INSTALLATION MANUAL
5
6. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and
state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is required. Do not use flex
hosing in a permanent application.
7. Install a check valve (required) to prevent back-flow. The
Wayne check valve (62061-WYN1) may be positioned just
above the basin to allow easy removal of the pump for
cleaning and service.
8. Install a gate valve or ball valve if required by local, regional
or state code.
9. Secure power supply cord to discharge pipe using cable or
zip ties to prevent possible switch entanglement.
10. Connect pump power supply cord to a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
11. Fill the basin/pit with water. The pump will start when the
water level has reached the switch-on level.
12. The pump will stop when the water level has reached the
switch-off level.
13. Verify the switch is operating without any obstruction from
the pump, piping and basin.
14. Fill the basin/pit with water again. While the pump is
draining the basin/pit, verify the discharge pipe is carrying
the water to a point at least 3 ft. away from the foundation.
If the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures,
the pipe must be positioned in a downward slope away
from the foundation so any remaining water will drain away
and not freeze.
15. Secure the basin cover and gasket to the basin to prevent
debris from falling into the basin, prevent personal injury,
and to contain gases and/or odors.
TYPICAL SUMP INSTALLATION
1. This installation must be in accordance with the National
Electric Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
2. Use a basin (purchased separately) or pit that is large enough
to accommodate the pump.
3. Clean the basin/pit of all debris.
4. If using a basin, place the pump directly on the bottom of
the basin. To prevent damage set the pump on a solid, level
surface. Do not place pump directly on clay, earth, gravel or
sand. A brick or block must be installed under the pump to
provide a solid base.
5. Position pump so the switch is away from the inlet so
switch is clear from incoming water. Verify the switch has
at least 1 in. clearance to the side wall of the basin and is
free to move throughout its movement. If optional control
device or float is used, follow mounting instruction supplied
with device or float.
