USAGE
The E10 is a submersible wastewater effluent pump
designed specifically for individual residential and
pressure applications. These pumps are for residential
domestic use only and are not to be used for pumping
commercial or industrial effluent such as from motels,
schools, apartments, factories, etc.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
This product and related
accessories contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
INSPECTING PUMP
Before making any piping or electrical connections,
check the pump for shipping damage or cracks. Using
a flat screwdriver placed in the slot on the shaft end,
turn the shaft and impeller to be sure they are free.
CAUTION: NEVER WORK ON THE UNIT WITHOUT
DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD.
POWER SUPPLY
The E10 effluent pump should be connected only to
a 230 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz power source. The
pump will draw approximately 8.2 amperes at minimum
flow and 10.5 amperes at maximum flow rate. The
pump must be connected to a grounded power socket.
DO NOT cut off the ground pin from
the power cord plug.
POWER CORD
A 20 foot power cord is attached to the effluent pump
via a quick-disconnect positive sealing socket design.
The power cord should be replaced if it has been
damaged in any way or the cord jacket has become
brittle with age.
FLOAT CONTROL
The float control has the same type of cord end
connector as the power cord. The “OFF” and “ON”
cycle times can be increased by setting a slightly longer
tether length between the clamp and the float.
MOTOR
The E10 effluent pump contains a single phase,
capacitor start, 3450 RPM motor. Overload protection
is provided by an on-winding thermal protector
which opens upon experiencing higher than normal
temperatures. The protector will reset automatically
upon cooling and the motor will restart. The motor
chamber contains dielectric transformer oil to provide
good heat transfer and lubrication of the ball bearings
and seal; no other lubrication is required.
CAUTION – THE E10 EFFLUENT PUMP SHOULD
NEVER BE WORKED ON WITHOUT FIRST
DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD.
CLEANING THE IMPELLER AND
VOLUTE CASE
1. Unplug the pump.
2. Remove the four (4) bolts that hold the volute case in
place. CAUTION: Do not remove the two (2) bolts
that hold the seal plate to the motor housing.
3. Remove volute case and clean. Check that the
discharge passage is not blocked with debris. Also,
clean around impeller if necessary. Do not remove
the impeller as oil will leak past the shaft seal.
4. By turning the impeller clockwise, check that the
impeller and motor turn. There will be some drag
due to shaft seal friction.
5. Replace the volute and start the four (4) bolts.
Tighten the bolts down evenly and firmly; do not
overtighten.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOMS
Pump does not run or hum. See A, B, C, D, E or F.
Pump runs but does not deliver water.
See G, H, I, J, K or L.
Pump runs and pumps out sump but
does not stop. See M.
Pump runs but delivers only small
amount of water. See I, J, K, L or N.
Fuse blows or circuit breaker trips when
pump starts. See K, L, N, O or P.
Motor runs for short time then stops.
Then after short period starts again. Indicates
tripping overload caused by symptom shown.
See K, L, N or P.
SOLUTIONS
A. Line circuit breaker may be off; or fuse, if used, may
be blown or loose.
B. Water level in sump may be too low. Run in more
water.
C. Pump cord plug may not be making contact in
receptacle.
D. If pump is using the series cord plug, the two plugs

F. If all symptoms check OK, motor winding may be
open; take to service center for check.
G. Check valve may be installed backward. Arrow on
valve points in direction of flow.
H. Discharge shut-off valve, if used, may be closed.
I. Pump may be air locked. Start and stop several
times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check vent
hole on pump case for plugging.
J. Pump head may be too high. Pump cannot deliver
water over 108 ft. vertical. Horizontal distance does
not affect pumping, except loss due to friction.
K. Inlet holes in pump base may be clogged. Remove
pump and clean out openings.
L. Impeller or volute openings may be plugged or
partially plugged. Remove pump and clean per
maintenance instructions.
M. Float is stuck in up position. Be sure float operates
freely in basin.
N. Pump impeller may be partialIy clogged causing
motor to run slow, resulting in motor overload.
O. Fuse size or circuit breaker is too small. Must be 15
amps.
P. Defective motor stator. Return to Myers service
center.
