INTRODUCTION

Little Giant Wastewater Kits are carefully packaged, inspected, and tested
to ensure safe operation and delivery. When you receive your kit, 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 kit 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 the screen and result in pump
failure. Maximum fluid temperature is 125˚ F. The kit is designed to fit under
most sinks, so in many cases it is not necessary to recess the kit 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
the customer can install the kit, 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. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect the power
cord plug from power before servicing the pump.
2. Read and follow this instruction sheet thoroughly. Failure to do so 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. Use caution to
prevent bodily injury when working near the pump.
a. Disconnect the power cord plug from power before 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
WRS-6
Position the pump locating plate inside the basin as shown. This will allow proper alignment of mounting holes when
installing the basin cover. Any other position will not allow assembly of cover.
Placer la plaque à l'intérieur du réservoir, tel qu'illustré. Ainsi, les trous de montage seront correctement alignés au moment
de la pose du couvercle du réservoir. Tout autre positionnement de la plaque ne permettra pas la pose du couvercle.
Coloque la bomba poniendo la placa dentro del depósito como se ilustra. Esto permitirá la alineación apropiada de los
agujeros de montaje cuando instale la cubierta del depósito. Cualquier otra posición no permitirá armar la cubierta.

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.
All plumbing must meet local codes. A licensed plumbing contractor is
recommended. All fixtures connected to the WRS-6 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.
3. Plumb discharge. Using 1-1/2" threaded pipe, plumb discharge to basin
cover fitting. Use a swing check valve no more than 8 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.
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.
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 18-25 cm of water in
tank, and turn off when 3-8 cm of water is left in tank.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, shut off water inlet and
disconnect the power cord from power. 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 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 six 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 12-17 cm-kg. See pump manual for other
information. For any other pump repair, return the pump to a Little Giant
authorized service center.
For troubleshooting information, see the pump owner's manual (included
with the WRS-6 Basin Kit).
