5.Insert flapper valve into tee. Be sure locator tab is in the notch in tee (see Figure 2).

6.Slide clamp onto tee.

7.Insert pump into flapper valve, tilt pump 30˚. When tilted, side with power cord should be up (see Figure 3). Tighten clamp around the pump and flapper valve (see Figure 2).

8.The standby pump’s float switch should be installed so that it will not activate until the standby pump’s inlet is under water. Use the wire ties provided to secure the float switch (see Figure 4). Make sure power wires do not interfere with float switch or pump inlet.

9.Attach control box to the side of battery box as shown in Figure 5. Place battery in box, attach red cable to positive battery post and black cable to negative post. Put lid on box and strap closed.

If cables are reversed, damage to

the control box or battery could result, and warranty will be void.

10.Place battery box within six feet of the sump and a 115 VAC separately fused outlet. The outlet must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The area must also be clean, dry and well-ventilated.

11.Plug the float switch, pump and charger into the control box. The connections are marked on the control box.

12.Test pump operation by filling the sump with water while the main pump is unplugged. If the pump operates properly, plug the charger into the GFCI protected outlet to begin charging the battery.

13.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord and replace damaged components immediately.

Operation

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! Use a GFCI receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal electrical shock.

Cutting the cord or plug will void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.

1.After installation, the standby pump will start when the water level rises above the depth that the primary pump should start.

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. This time delay feature will allow the pump to run two to three seconds after the switch reaches the off position.

3.The control box contains a multi- colored indicator light. When AC power is present, the light 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.

a.Unplug main AC pump and the charger--a power off alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.

b.Lift and release the float 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.
