Symbols used in this document

If these safety instructions are not observed, it may result in personal injury.

The surface of the product may be so hot that it may cause burns or personal injury.

If these safety instructions are not observed, it may result in malfunction or damage to the equipment.
Note
Notes or instructions that make the job easier and ensure safe operation.

General description

The C-3 is a small, compact automatic lifting station suitable for pumping grey wastewater off places where it cannot be led directly to the sewer by means of a natural downward slope.

If you are away for a long period (e.g. holidays), we recommend that you turn off the water supply to the units served by the lifting station.

Applications

The product is suitable for pumping grey wastewater from a washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen sink, bath tub, shower or water softeners.
Note
The product must be fastened to the floor to prevent uplift and turning.

Pumped liquids

Grey wastewater up to 90°C.
Brine from water softeners with a maximum temperature of 20°C and maximum 15% of salt. Ordinary liquids for cleaning of the appliances connected. pH value: 4-10.

The product must not pump harsh chemicals or solvents. See the quick guide.

Installation

Do not pull or lift the product by the power supply cable.
Note
We strongly recommend that you install an LC A2 alarm device (accessory) if a washing machine, dishwasher, bathtub and/or a shower are connected to the lifting station.
The LC A2 will emit an acoustic alarm and switch off the washing machine or dishwasher if the water level in the tank becomes too high.
The product must be accessible for maintenance and repair.
The product must be placed in a frost-free room to prevent the pumped liquid from freezing.
Make sure that all external pipework is adequately insulated.
Note
The outlet pipe must be made of rigid material, such as copper, or of rigid PVC with solvent-welded joints.
To prevent the transmission of vibrations to buildings, make sure that the pipework is thoroughly fixed and that fittings cannot move and are not in contact with building parts.

Electrical connection

Make sure that the product is suitable for the supply voltage and frequency available at the installation site.
The electrical connection must be carried out in accordance with local regulations.

The product must be earthed. The protective earth of the socket outlet must be connected to the protective earth of the pump. The plug must therefore have the same PE connection system as that of the socket outlet. If not, use a suitable adapter.
The installation must include an earth leakage circuit breaker for protection against earth fault currents. This ensures protection when using a Schuko plug or another plug with earth pin.

The product must be connected to a mains switch with a minimum contact gap of 3 mm in all poles.
The thermal switch cuts out the motor in case of overtemperature and cuts it in again automatically after cooling.

Service

The product must only be serviced by trained service staff.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's service partner or a similarly qualified person.
To ensure safe and reliable operation, always use original spare parts from Grundfos.
For service kits, see www.productselection.grundfos.com.
Note
The product must be thoroughly cleaned before it is returned for service. Otherwise the warranty will be void.

Service documentation

Service documentation is available at www.productselection.grundfos.com.
Note
If you have any questions, please contact the nearest Grundfos company or service workshop.

Maintenance

The lifting station does not require any special maintenance, but we recommend that you check operation and pipe connections at least once a year.
Note
If the lifting station is connected to a washing machine or kitchen sink, we recommend that you check the float switch unit every six months for fibres and grease/fat.
Change the carbon filter once a year. See section Service instructions.

Service instructions

Thanks to the product design, service is easy in case of malfunction or blocked pump.
The product may contain hot water.
The surface of the product may be so hot that it may cause burns or personal injury!

Before carrying out any service work, remove the fuse, pull out the plug, or switch off the power supply. Make sure that the power supply cannot be accidentally switched on.
All rotating parts must have stopped moving.
The product must only be serviced by trained service staff.

1. Impeller stuck
   
   1. Disconnect the power supply.
      
   2. Unscrew the cover.
      
   3. Turn the motor shaft to the right and left with a screwdriver inserted into the slot in the shaft end to free the impeller from dirt.
      
   4. Fit the cover, and switch on the power supply to check if the impeller can rotate freely.
      
2. Operation by means of a power drill
   1. If the product cannot be operated by electrical power, disconnect the power supply and empty the tank by means of a power drill.
      
3. Foreign body in tank
   1. If the water level in the tank is above the motor flange, disconnect the power supply and drain the tank by means of the drain hose.
      
   2. Unscrew the cover.
      
   3. Remove the four screws of the motor flange.
      
   4. Lift the motor flange to reduce the compression of the O-ring. Insert a screwdriver into the notch underneath the power supply cable and press it down.
      
   5. Lift out the complete motor-pump unit by the handles.
      
      Note
      Lift the unit vertically before tilting it.
   6. Check and clean the impeller, the protecting tube of the float switch and the tank.
      
      Note
      Check that the float switch works properly before fitting the cover.
4. Float switch pipe blocked
   Note
   The float switch unit can be removed separately.
   If the water level in the tank is above the motor flange, disconnect the power supply and drain the tank by means of the drain hose. See 3.1.
   1. 
      Unscrew the cover.
      Turn the bayonet coupling 10 ° clockwise.
      Pull out the float switch unit.
      Press in the two tabs on the protecting tube.
      Pull down the protecting tube.
   2. Check and clean the float switch pipe.
      
      Note
      Check that the float switch works properly before fitting the cover.
      Note
      Lubricate the O-ring seat of the float switch in the motor flange for easier fitting.
5. Carbon filter
   
   1. Replace the carbon filter once a year to ensure sufficient filter function.
      Note
      Instead of using a carbon filter, Sololift can also be vented through a venting pipe. In this case a venting valve is needed. Product number: 98059587.
