DESIGN OF PUMP
1. Liberty ProVore
pump form a close coupled, watertight unit. The induction motor is insulated against heat and moisture, Class
B insulation.
2. A thermal overload protector is imbedded in the stator windings. This is connected in series and wired to shut
down the pump if overheating occurs. The overload switch resets automatically when the motor cools.
3. The motor is protected against damage from water entry by a mechanical type cartridge seal with two silicon-
carbide faces.
4. The impeller and volute are designed for efficient flow characteristics and clog-free operation. The hardened
cutters grind solids and fibrous matter into small particles that can be safely pumped through small diameter
piping.
5. For sewage systems, consult local plumbing codes on requirements for venting the tank. The pump shall not
be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA70.
NOTE: The primary material of the Liberty PRG Series Pumps is cast iron, elastomers are Buna-N. They
should not be used to pump corrosive liquids.

INSPECTION UPON RECEIPT

The shipping container should be immediately inspected for damage that may have occurred in shipment.
Exercise care in opening the shipping container to avoid damage to the pump. Remove any blocking and
cushioning from within the container.
Check all cushioning for spare parts before discarding. Visually check the pump and any spare parts for damage.
Check for damaged electrical wires, especially where they exit the motor housing. Contact the Liberty Pumps
Customer Service Department to report any damage or shortage of parts. The cutter located on the bottom of the
unit should be turned several rotations with the use of a 6 mm hex wrench, it should rotate freely without rubbing
on the cutter plate. This will insure that the impeller and cutter are free of any seizure due to prolonged storage.
If the impeller is not rotated manually prior to installation, the pump may fail to activate. If the impeller's rotation is
difficult or completely resistant, contact the Liberty Pumps Customer Service Department.
The grinder pump contains metal parts that rotate at high speeds. Be careful around
pump base while power is connected. Make sure that the pump is either in the tank or
clear from people and wires when in operation.
