Wayne PLS Series - Manual (Page 2)

Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electric shock.
Never cut off the
round grounding
prong on the power cord. Cutting the
cord or plug will make the pump unsafe
to operate and void the warranty.
2. Turn the pump switch to the 'Off'
position.
3. 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 power
cord directly into GFCI outlet (see
Figure 3).
4. Turn pump switch to the 'On' posi-
tion (see Figure 4). If the pump
does not pump water within 10
minutes, turn off pump and refill
with clean water. If the pump does
not operate after repeated
attempts, check the following:
- Vertical distance of pump to water
level must not be over 20 feet.
The inlet hose
must be a rein-
forced type when pumping from lakes,
ponds, or small streams. Regular gar-
den hose will collapse and lead to
pump failure.
5. A foot valve with strainer should be
used to maintain prime during
operation.
6. Seal all connections in the inlet
hose. An air leak in the fittings,
hose, pipe or connections will draw
air even though no water leaks out.
These inlet leaks will reduce pump
performance and lead to pump fail-
ure.
7. Connect outlet pipe or hose to
pump. The outlet connection is
designed for 1" NPT thread. Rigid
pipe such as PVC or garden hose
may be used. An adapter to garden
hose thread is included (Figure 1).
BOOSTING WATER PRESSURE
Do not run pump
with outlet pipe or
nozzle closed. The hose may burst from
excessive pressure. Use only reinforced
high-pressure hose or pipe for outlet
pipe.
1. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump.
An adapter to garden hose thread is
included (Figure 1).
2. Connect the other end of inlet line
to water supply.
3. Connect outlet pipe or hose to
pump.
Operation
Never run the pump
dry. Running pump
without water will cause seal failure.
Fill pump with water before starting.
1. Remove priming port on pump and
fill with water. Reinstall priming
port on pump (see Figure 2). For
boosting water pressure: Do not
remove priming port. Turn on water
supply.
Risk of electrical
shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
- Suction line must be airtight.
- All valves in suction and discharge
line must be open.
Maintenance
Maintain adequate ventilation for the
pump motor. The motor bearings are
permanently lubricated at the factory.
Additional lubrication is not required.
DRAINING FOR WINTER
Always protect pump and piping
against freezing temperatures. If there
is any danger of freezing, drain the sys-
tem.
1. Disconnect suction and discharge
lines from pump.
2. Remove plug from lower front face
of pump.
3. Drain all piping below the frost line,
or store piping indoors.
4. Store pump indoors.
See Figure 5 for replacement parts.
