Electric shock hazard! GFCI receptacles will provide
protection against line to ground faults only. The ground fault receptacle does
NOT limit the magnitude of fault current and will NOT prevent electrical shock.
Risque de choc électrique! Le disjoncteur de fuite à
la terre fournira une protection uniquement contre les défauts entre les lignes
et les fuites à la terre. Le boîtier du disjoncteur de fuite à la terre ne limite PAS
l’amplitude du courant de défaut et n’empêchera PAS les chocs électriques.
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.
Cette pompe doit être branchée dans une prise
correctement installée et une prise équipée d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre,
conformément à tous les codes et règlements applicables. Ne jamais retirer la
broche de mise à la terre et ne modifier, en aucun cas, la fiche. Ne pas utiliser
de prises d’adaptateur. Vérifier avec un électricien qualifié que la prise est bien
mise à la terre. Si la pompe présente un dysfonctionnement électrique ou une
panne, la mise à la terre fournit un chemin de faible résistance pour éloigner
l’électricité de l’utilisateur.
Before each use inspect pump, power cord and plug
for damage. If damage is present DO NOT USE pump.
Avant chaque utilisation, vérifier que la pompe, le
cordon d’alimentation et la prise ne sont pas endommagés. Si des dommages
sont présents, NE PAS UTILISER la pompe.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS MANUAL
Service work on this pump must be performed by a
qualified repair personnel. ONLY use identical WAYNE replacement parts.
Do not suspend pump by discharge pipe. Do not place
pump directly on clay, gravel, leaves or any loose or sandy surfaces. These surfaces
contain small stones, sand, or debris that may clog or damage the pump. This could
result in pump failure causing flooding and property damage.
Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic water
detector. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Overriding this pump
feature can cause the pump to run dry and may damage the shaft seal and cause
pump failure and void warranty.
In small areas a check valve is required to prevent
backflow. Without a check valve the pump may cycle continuously and potentially
wear out the pump components.
NOTE: Acceptable for Indoor and Outdoor Use
Use an outdoor rated extension cord of the appropriate
gauge when necessary. Confirm the current (Amp) rating of the pump and the
length of the extension cord needed.

This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and
may be also used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools.
A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such
that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so
that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its
original integrity. Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot
tub or spa.
Cette pompe est destinée à être utilisée avec des
piscines installées en permanence et peut également être utilisée avec des cuves
thermales et des spas si elle est indiquée. Ne pas utiliser avec des piscines stockables.
Une piscine installée de façon permanente est construite dans ou sur le sol ou dans un
bâtiment de telle sorte qu’elle ne peut pas être facilement démontée pour le stockage.
Une piscine pouvant être stockée est construite de façon à pouvoir être facilement
démontée pour le stockage et remontée à son intégrité d’origine. Ne l’installez pas
dans une enceinte extérieure ou sous la jupe d’un spa ou d’un spa.
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Cette pompe a été évaluée pour une utilisation avec
de l’eau uniquement.
DO NOT place the pump on a weak, damaged, or
leaking pool cover. Placing the pump on a damaged pool cover could cause
the cover to give way, or could allow the pump to remove treated swimming
water from the pool in addition to rainwater.
This pump is not designed to handle salt water, brine,
laundry discharge, or any other application which may contain caustic chemicals,
highly chlorinated water, 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 warranty.
When routing the electrical cord protect cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chemicals. Do not kink cord, do not use with damaged
cord.
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 the water level is approaching the minimum pumping
limit, the water removal rate may slow, and the pump may become noisy. This is due
to air being drawn into the pump in addition to water. During this time the pump may
still remove water. Once water has stopped coming out of the hose unplug pump to
avoid running dry.

DESCRIPTION
This portable, Auto On-Off Pool Cover pump is designed for
automatic removal of water, from a pool or spa cover. The units are
equipped with a 25 ft. 3-prong grounding type power cord and its
3/4 in. adapter can be used for convenient attachment to a standard
garden hose. This pump is not to be used to empty the pool.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION
PUMPING HEIGHT
When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has
not reached the discharge outlet can flow back through the pump
when the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in
small areas to rise enough to re-start the pump.
1. This pump has been designed with a 3/4” garden hose discharge
connection. Thread the female end of the garden hose to the
male end of the garden hose adapter.
2. Use a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose for correct
pump operation.
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. With pump unplugged set the pump on the pool cover, where
water will collect. Do not set the pump directly on mud, sand
surfaces or in leaves. For best results make sure the strainer base
is making full contact with a clean area of the pool cover. This
will allow the strainer to properly filter debris and help prevent
clogging of the pump. If necessary clear an area of the pool cover
before placing the pump. For further placement techniques see
(Figures A-E).
5. The water level must be at least 5/8 inches for the pump to prime,
and operate. Water levels less than 5/8 inches will not allow the
pump to prime, therefore no water will be moved.
6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI protected
outlet. If the water level is greater than 5/8 inches the pump
will start once plugged in. A priming delay of 2 seconds is
programmed into the control to allow time for air to escape from
the pumping chamber.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT’D)
5. When temperatures drop below freezing, remove pump from
service and store indoors to protect pump from damage due to
ice. The pump has a unique protection circuit to protect the motor
from a locked impeller condition possibly caused by debris buildup
or from a “frozen” impeller situation caused by ice formation. When
the pump is activated and a locked impeller condition is detected
the unit will automatically shutdown to protect the motor from
overheating. The pump will continue this on/off cycle for a period
of time to attempt to “free” the impeller until eventually the unit
will remain off for a period of 12 hours checking twice a day for a
“freed” impeller. Once the pump is able to operate correctly the
pump will resume normal operation. To reset this delay without
waiting 12 hours momentarily unplug the pump.
