General Safety Information

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and understanding how your utility pump works.

Safety Signal Words

followed someone may be injured.

indicates important information,

that if not followed, may cause

damage to the equipment or flooding .

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in fatal electric
shock, fire, property damage, and/or serious personal
injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area

• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away
while using pump. Distractions can result in
mistakes.

• Do not use an extension cord. This increases

the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a
properly grounded GFCI outlet closer to the pump.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when using this pump. Do not
attempt to use this pump while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.

A moment of inattention may result in serious
personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

Electrical Safety

• This pump must be plugged into a properly
installed, and grounded GFCI outlet in
accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user.

• Electrical wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Improper wiring could result in
fatal electrical shock.

• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to

carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of

electrical shock.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.

Service

• Pump service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified repair
personnel could result in injury and may void the
warranty.

• When servicing a pump, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or
injury and may void the warranty.

Utility Pump Safety

• Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids

such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, solvents,
thinners, etc. Do not use in a flammable
and/or explosive atmosphere. Pump should
only be used to pump clear water. Improper
use could result in personal injury and/or
death.

• If there is 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. Failure
to follow this warning could result in fatal electrical
shock.

• Always disconnect the power source before

attempting to install, service, relocate, or maintain
the pump. Never handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface or in water when the pump is connected to
power. Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury and/or death.

Description and Specifications

Description

The Submersible Utility Pump is designed for non­automatic use in water. The unit is equipped with a
3-prong grounding type power cord. The motor is oil
filled and sealed for cooler operation. The discharge
fitting is designed for convenient attachment to a
garden hose.

• 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. This pump is not suitable for use with
aquatic life. Pump damage or failure could occur if
used in these applications and will void the warranty.

Pump Installation

• Pump should only be used to pump clear water. Do
not use to pump fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, or
kerosene. Do not use in a flammable or explosive
atmosphere. Improper use could result in personal
injury and/or death.

To prevent property damage, serious injury, or
death, proper use of the pump is required. The
following procedures should be followed:

• Always disconnect the power source before
attempting to install, service, relocate, or
maintain the pump. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in water
when pump is connected to power source.

1. This pump has been designed to attach to a

standard garden hose. Thread the female end of
the garden hose to the discharge on the pump.

2. To reduce leakage between the pump and the

hose, place a hose washer (not included) on the
garden hose before use to the pump.

3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose

before starting the pump. This will help remove
any kinks or binds in the hose and allow the unit to
pump with less restriction.

4. Place pump on a hard surface in the water. Do not

set the pump directly on mud or sand surfaces.
This will cause the inlet screen to clog.

2

Do not place pump directly on
clay, gravel, or any loose or sandy surfaces. These
surfaces contain small stones or sand that may clog
or damage the pump. This could result in pump failure
causing flooding and property damage.

5. The water level must be at least 1/2 inch for the

pump to operate. Water levels less than 1/2 inch
will not allow the impeller to contact water and no
water will be pumped.

6. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the

plug is missing the grounding prong or the cord is
damaged, do not use the pump until the cord has
been replaced.

Never cut off grounding prong or
use an adapter.

7. Plug the power cord into a grounded 120-volt AC

power outlet. Make sure the electrical outlet is
grounded and is rated for at least 15 amps. The
pump will start operating as soon as the power
cord is plugged into the power outlet.

WARRANTY & SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE

8. The pump will remove water down to 1/8 inch of

the surface the pump was placed on.

9. The pump should be unplugged once the water

has reached the 1/8 inch height, or pump will run
dry.

Do not allow pump to run dry.
The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.
Operating the pump without water will damage the
shaft seal and cause pump failure.

When routing electrical cord protect cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chemicals. Do not kink
cord; replace any damaged cord immediately.

Maintenance Instructions

Always disconnect the
electrical supply or unplug the pump 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 shock.
Only a qualified technician should repair this unit.

Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.

1. Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign
objects. Inspect inlet at beginning of each use.

2. The motor housing is completely sealed and
requires no service. Disassembly of the motor
housing or alteration of the power cord could result
in fatal electrical shock.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

Service and repair work on this
pump must be performed by qualified repair personnel.
Pump should be taken to a Independent Authorized
Service Center or returned to the factory. All repairs
made by WAYNE service facilities are warranted against
defects in material and workmanship.

When servicing this pump, only
identical Ace replacement parts should be used.
Failure to follow these steps may create a risk of
flooding, property damage, fatal electrical shock, or
other serious injury.
