Wayne EWP10 - Manual (Page 2)

13. The float should be set so that
the primary pump starts before
the EWP10. Insert the float rod
through the “L” bracket hole.
Install a rubber grommet onto the
float rod, then insert the float rod
through the automatic control
valve arm and then install the
second rubber grommet on the
top of the float rod.
14. If necessary, adjust the length of
the connecting hose and attach
to the EWP10 pump with the
supplied hose clamp.
15. Turn on the water supply and
check the installation for joint
leaks and proper operation.
Simulate water activating the
water powered backup system
by raising the float to trip the
automatic control valve arm.
Hold the float in the up position
while checking the system for
leaks. Lower the float to turn off
the system and fix any leaks in
the water supply line. Retest if
necessary.
16. Fill the pit with water until the
float trips the automatic control
valve arm. The system will lower
the water level in the pit to the
shut off point of the EWP10.
Verify this on/off level of the
EWP10 is higher than the on level
of the main sump pump.
17. Reconnect power to the main
sump pump. The water level in
the pit should lower to the off
point of the main sump pump.
Test the system again to verify
that the main sump pump and
the EWP10 work together.
Operation
Always disconnect the power
source before attempting to
install, service, relocate or
maintain the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Risk of electrical shock! Use a
GFCI receptacle to reduce the
risk of fatal electrical shock.
Cutting the cord or plug will void
the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.

Troubleshooting Chart
Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
No Water is pumped
out 1. Water supply valve closed
2. Automatic valve closed
3. Float does not rise with water
level
4. Suction or ejector clogged
5. Water level below suction in
sump
6. Improper function or missing
check valve in primary pump
discharge
7. Discharge line clogged
8. Pumping height more than
15 ft.
9. Water pressure less than 40 psi
1. Open supply valve
2. Check manually the valve operation
3. Check for obstruction of float action
4. Clean pump inlet
5. Adjust the float rod to shut off pump prior to low water
level
6. Install check valve in primary pump discharge
7. Check all discharge lines
8. Reduce pumping elevation to less than 15 ft
9. Run a 3/4” direct line from water supply to reduce friction
loss in pipe
Pump does not pump
water to full capacity 1. Water supply partially opened
2. Automatic valve partially
opened
3. Suction or ejector partially
clogged
4. Leaky primary pump check
valve
5. Discharge line partially clogged
1. Open supply valve
2. Check the valve operation
3. Clean pump inlet
4. Replace check valve in primary pump discharge
5. Check all discharge pipes
Pump does not
shut off 1. Automatic valve does not shut
off
2. Float is obstructed
1. Check the valve operation
2. Check for obstruction or adjust rubber grommet to proper
off and on position
