OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & PARTS MANUAL
For parts, product & service information visit www.waynepumps.com
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. The pump
must be installed in compliance with all local and national
codes.
2.
Connect this product to a grounded circuit equipped
with a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) device.
3.
Before installing this product, have the electrical circuit checked by
an electrician to ensure proper grounding.
4.
BE CERTAIN the pump power source is disconnected
before installing, servicing, or maintaining the pump.
5.
Check motor voltage setting on motor end plate and
make sure the line voltage of the electrical current supply
is correct (see figure 5 on page 3).
6.
Be sure the water source and piping is clear of sand, dirt and scale.
Debris WILL clog pump and WILL void warranty.
7.
Failure to protect pump and piping from freezing COULD cause
severe damage and WILL void the warranty.
8.
Do NOT run pump dry. Follow priming instructions.
Pump motor is equipped with an automatic
resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overheating
because of operating pump at low heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
connections, excessive surrounding air temperature, inadequate
ventilation, and/or defective motor or pump.
INSTALLATION
Protect pump from the elements by installing in a basement, garage, tool
shed or pump house. Install the pump so the center line of the pump
is as close as possible to the water level. Keep installation area clear to
provide access for service and maintenance. Protect the pump against
flooding and excess moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate ventilation. The surrounding
temperature should not exceed 100°F (38°C) or nuisance tripping of the
motor may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results. Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.
When using galvanized pipe, provide independent supports for both
suction and discharge piping near the pump to avoid strain on the pump.
Minimize use of elbows and fittings to reduce friction loss. Refer to the
friction loss chart (on page 5) for specific information.
Increase diameter of suction or discharge piping if length is over 50 feet.
