Description

The submersible pump is designed for home
sump applications. The unit is equipped with
an 8-ft long, 3-prong grounding type power
cord. Motor is oil filled and sealed for cooler
running and designed to operate under
water. A float switch is provided for
automatic pump operation. This pump is not
suitable for aquatic life.

Unpacking

Inspect this unit before it is used.
Occasionally, products are damaged during
shipment. If the pump or components are
damaged, return the unit to the place of
purchase for replacement. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.

General Safety Information

Do not use to pump
flammable or explosive
fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do
not use in a flammable and/or explosive
atmosphere. Pump should only be used
to 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.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual Submersible Series

350705-001 7/05

A backup system
should be used.

Wayne offers Model ESP15.

Assembly

VERTICAL FLOAT SWITCH (FLOAT ONLY)

Place the float bracket onto the handle of
the motor housing and slide the switch
assembly securely into place.

Installation

1. Install pump in a sump pit with minimum
size as shown in Figure 2. Construct
sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic.

2. The unit should be located and rest on a
solid, level foundation. Do not place
pump directly on clay, earth, gravel or
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 object,

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.

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.

REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes! Attach it to this manual or file it for safekeeping.

4. 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 cut­in/out levels. 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
the open (off) position to prevent
unexpected power application. Failure
to do so could result in fatal electrical

Operation (Continued)

Risk of electrical

shock! This pump
is 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. 3).

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 check valve kit #66005-WYN)

2. Replace float switch

1. Replace float switch

2. Remove pump and clean pump and piping

3. Make sure float move freely up and down

1. If voltage is under 108 volts, check wiring size

2. Clean out impeller

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.
