Introduction

Your TUFF GUT/GULF GULP food disposal unit has been designed to allow the offshore oil industry to comply with the International Marpol Law 73/73 Annex 5 concerning food waste discharged into the water. Installation of your TUFF GUT/GULF GULP is simple and easy, just follow the instructions. If you have any questions, call our technical department at 225-274-1083. 1. Read all the information before beginning your installation procedure. 2. Place your unit in the location selected by your company personnel. 3. Your unit requires a 1 inch potable water supply. Simply pipe into the 1/2 pipe connection on the side of the unit. The disposer unit uses very little water, and potable water will give your unit much longer service. 4. Your unit has been designed to discharge the ground-up food waste directly overboard thru a 4 inch drain line. 5. Connect your incoming power as instructed on the following pages.

Both Gulf Gulp and Tuff Gut units now use our TUFF GUT external drive grinder.

Plumbing Instructions
1. Connect the discharge outlet of the TUFF GUT to a 4 inch or larger overboard drain line and install a clean out (T) at rear of unit. 2. If connecting to an existing drain line, it must be completely cleaned out before installation. 3. Make sure you have approximately 100 psi potable water pressure at the water inlet connection. 4. Connect a potable water line to the 1/2 inch NPT pipe fitting on the side of the unit. 5. It not recommended that you put a shut off valve near the units water inlet. This could be left off when the unit is operating and water will not flow into unit causing problems. 6. Unit has an internal water solenoid valve that will open when the start button is pushed. 7. Never grind food in the unit without water flowing thru it. This will cause the grind chamber and/or the drain line to plug up. 8. CLEAN OUT your drain line regularly, food waste can cause the drain line to plug quickly. Disconnect your rear outlet to flush drain line. Do not flush drain line thru grinder unit.

Electrical Installation
The motor control box has been prewired to the disposers motor and solenoid valve and tested at the factory. All that is necessary is to connect your incoming power to the terminal strip inside the control box. Units are shipped prewired for either 230 VAC or 460 VAC 3 Phase. Be sure to check the unit and connect to appropriate voltage. Units must be permanently grounded using a grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors and connected to unit. 1. Open the motor control box and check for supply voltage requirements. 2. Feed incoming wires through a watertight fitting you install in the bottom of the control box.

3. Connect your 3 incoming power leads on the terminal strip at the bottom left of
the control box.

4. Connect incoming grounding wire to the ground screw inside the control box.
Unit must be permanently grounded. 5. The drive motor is protected with a resetable motor overload located in the control box. To reset wait 5 minutes, then sharply push the reset button on the overload. 6. Before closing control box recheck all connections. 7. Make sure control box does not leak.

All electrical connections must be made by experienced electricians in accordance to all applicable electrical codes. Improper installation resulting in damage to the unit or accessories are not covered by the warranty.

Test Procedure
1. Make sure all electrical and plumbing connections are tight and properly installed. 2. Inspect all components and connections for possible shipment damage.

3. Check to be sure disposers cutting teeth are free of all foreign objects and will
turn freely. 4. Close and seal units motor control box door before turning on power to unit. 5. Turn on systems electrical power and water supply.

6. Push start button and determine that the cutting elements turn and the water
flows automatically into unit.

7. Check all mounting and water connections both outside and inside for leaks
and tighten if necessary. 8. Start and stop unit to check if auto reversing controls are properly operating. 9. If disposer fails to operate properly: a) Check wiring connections

b) Determine if Reset overload has trippedreset if necessary.

Water will start to flow immediately after pushing start button. A 110 volt water solenoid valve is located inside unit. This electrical solenoid valve controls water flow to grinding chamber.

Never grind food in the unit without water flowing thru it. This will cause the unit to plug-up.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Instruct all personnel in the correct operating procedure. 1. Always push start button before feeding food into unit. 2. Check for water flow thru unit, water must be flowing thru unit or it will stop-up. 3. Pour food waste into unit slowly, dont overload unit. 4. Allow unit to run for 3 minutes after all food has been ground-up to flush unit. 5. Push stop button when grinding is complete.

WARNING
1. Never put your hands into unit. 2. Never put metal, glass or plastic bags into unit. 3. Never put cooking grease or hot food into unit. 4. If unit jams, it may be to overloading or a foreign object. Stop unit and remove foreign object. 5. If the units overload has tripped, wait 5 minutes before resetting. 6. Never operate unit with safety guards removed.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Check with every use
1. Water must be flowing thru unit when in operation. Make sure water solenoid is operating properly and water flow is sufficient to flush food thru unit. 2. Check for drain line blockage. Do not run unit if your drain line is blocked. Disconnect unit from drain line and clear blockage. Do not try to unstop drainline thru the unit. Do not use high pressure water to flush the grind chamber, this will ruin the shaft seals/bearings.

3. If any unusual noises, such as worn bearings, loose belt or motor noise occurs,
shut unit down and inspect immediately.

Check Monthly
1. Inspection condition of grinding elements and shredder ring. If worn or broken, replace them. REPLACE ALL GRIND COMPONENTS YEARLY. (Order Cutting Kit, Part Number... CUT 10) 2. If unit is grinding slowly or drain line stops up regularly, grinding elements could be worn and need to be replaced. 3. Inspect control box to make sure water is not leaking inside. 4. Inspect cogged belt for wear and tension. Do not over tighten cogged belt. 5. Grease the bottom mounted grinder drive shaft bearing with high quality bearing grease via the zert on the bearing. 6. If water is leaking from the bottom of your grinder unit: a.) Check your drain line for blockage, it is probably plugged. b.) Repack/replace top shaft bearing assembly. c.) Check bottom mounted bearing for water contamination, replace if needed.
