Little Giant Wastewater Kits are carefully packaged, inspected and tested to
insure safe operation and delivery. When you receive your unit, examine it
carefully to determine that there are no broken or damaged parts that may have
occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, make notation and notify
the firm that you purchased the pump from. They will assist you in replacement
or repair, if required. Read this manual and the enclosed pump manual carefully.
This unit is designed to pump wastewater from laundry trays, washing
machines, sinks, or dehumidifiers. It is not designed to pump raw sewage, fluids
other than water, or fluids with solids. The inlet screen will remove many solids
over 1/8" diameter, but large amounts of solids can clog screen and result in
pump failure. Maximum fluid temperature is 125 °F. Unit is designed to fit under
most sinks so in many cases it is not necessary to recess the unit into the floor.
ITEMS TO PURCHASE
NOTE: Some state or local codes require all electrical and/or plumbing
connections to be made by a licensed contractor. It is the customer's
responsibility to determine codes involved and to comply with these codes. If
user can install unit, items to purchase are:
1. Inlet piping with trap and union. (Basin cover has 1-1/2" FNPT fitting.)
2. Discharge piping with swing check valve and union. (Basin cover has 1-1/2"
FNPT fitting.)
3. Vent piping. (Basin cover has 2" FNPT fitting.)
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, pull plug before servicing
this pump.
2. Read all instructions and Safety Guidelines thoroughly. Failure to follow
the guidelines and instructions could result in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
3. Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation
must be in accordance with their regulations.
4. During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Caution must be
used to prevent bodily injury when working near the pump.
a. The plug must be removed from the receptacle prior to touching,
servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, use extreme care
when changing fuses. Do not stand in water while changing fuses or
insert your finger into the fuse socket.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All wiring must meet local codes, and a licensed electrical contractor is
recommended. The pump is supplied with a 3-prong vented plug. Plugs must
be plugged into a grounded receptacle and vent tube must remain unobstructed
for proper pump operation. Pump should be on a separate circuit with fuse or
circuit breaker and GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). Be sure electrical
supply matches pump nameplate data. Do not use extension cord. If installed in
basement, plug connection should be four feet or more above floor, especially
if basement floods. Be sure electrical connections cannot be reached by rising
water. Under no circumstances should outlet box or receptacle be located
where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
INSTALLATION
All plumbing must meet local codes. A licensed plumbing contractor is
recommended. All fixtures connected to the WRS-5 Basin Kit must be vented
according to state and local codes
1. Determine proper location for unit. Unit should be located so that inlet is
gravity-fed. Unit will not draw water up from a lower level. Position and level
basin. Keep basin away from any item that could puncture basin. Position
selected should be convenient to inlet, discharge and vent piping and
electrical supply.
2. Plumb inlet. Using 1-1/2" threaded pipe, plumb inlet to basin cover fitting.
Use a P-trap and a union next to the basin. Use pipe joint compound and
hand tighten only on plastic fittings. Do not reduce below 1-1/2" piping. A
1-1/2" MNPT x 2" slip pipe adapter is provided if a 2" inlet is required.
3. Plumb discharge. Using 1" threaded pipe, plumb discharge to basin cover
fitting. Use a swing check valve no more than 3" (7.6 cm) from top of basin

cover and a union. Be sure check valve is installed in proper flow direction.
If check valve is installed backwards, no water will flow out of unit. Be sure
discharge piping is sealed with pipe joint compound and that lift height of
pump is not exceeded. Hand tighten only on plastic fittings. A 1-1/2" MNPT
x 2" slip pipe adapter is provided if a 2" discharge is required.
4. Plumb vent. Plumb vent using 2" threaded pipe to fitting in basin cover. Use
pipe joint compound on threads and hand tighten only on plastic fittings.
The basin must be vented in accordance with state and local codes. The
vent is essential for proper switch operation and must not be omitted or
restricted. CAUTION: Do not use a mechanical vent with this product. A
mechanical vent will cause improper operation of the automatic switch. A 2"
MNPT x 1-1/2" Slip pipe adapter is provided if a 1-1/2" vent is required.
5. Test unit. Connect power cord to electrical supply as stated in ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS section. Secure power cord to piping with ties or tape. Fill
unit with water through inlet. Pump should turn on with 6" - 7-3/4" (15.2 cm
- 19.7 cm) of water in tank, and turn off when 3/4" - 1-1/2" (1.9 cm - 3.8 cm)
of water is left in tank.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, shut off water inlet and
disconnect power cord from supply outlet. Pump may become hot during
operation. Allow pump to cool before servicing.
1. Basin Screen: Remove (4) 1/4-20 screen plate screws, plastic cover plate,
seal ring, and screen. Clean inlet screen using a mild detergent and water.
Examine o-ring and if deformed, replace with new o-ring. See replacement
parts list.
2. Basin: Sediment may build up in basin causing pump to operate improperly.
Remove (10) 1/4-20 screws from cover. Remove cord grommet and loosen
cords to allow slack and then remove cover.
3. Remove pump and clean basin using a mild detergent and water.
Reassemble in reverse order.
4. Torque screws 18 - 20 in.-lbs (21 - 23 cm-kg)
5. If pump alignment plate is removed, it must be reinstalled per pump
alignment diagram.
6. Pump: Sediment or lint can clog pump and cause improper operation. If
necessary, remove pump and pull off the pressed-in screen, clean using
a mild detergent and water, and reinstall. Plastic pump base may also be
removed to clean around impeller and inside base. Remove the 6 base
screws and clean base using a mild detergent and water. Do not remove
impeller. When reinstalling base, be sure seal ring is seated properly in
groove and torque screws to 10 - 15 in.-lbs. (12-17 cm-kg) See pump
manual for other information.

Les ensembles pour eaux usées Little Giant sont soigneusement empaquetés,
inspectés et testés afin que leur livraison et leur utilisation soit sans danger. Au
moment de la réception de la pompe, bien examiner celle-ci afin de s'assurer
FR
qu'aucune pièce n'a été cassée ou endommagée pendant le transport. Si tel
n'est pas le cas, en aviser le détaillant. Il vous aidera dans le remplacement ou
les réparations qui s'imposent. Lire attentivement le présent manuel ainsi que le
manuel de la pompe ci-inclus.
Cette pompe est conçue pour pomper les eaux usées des bacs à linge sale,
des machines à laver, des éviers ou des déshumidificateurs. Elle n'est pas
conçue pour pomper des eaux d'égout, des liquides autres que de l'eau ou
des liquides comportant des solides. L'écran d'entrée retiendra beaucoup de
particules dépassant 1/8 po de diamètre; toutefois, une grande quantité de
matières solides peut bloquer l'écran et causer une panne de la pompe. La
température du liquide ne doit pas dépasser 52 °C. La pompe est conçue pour
aller sous la majorité des éviers; il est donc dans la plupart des cas inutile de
l'encastrer dans le plancher.
ARTICLES À ACHETER
REMARQUE : Certains règlements locaux ou provinciaux exigent que tous les
raccordements électriques ou de plomberie, ou les deux, soient effectués par
un entrepreneur autorisé. Il incombe à l'utilisateur de déterminer les codes qui
s'appliquent et de les respecter. Si l'utilisateur est habilité à installer la pompe,
il devra fournir :
1. La tuyauterie d'entrée, avec clapet et union (le couvercle du réservoir
possède un raccord femelle NPT de 1-1/2 po).
2. La tuyauterie de sortie, avec clapet de non-retour et union (le couvercle du
réservoir possède un raccord femelle NPT de 1-1/2 po).
3. La tuyauterie d'aération (le couvercle du réservoir possède un raccord
femelle NPT de 2 po).
