pump clear water. Personal injury and/or
property damage could result.
This pump is not
designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge or any
other application which may contain caustic
chemicals and/or foreign materials. Pump
damage could occur if used in these
applications and will void warranty.
All wiring
must be
performed by a qualified
electrician. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fatal
electrical shock.
If the basement has
water or moisture on
the floor, do not walk on wet area until all
power is turned off. If the shutoff box is in
the basement, call an electrician. Remove
pump and either repair or replace. Failure
to follow this warning could result in fatal
electrical shock.

sandy surface. These surfaces contain
small stones, gravel, sand, etc. that may
clog or damage the pump and cause
pump failure.
Flood risk. If flexible
discharge hose is
used, make sure pump is secured in sump
pit to prevent movement. Failure to secure
pump could allow pump movement and
switch interference and prevent pump
from starting or stopping.
3. Thread check valve (Wayne offers Model
66005-WYN) into pump body carefully
to avoid stripping or cross threading. Do
not use pipe joint sealant.
4. Connect 1-1/2” rigid pipe to rubber boot
on check valve. Reverse boot for 1-1/4”
diameter pipe. Tighten hose clamps.
Support pump and
piping when
assembling and after installation. Failure to
do so could cause piping to break, pump to
fail, etc. which could result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
5. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged cords immediately.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure there is adequate
room for the switch to operate.
6. A sump pit cover must be installed to
prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.

WARNING
Operation
Always disconnect
the power source
before attempting to install, service, relocate
or maintain the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to electrical
power. Never handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on wet or
damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical
shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
is required.
Risk of
electrical
shock! This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment
plug. Use a grounded GFCI receptacle to
reduce the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding prong.
Cutting the cord or plug will void the warranty
and make the pump inoperable.
2. This pump is only for use on 120 Volt
(single-phase), 60 hz, 15 amp service and
is equipped with a 3-
conductor cord and 3-
prong, grounding type
plug. Insert the power cord
plug directly into a 120 volt
GFCI-protected outlet. (See
Fig. 2)
3. Fill sump with water. The
pump will start automatically when the
water has filled the sump to the cut-in
level. The pump will stop when the
water reaches the cut-out level. See
specifications for cut-in/out levels. The
pump will recycle thereafter as required.
4. Do not operate the pump unless it is
submerged in water. Dry running causes
pump failure.
5
The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
6. While the pump is draining the pit, verify
that the discharge piping is carrying the
water to a point several feet away from
the foundation.
7. If pump discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperature, the exposed line
must be pitched to drain. Trapped water
will freeze and damage the pump.
