4. Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water
has filled the sump to a depth of
approximately 13“. The pump will
stop when the water depth is
approximately 7”. The pump will
recycle thereafter as required.
5. Do not operate the pump unless it is
submerged in water. Dry running
causes pump failure.
6. The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
7. 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.
8. 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.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the
electrical supply before
attempting to install,
service, relocate or
perform any maintenance. If the power
source is out of sight, lock and tag in
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded 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
float switch cord plug directly into
a 120 volt outlet.
3. Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into the back of the float
switch cord plug (See Fig. 2).

Symptom
Possible Cause(s)
Corrective Action
Pump will not start
or run
Pump starts and
stops too often
Pump will not shut
off or thermal
protector turns off
Pump operates but
delivers little or no
water
1. Blown fuse
2. Low line voltage
3. Defective motor
4. Defective float switch
5. Impeller
6. Float obstructed
1. Backflow of water from
piping
2. Faulty float switch
1. Defective float switch
2. Obstacle in piping
3. Float obstructed
1. Low line voltage
2. Plugged impeller
1. If blown, replace with proper sized fuse or reset breaker.
2. If voltage is under 108 volts, check wiring size.
3. Replace pump
4. Replace float switch
5. If impeller will not turn, remove housing and remove blockage
6. Make sure float move freely up and down
1. Install or replace check valve (Wayne No. 66005-WYN)
2. Replace float switch
1. Replace float switch
2. Remove pump and clean pump and piping
3. Make sure float moves freely up and down
1. If voltage is under 108 volts, check wiring size.
2. Clean out impeller
the open (off) position to prevent
unexpected power application. Failure
to do so could result in fatal electrical
shock. Only qualified electricians
should repair this unit. Improper repair
could result in fatal electrical shock.
1. Let the pump cool for a minimum
of two hours before servicing
because the pump contains hot oil
under pressure and the motor is
hot.
2. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. If repairs are required,
see troubleshooting chart.
4. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspect
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
5. Pump should be checked monthly
for proper operation.
This pump contains
dielectric oil for
cooling. This oil can be harmful to the
environment. Check the state
environmental laws before disposing
this oil.
