The Wayne CDU980E sump pump is designed for installation in 11-inch diameter or larger sump pits. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Sump Pit: Ensure the sump pit is clean and free of debris. The pump should sit on a solid, level surface.
- Conectar la tubería de descarga: Thread a 1-1/2 inch NPT discharge pipe into the pump's outlet. Use appropriate sealant for a watertight connection.
- Instalar la válvula de retención: Install a check valve in the discharge line above the pump to prevent water from flowing back into the sump pit when the pump shuts off.
- Posicionamiento de la bomba: Carefully lower the pump into the sump pit. Ensure the float switch can move freely without obstruction from the pit walls or other pipes.
- Conexión eléctrica: Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120V, 60Hz electrical outlet protected by a GFCI. Ensure the power cord is routed to prevent damage.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Wayne CDU980E operates automatically via its integrated vertical float switch. When water in the sump pit rises and lifts the float to the 'ON' level (approximately 9 inches), the pump will activate and begin discharging water. Once the water level drops and the float returns to the 'OFF' level (approximately 4 inches), the pump will shut off. This automatic operation ensures your basement remains dry without constant manual intervention.
