Installation
1. Install in a sump pit per the
minimum diameter required (WSS10:
11 inch, WSS20: 12 inch, WSS30: 15
inch in diameter). Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic.
Position primary pump switch AWAY
from any inlets so that incoming
water does not contact the switch
face. See Figure 1(a) - 1(c).
2. The unit should be located and
rest on a solid, level foundation.
Do not place pump directly on clay,
earth, gravel or sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.
Flood risk. If fl exible
discharge hose is
used, make sure pump is secured in
sump pit to prevent movement. Failure
to secure pump could allow pump
movement and switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or stopping.
3. Using PVC cement and primer,
connect 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch (only
1-1/2 inch for WSS30) rigid pipe to
the system's discharge fi tting.
Support pump
and piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.

damaging the pump.
Operation - Primary 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. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump
is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a
grounded receptacle to reduce the risk
of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
2. The primary pump is only for use
on 120 volt (single phase), 60 hz,
15 amp service and is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding type plug.
Insert the switch cord plug directly
into a 120-volt outlet.
3. Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into the back of the water
sensor cord plug.
4. Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water
is about 1-1/2 inches from the top
of the switch. The pump will recycle
thereafter as required.
• Sump pump will run a minimum
of 4 seconds, to a maximum of
16 before stopping.
• Sump pump run time will be
determined by the sump pit size
and water fl ow rate into the
sump pit.
• Under fl ooding conditions,
the sump pump will stop for 1
second, every 16 seconds, and
automatically turn back on.
5. Do not operate the pump unless it
is submerged in water. Dry running
causes pump failure.

(continued)
6. The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
7. While the pump is draining the
pit, verify that the discharge
piping is carrying the water to a
point several feet away from the
foundation.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperature, the exposed
line must be pitched to drain.
Trapped water will freeze and
damage the pump.
Operation - 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.
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump
is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a grounded
receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal
electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
1. Test Backup Pump operation by
fi lling the sump with water while
the main pump is unplugged.
If the Backup Pump operates
properly, plug the charger into
the GFCI protected outlet to begin
charging the battery.
2. After installation, the standby
pump will start when the water
level rises above the depth that the
primary pump should start.
3. The control box has a DC charger
designed to shorten the recharging
time of your battery, and to prevent
overcharging. 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 multicolored 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.
5. A chirping sound from the control
box will accompany the red light,
indicating that the battery may
require attention or replacement.
Voltage is only an indicator of
battery condition and may not
refl ect the true condition of the
battery. See Maintenance for
instruction on assessing battery
condition.
6. A single thirty-second tone will
sound when power to the system
is interrupted. The unit will reset
automatically when power is
restored. A three-second tone will
sound every time the pump starts.
Maintenance - Primary 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. Let the pump cool for a minimum of
two hours before servicing because
the pump contains hot oil under
pressure and the motor is hot.
2. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. If repairs are required,
see troubleshooting chart.
3. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspect
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
4. Pump should be checked monthly
for proper operation. Pump can be
checked for proper operation by
briefl y removing pump power cord
from the back of the water sensor
plug and inserting directly into the
grounded outlet. In this condition,
the pump will run continuously.
Once pump operation is verifi ed,
replace pump power cord into the
back of the water sensor plug.
5. Wipe water sensor surface regularly
to prevent silt or other coatings
from building up on sensor face
(see Figure 3).

Maintenance - Back-up Pump
(continued)
3. For batteries with top caps that
can be removed, the electrolyte
level should be checked and fi lled
to manufacturer’s specifi cations.
The charge for each cell should
be checked with a hydrometer. A
specifi c gravity of 1.265 indicates
the battery is at full charge. If the
specifi c gravity of any of the cells
varies more than .050, the battery
should be replaced.
NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer
can be purchased at an automotive
parts dealer.
4. Inspect the terminals and clamps
for corrosion and tightness. Clean
and tighten as required.
5. Unplug the main pump and fi ll
sump with water until back up
pump turns on. Repeat process two
times to be sure pump is operating
normally.
