Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation and setup of your WAYNE TSC130 pump:
- Placement: Position the pump on a solid, level surface in the area to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water for optimal operation and cooling.
- Discharge Hose Connection: Attach a standard 3/4 inch garden hose to the brass discharge adapter at the top of the pump. For higher flow rates, a 1-1/4 inch hose can be connected directly to the pump's discharge port. Secure the hose with a clamp if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Discharge Route: Route the discharge hose to a suitable drainage area, ensuring the water will not return to the area being drained. Avoid kinks or sharp bends in the hose that could restrict flow.
- Power Connection: Plug the pump's power cord into a grounded 100-volt electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for added safety.

Operating Instructions
Once the pump is set up, follow these steps to operate it:
- Ensure Submersion: Verify that the pump is fully submerged in the water you intend to remove. Operating the pump dry can cause damage.
- Activate Power: Plug the pump into the grounded electrical outlet. The pump will begin operating immediately.
- Monitor Operation: Observe the pump's operation to ensure water is being discharged effectively. The pump can remove water down to 1/8 inch of the surface.
- Deactivate Power: Once the desired water level is reached or the area is drained, unplug the pump from the electrical outlet to stop operation.
- Allow Cooling: After use, allow the pump to cool down before handling or storing.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your pump.
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the pump with clean water to remove any debris or sediment. Ensure the intake screen is clear of obstructions.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Check the pump housing for cracks or leaks.
- Storage: Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location when not in use. If storing for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry.
- Winterization: In freezing temperatures, ensure the pump is completely drained of water to prevent damage from ice expansion.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power to the pump; tripped GFCI; motor overload; clogged impeller | Check power connection and outlet; reset GFCI; allow motor to cool; clear impeller of debris. |
| Pump runs but no water flows | Air lock; clogged intake screen or discharge hose; pump not fully submerged | Lift and lower pump to release air; clear obstructions; ensure pump is fully submerged. |
| Low flow rate | Partially clogged intake or hose; excessive discharge lift; worn impeller | Clear obstructions; reduce discharge lift if possible; contact customer support for impeller replacement. |
| Pump cycles on and off rapidly | Insufficient water level; air in system | Ensure adequate water level for continuous operation; check for air leaks in connections. |
