INTROducTION
This macerator is manufactured in a factory which is quality cer-
tified to ISO 9001 (2000) accredited by AFAQ.This
equipment benefits from the latest technological innovations
concerning soundproofing.To benefit fully from the advantages
provided by this new generation of appliances, it is important
to comply with the installation instructions.

1.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The macerating unit is a residential pumping system for
toilet and bathroom fixtures. The system is comprised of three
major components :
- the macerating unit, which connects to the outlet of
a rear spigot outlet toilet
- The toilet bowl
- The toilet tank
The macerating unit also consists of three major parts: the
container which houses the operating mechanism; a pressure
chamber which automatically activates and deactivates; the
induction motor which drives the cutting blade and the impeller.
The macerating unit can simultaneously receive wastewater
from several sanitary fixtures, e.g. sink, shower, bathtub,
urinal, but only one water closet per unit.
Macerating units are designed for the disposal of human
waste, toilet paper and water. They are not intended to be
used for the disposal of kitchen waste, neither are they
intended to be used for the disposal of waste water from such
pump appliances as dishwashers and clothes washers.
Macerating system must discharge into a minimum 3/4-inch
sanitary drainage pipe. The macerating system will pump up
to 15 feet vertically, with a
constantly throughout the horizontal run to the point of dis-
charge. If you require a vertical lift it should precede any "hori-
zontal" run and should commence as near as possible to the
discharge elbow. Once you have started the horizontal run,
you cannot change directions in a upward vertical manner.
SANITARY INLETS
The macerating unit is equipped with two additional 2" inlets,
one on either side of the case. These inlets, which incorporate
an internal check valve, are used to connect the drainpipe of
other sanitary fixtures to the macerating unit.
Note: In case one of the inlets is not used by a fixture, you will
need to block off this inlet with the plugs provided.
BATHTUB
Any regular bathtub can be used, as only the drainpipe
connects to the macerating unit. When installing a
bathtub, we recommend to build a platform out of
2 x 8-inch lumber, on which the tub is placed. This gives
enough space for a p-trap and slope toward the
wastewater inlets.
SHOWER STALL
When installing a shower, a special raised shower base
can be installed. This eliminates the building of a
platform. Alternatively, you may want to purchase a
regular shower and also build a platform for it. We
recommend to build a platform out of 2 x 8-inch lumber.
Note: Platform height. The actual distance between the
p-trap of the additional fixture and the macerating unit
determines the necessary clearance to install the p-trap
and elevation required to ensure a minimum gravity
1
flow of / -inch per foot.

1.2 - NORMAL OPERATING CYCLE
As the flush is operated or as the bath, shower and lavatory
discharge, the water and waste enter the unit and the water
level begins to rise, triggering the micro-switch in the pressure
chamber. This in turn activates the motor. The shredded waste
is picked up by the impeller and discharged through a
outlet pipe to a sanitary sewer or soil stack.
Safety note: For safety the macerating unit should never be
activated with the lid removed.

The pan gasket (part 35 – schematic diagram) supplied will be
used to connect the pump casing to the back of the bowl. The
smaller end will need to be stretched to fit the outer groove in
front of the pump. Once installed, this gasket will need to be
secured to the pump casing by means of a tie wrap (provided).
Upon installing the toilet bowl, the other end of this gasket will
need to be connected to the spigot of the bowl. Secure this
connection with the gear clamp provided.
