Setup and Installation

The Pro380 Series is engineered for straightforward installation, especially in areas with difficult soil. The system arrives pre-assembled from the factory, incorporating QuickTree Technology to reduce labor time on site.

QuickTree Technology

QuickTree Technology is a contractor-friendly feature that allows for easy inspection and replacement of the pump and/or alarm float. Floats are mounted on a stainless steel rod (tree) and suspended within the system by a holder integrated into the main cover. Access to the QuickTree is facilitated by a secondary 'access' cover, eliminating the need to disconnect plumbing or remove the entire pump for maintenance.

Basin Design and Protection

The Pro380 Series features a robust 24 x 24-inch basin with a large 41-gallon capacity. It includes an anti-flotation collar, molded torque-stops, unique integrated cord seal technology, and integral rubber cover seals for secure and reliable operation. For protection during rough-in and masonry work, the system is shipped with a clear disposable construction cover that can be easily removed when finish plumbing is ready.

Important Installation Note: When backfilling around the basin, use small gravel. Avoid native soil, sand, or large rocks to ensure proper support and prevent damage to the basin. This enclosure is not traffic-rated; do not install it in locations where vehicles may drive over it.

Operating Instructions

The P382LE51 system is designed to handle sewage and effluent wastewater effectively. Its 1/2-horsepower pump ensures powerful and quiet operation, contributing to longer pump cycles and extended product life.

Pre-Operation Test: Before introducing sewage into the system, it is highly recommended to test the pump's functionality with clean water. Fill the basin with water and observe multiple pump cycles to ensure proper operation and check for any leaks or malfunctions.

Alarm Float: While this specific model may not include an alarm float, plumbing codes often recommend its inclusion to prevent potential property damage in case of pump failure and tank overfilling. Consider installing an external alarm float if your application or local codes require it.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sewage system. The QuickTree Technology significantly simplifies maintenance tasks.

• Float Inspection: Utilize the separate access cover to easily inspect and, if necessary, replace the pump or alarm float without disturbing the main plumbing connections.
• System Cleaning: Periodically check the basin for any debris accumulation that might impede float movement or pump operation.
• Seal Integrity: Inspect the integrated cord seals and rubber cover seals for any signs of wear or damage to maintain a watertight system.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your P382LE51 system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Shipping Damage: Upon arrival, thoroughly inspect the product for any shipping damage. If damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
• Leaks at Inlet: If leaks occur around the inlet stem where the house pipe connects, inspect the molded seam of the inlet stem. If it is not perfectly round, carefully shave it with a razor blade and sand it smooth with sand cloth to ensure a proper seal with the rubber boot.
• Pump Not Activating: Check the power supply to the pump. Verify that the float switch is moving freely and not obstructed by debris.
• Pump Running Continuously: Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the 'up' position. Check for any blockages in the discharge line.
