manual abstract
Outdoor installations should be at a sufficient depth to ensure protection from freezing. Maintenance Tips • Every three or four months: 1) Clean the pump screen or inlet opening. If your sump collects the discharge from an automatic washing machine, cleaning will be required more often. (Before removing the pump be sure to disconnect the unit from electrical power; and reconnect after completion of cleaning); 2) Pour enough water into the sump to cycle the pump and assure its proper functioning. • Annually: Remove and clean the pump. Clean the sump pit also. Safety Information and Introduction WARNING Before handling this pump, always disconnect the power first. This pump should only be serviced by a qualified person or a factory trained person. CAUTION This instruction manual includes necessary items for installation, operation and maintenance. Read this manual carefully to ensure correct installation, operation and maintenance. Be sure to keep this instruction manual on hand for future reference. General Specifications CAUTION Be careful not to exceed the given specifications in the use of your products. Check the nameplate for your pump’s head (HEAD), discharge volume (CAPACITY), speed (SPEED), motor voltage and current. Other specifications are noted in the chart below: Model Discharge Diameter (Inch) Motor Output (HP) Motor Phase Voltage Weight (LB) WSP33AA 11/4 1/3 1 115 11 WSP53AA 11/2 1/2 1 115 27 WSP73AA 11/2 3/4 1 115 27 Tools Needed • Screw driver • Pipe wrench • Adjustable wrench (medium-large) • Hacksaw with 24-tooth blade for cutting plastic pipe • Knife or round file for smoothing inside of all plastic pipe connections Materials Needed • PVC or ABS pipe cement (read manufacturer’s instructions carefully) • PVC or ABS pipe; – 11/4" for WSP33AA – 11/2" for WSP53AA, WSP73AA • PVC adapter – 11/4" for WSP33AA – 11/2" for WSP53AA, WSP73AA • In line check valve • Sump basin 18” or larger diameter plastic, fiberglass or concrete. (See page 5 for minimum diameter basin size by pump capacity.) • Optional: gate valve (see installation drawing on page 11) Installation Instructions Step 1 Inspection:Your pump has been carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping. However, occasional damage does occur due to rough handling. Carefully inspect the pump for damage that could cause it to fail. Step 2: Attach desired length of PVC or ABS discharge pipe to pump outlet, using PVC adapter (11/4" pipe and adapter for WSP33AA, 11/2" WSP53AA, WSP73AA). Make sure open end of pipe will be above top of basin. Step 3: Clear sump basin of any water, debris or sediment. Step 4: Lower pump into basin. Step 5: Attach in line check valve to discharge pipe 12" to 18" above pump discharge with arrow pointing away from the pump (with the flow). Connect other end of check valve securely to drain pipe and tighten clamps. Note:Do not put check valve directly into pump discharge opening. Step 6: Drill a 1/8" relief hole in the discharge pipe 5" above pipe connection to pump. Step 7: Plug in pump and fill sump basin with water to test unit. Pump should turn on at 13" to 14" water level. Allow pump to go through several ON-OFF cycles to assure satisfactory operation. Note:If pump does not operate properly, see the troubleshooting checklist on page 14. Septic Tank Installation The WSP pumps can be used to pump septic tank effluent (not containing greater than 3/8'' solids), but must be installed as follows: • Install pump in separate compartment at the discharge side of the septic tank. Never install pump in main tank where sludge collects. • Use with a junction box. WARNING: Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. These pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NEPA 70-1984. Electrical information • Pumps are 115 V, 60 Hz and are grounded to prevent electrical shock. WARNING: Risk of electric shock—this pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding- type receptacle. • Use a separate 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block with the pump. • Do not use an extension cord with the pump. • Do not cut off the ground pin or use an adapter fitting. • Do not work on the pump or switch until any or all power cords are unplugged. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage. 1. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE CERTAIN pump power source is disconnected. 2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be complete before priming pump. Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump professionals. 3. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump should be connected to a separate 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse bl...
