6.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace a damaged cord immediately.

7.A sump pit cover must be installed to prevent debris from clogging or damaging the pump.

8.Fill sump with at least 6 inches of water.

Battery Information

The system is designed to operate most efficiently with sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries at 24 volts. Two 12-volt 40- amp hour SLA batteries provide enough energy to pump more than 10,000 gallons of water from a basement. Deep cycle marine batteries or automotive style batteries can also be used.

Dangerous

! DANGER hydrogen gas can be released from batteries while charging. Sparks can ignite the gas in an enclosed space. Wear safety goggles when connecting batteries. Battery connections should be made in a well-ventilated area.

Working in the

! DANGER vicinity of lead acid batteries can be dangerous. Before making connections or servicing the batteries, read and follow instructions in all applicable instruction manuals. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow the instructions in this manual and those published by the battery manufacturer, as well as those of any other equipment used in the surrounding area.
