Q & A FG-A1

Back-Up System

Q. Why is it necessary to install the pump at an angle?

A. Installing the pump at an angle prevents air from entering the system. If air were allowed to enter the system, the pump would not operate.

Q. What is a trickle charger?

A.A trickle charger is a device that allows the battery to charge the pump system constant until the battery is fully charged.

Q.Can a backup sump pump be used with a pedestal sump pump?

A.Yes. However, your sump basin must be at least 18" in diameter, and an additional piece of PVC pipe must be used to extend the pump tee so the backup pump will not interfere with the float rod of the pedestal pump.

Q.The pump is buzzing but not pumping. What's wrong?

A.There are several reasons why this situation might occur: A) The system is air locked. Make sure the pump is positioned at the recommended 30 degree angle. B) Your battery is low. If the low-battery light is lit on the control box, make sure your battery is properly charged. C) The system may be clogged with debris. Make sure pipes are not plugged, and that the pump openings are clear.

Q.What size fuse is required?

A.A 12 amp fuse for the RED (Positive) battery lead.

Q.What type of battery should be used?

A.We recommend a deep cycle (marine) battery 650 CCA with 105 AH rating.
