover or 3/8” less for

a Hydromatic Duplex basin

cover. If upper rails will be

supported from side of basin,

cut rails about 12” less than

this length. If angle iron

framed steel hatch is being

used, cut guide pipes to suit.

Slip bottom of these pipes over

round bar on base plate (32) or

intermediate guides (43) (44).

7. Place the stationary portion of

the basin cover (50) (Simplex)

or hinged cover (27) (Duplex)

on top of the basin so that

the round bars of the top rail

supports are inserted into the

guide rails. Make sure the rails

are plumb and on 12 inch

centers. Mark the cover

mounting holes on the top of

basin. Remove cover and drill

holes for masonry anchors.

Install cover with cap screws

provided. Repeat for Simplex

removable cover (27).

8. If upper rails are to be

supported from the side of the

basin, insert round bars of the

top side rail guides (37) into

top ends of pipe. With the rails

plumb and on correct center

distance, mark top side rail

braces (41) to proper length

and saw to length. Drill 5/16”

holes in proper position and

fasten top side rail guides (37)

to top side rail braces (41) with

cap screws (38), flat washers

(40), and nuts (49) provided.

A float hanger strap (34) is

assembled together with the

top side rail guides (37) on

Simplex units. If system is

Duplex, assemble top center

rail guide (39) and top center

rail brace (42) in the center.

Make sure guide rails are kept

plumb and on correct center

distance when this work is

being done.

9. If intermediate rail guides

have been used, install these

rail braces (41) (42) as above.

Make sure guide rails are

plumb and on correct center

distance.

10. Using chain, lower pump into

basin on guide rails until it

rests on base plate (32).

11. Install discharge pipe (by

others) into side of basin so

that it lines up with check

valve. Slip the sealing flange

and gate valve assembly

(31) through the guide ears

on the check valve. The face

of the sealing flange should

be approximately 1/16” from

sealing flange gasket on

check valve when the gate

valve is screwed onto the

discharge pipe furnished by

others. Make sure gate valve

handwheel is turned up.

12. If the centerline of discharge

is greater than 12 ft. from

the top of the basin, a gate

valve extension (30) and

support (36) must be installed.

If the gate valve extension

(30) is longer than 10’-0”, an

intermediate support brace

(33) must be used.

13. Place intermediate gate

valve extension brace (33)

at approximately half the

distance between the gate

valve handwheel and one foot

below the top of the basin.

The hole for the gate valve

extension should line up with

the centerline of the gate valve

handwheel. Mark the holes for

the brace and drill the holes

for 3/8” expansion anchors.

Fasten brace to basin with 3/8”

cap screws.

14. Place gate valve extension

support (36) so that the top

of the brace is approximately

one foot below the top of the

basin and the hole for the gate

valve extension lines up with

centerline of gate valve

handwheel. Mark and drill

holes for 3/8” anchors. Fasten

brace to basin with 3/8” cap

screws.

15. Unscrew handle from gate

valve extension (30) and

insert the rod up through the

grommet in the brace. Set the

other end of the extension onto

the gate valve handwheel and

lock into position with the

cotter pin (48). Thread the nut

and then the handle back onto

the top end of the gate valve

extension (30).

16. Lower floats (15) into basin,

clamp strain relief bushings

around float cable, then insert

bushings into bracket. The

floats will be adjusted later in

Starting the System.

17. Repeat steps 12 through 17

under Installing Simplex and

Duplex Hydr-O-Rail Systems.

Installing the Simplex

and Duplex Suspended

Systems factory built

or component (Models FBSSG,

FBSDG, SS, SD)

Referring to fig. 5 or 6,

assemble and install in the

following sequence:

1. Install the basin (1) and

connect inlet pipe to the side.

If the basin is concrete, set the

basin cover (2) on top of the

basin, mark the holes, remove

the basin cover (2) and drill

for expansion anchors. Secure

with cap screws. If basin is

installed outdoors below

frost level, a manway will be

required from the basin cover

to ground level so that pumps

can be serviced.

2. Unpack the Hydr-O-Grind

pump(s) from carton(s) and lay

on side. Turn the radial cutter

located at the bottom of the

pump by hand to be sure shaft

turns freely with slight drag. If

it doesn’t turn freely, refer to

the procedure outlined under

Axial Cutter Adjustment in

the Hydromatic Grinder Pump

Service Manual.

3. Remove pump cover (3) from

basin cover (2) by unscrewing

the four cap screws.

4. Place pump cover (3) with

suspension pipe and mounting

plate (4) on top of Hydr-O-

Grind pump, lining up the

three rubber shock mounts

with the three 1/4” holes in

the top of pump. Insert the

three 1/4” hex head cap screws

(18) and tighten with lock

washers (19) and flat washers

(20).

5. Screw 1-1/4” I.D. by 11-1/4”

discharge pipe (7) section into

discharge outlet of pump.

Always use pipe joint

compound when assembling

pipe.

6. Slide 1-5/8” I.D. by 3” rubber

sleeve (9) over unthreaded

end of 11-1/4” discharge pipe

(7) and secure with 2” metal

clamp (8).

7. Screw 8-1/2” length of 1-1/4”

pipe (10) into inlet of check

valve, and 1-1/4” pipe (12)

into discharge of check valve

(see arrow on check valve).

8. Unscrew the two cap screws

that secure the discharge

flange (22) to pump cover

(3). Remove flange and

insert check valve and piping

assembly through hole in

pump cover (3).

9. Insert check valve and piping

assembly into remaining end

of rubber sleeve (9) and secure

with second metal clamp (8).

10. Place rubber O-Ring (14) over

1-1/4” discharge pipe that

protrudes through the pump

cover (3). Replace discharge

flange (22) and secure with

two cap screws.

11. Screw lock nut (25) onto

lifting eye bolt (15) and then

screw eye bolt into hole

located in center of pump

cover (3). Tighten lock nut

(25) against pump cover (3).

12. Loosely screw power cord grip

(16) into pump cover (3).

13. Pull power cord through cord

grips (16) and tighten, leaving

about 3” of play in cord below

cover.

14. Loosely screw the control cord

grips (17) into the basin cover

(2) (Simplex Systems) or

inspection cover (23) (Duplex

Systems). Pull the float control

cords through cord grips (16)

and tighten. The floats will be

adjusted later in Starting the

System.

15. Lower assembled Hydr-O-

Grind system into basin.

Replace the 3/8” x 1” cap

screws (13) into pump cover

(3), and secure to basin cover

(2).

16. If installed outdoors below

frost level, install manway

extending from basin cover

to ground level. Manways are

usually made up of a section

of concrete pipe. A standard

concrete cover can be obtained

from a local concrete products

supplier.

17. Install 3” pipe to 3” vent

flange (24). Vent pipe is not

furnished by manufacturer.

This system can be ordered

without vent, if not required

by local codes.

18. Connect discharge service line

to threaded end of the 1-1/4”

discharge pipe (12) that

protrudes through pump cover

(3). The concrete manway

must be wide enough to

accommodate a union, gate

valve and other necessary

plumbing. The gate valve and

union must be beyond edge

of basin cover (2) so that the

cover can be removed.

19. If the system is installed

outside a NEMA IV or IX

junction box with terminal

blocks can be purchased from

a local electrical supplier.

Connect power and float

cables to terminal blocks

in junction box. It is

recommended that the

customer furnish and install a

conduit seal to prevent water

from entering the junction

box. Install cables and

underground conduit from

junction box to control panel.

Be sure ground wire is

connected to a good ground.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR

SAFETY. Connect power to

control panel.

20. IMPORTANT: Do not leave

pump and floats in basin

unless they are placed in

operation. If pump is left out

of service for a period of time,

rust will build up and bind the

impeller to the volute.

Remove pump from basin and

check the following:

1. With power off, turn the radial

cutter by hand to be sure it

rotates freely. If necessary to

adjust, refer to Axial Cutter

System

Operation

Adjustment in the Hydr-O-

Matic Grinder Pump Service

Manual.

2. Recheck electrical wiring. See

diagrams inside control panel.

3. Check for proper rotation of

3 phase pumps by turning

H-O-A switch to Hand then

off. The impeller should

turn counterclockwise when

viewed from the suction. If

rotation is wrong, turn off

main breaker and interchange

any two line leads to motor

to reverse. If pump is piped

in permanently, rotation can

be checked as described in

Starting the System.

4. IMPORTANT: Any air trapped

in the pump must be released

before pump can operate

properly. To vent trapped air

in 1-1/2 and 2 horsepower

pumps, remove the machine

screw in the volute. Vent 3 and

5 horsepower pumps as in Step

5 of Starting the System.

5. If pump has been out of service

for a period of time, rust may

build up and bind the impeller

to the volute. With power off,

turn impeller by hand before

restarting after extended shut

down.

Starting the System

1. Run water into basin until

motor is covered.

2. Open gate valve in discharge

line.

3. Turn selector to Off position

and turn on main breaker.

4. Recheck all legs of panel

primary voltage to motor

nameplate voltage.

5. Vent the rail mounted 3 and

5 horsepower pumps by first

closing the discharge gate valve

and then lifting the pump by

the chain until sealing flange

is broken. Turn selector switch

to Hand briefly to vent off

any trapped air. If pump is

piped in permanently, it will be

necessary to disconnect union

at pump discharge to clear air.

6. Start pump.

7. Check amperage. Readings

higher than nameplate indicate

clogged pump, miswiring, or

voltage that is higher or lower

than normal. If basin is not

pumped down and amperage

readings are considerably

lower than nameplate, then

pump is still air locked. Note

that nameplate amperage is

rated at the largest diameter

impeller, and that pumps with

cut diameter impellers will

draw slightly less amps than

nameplate.

8. Refill basin and set H-O-A

switch to Auto position. For

Simplex System, pump should

start when level is just above

pump and should pump down

within 2 inches of pump

suction inlet to shut off.

Adjust floats as necessary to

accomplish this. In some

systems, a time delay switch

may be installed in the control

panel to override the shut-off

switch. This allows the pump

to continue operating below

the normal stop setting and

break suction to clear all solids

through the cutters during the

run cycle. The cutters are then

free for normal starting on the

next cycle. This 0–3 minute

adjustable time delay should be

set so that the pump will break

suction and continue to run for

10–20 seconds.

If system is Duplex, float

controls should be set so that

pump turns off when level is

about 2 inches above inlet and

turns on when level is about

2 inches above water. The

override level should be set

about 3 inches above turn-on

level.

Below is a list of common

problems and possible

solutions. Refer to Grinder Pump

Installation and Service Manual

for any necessary adjusting,

dismantling or repair work

required on the pump.

Pump runs but does not pump

down the basin with the selector

switch on either Hand or

Automatic position

1. Pump may be air locked.

Remove the pump (1-1/2 and

2 horsepower) from the basin

and clean the tapped hole in the

volute if clogged with grease

or debris. If pump is 3 or 5

horsepower, vent off air as in

Step 5 of Starting the System.

For Duplex System, one pump

should start when level reaches

first upper control and will

continue to operate until level

of lower control is reached.

On next cycle, pump should

alternate when first upper

control level is reached.

To check override level, set

both H-O-A switches to Off

and fill basin above upper

override control. Turn both

H-O-A switches to Auto

position and both pumps should

start. Turn off one pump and

be sure second pump starts

when override level is reached

on second trial.

If pumps fail to cycle in this

manner, recheck voltage and

retrace control float wiring to

terminal block.

9. Set selector switches to Auto

position and install sump cover.

10. Be sure ground wire is

connected to a good ground.

this is important for safety.

Pump

Troubleshooting

2. Cutters may be clogged.

Amperage higher than the

nameplate will indicate this.

3. Pump rotation may be wrong.

Reversing any two line leads on

3 phase pumps will reverse the

rotation.

4. Discharge gate valve may be

closed.

5. Plugging anywhere from

cutters to check valve. This is

evident if no water discharged

out of the check valve after

raising the pump to disconnect

the sealing flange. Pull the

pump from the basin and

systematically dismantle the

check valve, piping, or pump

to find the clog. Plugging in

suspended systems cannot be

checked as above. Pump and

piping must be removed and

checked for plugging.

6. Plugging beyond the sealing

flange. This is evident if water

is discharged through the check

valve when raising the pump to

disconnect the sealing flange,

but the basin is still not pumped

down when the pump is

lowered again and the sealing

flange is reconnected. Proceed

in a logical manner to locate

and clear the plugging.

7. Discharge head may be too

high. Check elevation against

design point of pump.

Basin level is pumped down

with selector switch on Hand

position, but is not pumped

down with selector switch on

Automatic position

1. Floats are not hanging free in

the basin or are covered with

grease. Pump the level down

with the selector switch on

Hand, so that the floats can be

observed. Relocate and clean

all floats if necessary.

2. If this is a new installation and

original start-up, the floats may

be miswired into the control

panel. Recheck the wiring

diagrams and schematics in this

panel. If the start and stop float

are hooked up in reverse, the

pump will short cycle on and

off and will not pump the level

down.

3. Floats, or alternator, are

malfunctioning. Pull the floats

out of the basin, clean them,

and lay them out on the ground.

Lift up the stop (lower) float

in the left hand, the start

(upper) float in the right hand,

and with the bulbs hanging

free, turn selector switch to

Automatic. Lower the left hand

till the float hits the ground

and lies on its side. Nothing

should happen. After lowering

the right hand in the same

manner, the pump should start.

When raising the right hand

to suspend the float, the pump

should continue to run. The

pump should stop when raising

the left hand to suspend the

float. If this procedure does

not cause the pump to operate

as described, either order new

3900 Mercury float switches

or replace alternator relay if

system is Duplex.

Red seal failure light comes on

This means that the lower seal

has failed and allowed water to

enter the lower seal and make

contact with the electrode.

Remove the pump from the

basin immediately and refer to

the pump repair manual when

replacing the lower seal.

Green run light stays on

1. Selector switch may be in the

HAND position.

2. Lower float may have failed,

causing pump to operate below

the stop level.

3. Pump may be air bound.

4. Cutters may be clogged causing

reduced pumping capacity.

Circuit breaker trips, is

manually reset, and then trips

off again

1. Short circuit in motor or control

panel.

2. Water may have entered the

motor housing through either

worn out mechanical seals or

O-rings.

3. Check amp capacity of wire

and breakers.

4. Check panel wiring.

Overload trips, is manually

reset, and then trips off again

1. Cutters may be clogged. It is

possible that the pump stalled

during operation, and starting

and stopping cleared the

cutters. If resetting the

overloads solves this problem,

return the selector switch

to Automatic and observe

operation for further problems.

2. Motor may have failed.

3. Start relay or capacitor may

have failed.

4. Pump may be miswired to

terminal block.
