SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

This product or its power cord MAY contain

chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WORK AREA

• Do NOT operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks which MAY ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while installing pump. Distractions CAN result in mistakes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• This primary pump must be plugged into a properly installed GFCI grounded outlet. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do NOT use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are NOT sure the outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

• Electrical wiring MUST be performed by a qualified electrician. Improper wiring COULD result in fatal electrical shock.

• Do NOT abuse cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Do NOT expose battery to sparks or ﬂ ames as an explosion or ﬁ re could result.

• Battery acid is corrosive. Avoid spilling on skin or clothing. Eye protection must be worn when handling the battery.

• A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating correctly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.

• Do NOT use an extension cord. This increases the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• If the basement has water or moisture on the ﬂ oor, do NOT walk on wet area until all power is turned off. If the shutoff box is in the basement, call an electrician. Remove pump and either repair or replace. Failure to follow this warning COULD result in fatal electrical shock.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard hat MUST be used for appropriate conditions.

• This pump MUST only be used to pump clear water. This pump is NOT designed to handle efﬂ uent, salt water, brine, laundry discharge or any other application which MAY contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign materials. Pump damage MAY occur if used in these applications and WILL void warranty.

SERVICE

BACK-UP PUMP BATTERY REQUIREMENTS

1. Use only a new fully charged 12 volt deep cycle battery. Electrolyte level must be checked and maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines.

2. Battery sizes that will ﬁ t into the battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C, 27CM and 27F.

3. Battery recharge time will be different at each installation. Under normal conditions it will take two to four days to bring a deep cycle battery back to full charge after it has been discharged. If electrical power to the house is lost more than once a week, consider keeping a spare, fully-charged battery to replace an exhausted battery for the standby sump pump.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Install system in a sump pit that is 14 inches in diameter or greater. Construct sump pit of tile, concrete, steel, or plastic. Position primary pump switch AWAY from any inlets (Figure 2).

SYSTEM OPERATION

PRIMARY PUMP

For detailed operation instructions of the primary pump for this system, please refer to the Installation manual, and Warranty and Service parts sheet provided.

BACK-UP PUMP

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.

1. Test Backup Pump operation by ﬁ lling the sump with

water while the main pump is unplugged.

2. After installation, the standby pump will start when the

water level rises above the depth that the primary pump should start.

3. In addition, the control box has a time delay which keeps

the pump from repeated, short cycles when it shuts off. This time delay feature will allow the pump to run 20-25 seconds after the switch reaches the off position.

4. The control box contains a multi-colored indicator light.

When AC power is present, the light will indicate the charging state, and not reﬂ ect actual battery voltage, particularly with a defective battery. In order for the indicator light to provide an accurate reading, steps “a” through “d” must be followed.

a. Unplug main AC pump and the charger-a power off

alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.

b. Lift and release the ﬂ oat switch to activate the

standby pump.

c. When the pump stops, read the test light:

Green: Indicates battery is charged.

Yellow: Voltage is low, indicating battery is partially

charged.

Red: Battery is completely discharged or

defective.

d. Plug in charger and main AC pump.

When AC power is out, and when pump has been

running, the light will indicate battery status.
