OPERATION
Always disconnect the power source before
attempting to install, service, relocate or maintain the pump. Never touch
sump 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 electric shock
could occur.
Toujours débrancher le cordon d’alimentation
avant d’essayer d’installer, de réparer, de déplacer ou de faire l’entretien
de la pompe. Ne jamais toucher le moteur de la pompe de puisard, l’eau
ou les tuyaux d’évacuation lorsque la pompe est branchée à une source
d’alimentation électrique. Ne jamais manipuler une pompe ou le moteur
d’une pompe avec les mains humides, ou debout sur une surface mouillée
ou humide ou dans l’eau. Cela pourrait occasionner un choc électrique.
Risk of electrical shock! Use a gfci receptacle
to reduce the risk of fatal electric shock. Cutting the cord will void the
warranty and make the pump inoperable.
Risque de choc électrique! Utiliser une prise avec
disjoncteur de fuite à la terre pour réduire le risque de choc électrique.
Couper le cordon annulera la garantie et rendra la pompe inutilisable.
1. After installation, the backup pump will start
when the water level rises above the backup float switch.
Risk of electrical shock! Unplug main
ac pump and the transformer.
Risque de choc électrique!
Débrancher la pompe principale et le transformateur de
courant c.A.
a. After main pump and transformer are unplugged, a
power off alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.
b. Press and release the self test button to activate the back
up pump.
c. When the pump stops, read the charge indicator lights:
Green: Indicates the battery is fully charged.
Yellow: Indicates battery partially charged, still operable.
Red: Battery is completely discharged or defective.
Red blinking: Battery discharged below level where
pumping can occur. Motor is locked out by controller
until battery is sufficiently charged to run pump.
2. 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. The time delay feature
will allow the pump to run 20-25 seconds after the
switch reaches the off position.
3. The control box contains multi-colored indicator
lights. When AC power is present, the lights will
indicate the charging state, and not reflect 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.
d. Plug in transformer and main AC pump.
When main AC power is out, and when pump has been
running, the lights will indicate battery status.
4. 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 reflect the true
condition of the battery. See maintenance for
instruction on assessing battery condition.
5. A single thirty (30) second tone will sound when
power to the system is interrupted and the power
failure light will illuminate. The unit will reset and the
light will go out automatically when power is
restored.
6. A three (3) second tone will sound every time
the
pump starts.
Secure the basin cover and gasket to the basin to
prevent debris from falling into the basin, prevent personal injury, and to
contain gases and/ or odors.

TROUBLESHOOTING WARNINGS
LET PUMP COOL FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE. Submersible pumps contain oil that
become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
LAISSER REFROIDIR LA POMPE PENDANT AU MOINS 2 HEURES
AVANT D’ESSAYER DE LA RÉPARER. Les pompes submersibles
contiennent de l’huile qui devient pressurisée et chaude dans des
conditions normales de fonctionnement.
1. Submersible pump models have permanently lubricated
bearings and require no additional lubrication.
2. Submersible pump contains dielectric oil for cooling.
Dielectric oil can be harmful to the environment. Follow
state environmental laws when disposing of pump.
3. The AC pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of
operating the pump at low heads, excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor conditions, or at
the end of its life.
AC ROUTINE SUMP MAINTENANCE
The pump system should be inspected 3-4 times per year for
movement or buildup of debris on the switch or float. Reposition system if it has moved. Remove any debris that could
interfere with the operation of the switches. Lack of proper
routine maintenance will void warranty.
• Make sure the system is plugged in to a working ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet and the cord is in good shape.
In damp areas, GFCI breakers may trip, effectively shutting off
the sump pump. Check in on your sump pump and reset the
GFCI if necessary. Replace pump if GFCI continues to trip.
• Ensure the system is upright. Vibrations during operation can
cause it to fall or tilt onto one side. This can jam the float so it
can’t activate the pump.
• Pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the AC
pump starts automatically and the water drains quickly once
the pump is on. If the pump doesn’t start, have it serviced or
replaced.
• Check the inlet screen and clear away any small stones or
debris.
