Operation
IMPORTANT: The key to eective and trouble free operation of your Endura® XL interceptor is regular and
eective maintenance. You should consider your facility to be in partnership with the local authorities, providing an
eective means of FOG management that is mandated to protect your business, your community and the environment.
Dynamic
Inlet Bae:
The Inlet bae design in your Endura® XL
Interceptor is uniquely accessible once in service.
Having removed the cover above the inlet, a simple
pull/push motion on the handle opens and closes
the front shell, allowing access for maintenance and
cleaning. This action also opens the inlet drain to
its full diameter allowing the upstream drains to be
cleaned without obstruction.
This bae can be extended to maintain its function
and value even when buried at full depth below
grade. Refer to installation instructions for riser
extension available on-line or with Kit
40100AX35.

Food Solids and Debris:
Endura® XL is designed to manage up to 15% of its volume for solids
management. Remember however that your grease interceptor is an engineered
system that is not designed to accommodate large amounts of solid material. This
will impact the operational capacity and performance of the unit and cause the
foul odors often associated with grease interceptors if not removed regularly.
It is strongly recommended that a solids interceptor be installed upstream of the grease interceptor and that all entry points
to the drains running to the interceptor be adequately protected with appropriate screens to prevent debris nding its way
into the system. Likewise, best kitchen practice recommends that all plates, crockery, pans, etc., be scraped to remove lose
food debris prior to washing. Again sinks should be operated with the respective screens.
If you are experiencing frequent issues in regard to blockages or accumulation in your interceptor you must address the
appropriate kitchen practices. DO NOT MODIFY THE INTERCEPTOR OR MEANS OF FLOW CONTROL IN ANY MANNER. Doing
so voids the performance approval required by your local jurisdiction and will leave your operation exposed to the risk of
signicant nes and non-compliance citations.

SAFETY FIRST! Ensure that any operatives or employees that attend
to the grease interceptor are adequately protected. As a minimum it is
recommended that protective gloves, eyewear and a mask are provided
and used.
Accessibility:
It is the responsibility of the restaurant operator to maintain
safe, clear and unobstructed access to the interceptor at all
times. This facilitates inspection by local ocials, emergency
access in the event of an issue and for the regular pumping of
the interceptor required to keep it in good working order.
