To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property damage, read safety instruction carefully before installing pump.
Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical codes when installing pump. A ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) is recommended for use on any electrical appliance submerged in water.
Use this pump only for backup sump pump duty in a residential application. It is not designed as a primary sump pump.
DANGER Hazardous Voltage. Can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock.
Do not plug in or unplug battery charger while standing on a wet floor or in water. Be sure one hand is free when plugging in or unplugging charger. If basement floor is wet, disconnect power to basement before walking on floor.
Do not lift pump by electrical cord.
Pump water only with this pump.
Pump is permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not try to lubricate it!
Keep battery charger and battery box in a dry, cool, well ventilated area.
To avoid danger of fire or explosion, keep sparks and flame away from battery.
Battery acid is corrosive.
WARNING
10. Do not spill on skin, clothing or battery charger. Wear eye protection when working on battery.
11. Maximum vertical pumping distance is 15 feet (4.6 M).
12. Make sure pump is clear of debris.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The battery back-up sump system is not a substitute for
your primary sump pump. It is designed as a backup
pump to pinch-hit for your primary sump pump during
a power outage or other problem which prevents normal
operation. Do not use it to pump flammable liquids or
chemicals.
Keep battery charger dry and protected from damage.
In an emergency (such as an extended power outage)
which depletes the system battery, your automobile battery may be temporarily substituted. Be sure to replace
the system battery as soon as possible.
CHARGER OPERATION
Backup pump will start automatically when sump water
level rises far enough to trip float switch. After a delay
of about 4 seconds, alarm will sound. Silence alarm by
pushing ALARM TEST/RESET button. In normal (switch
actuated) operation, alarm is locked out until about 4
seconds after float switch has dropped to OFF position,
cycle can then begin again.
Test alarm by pushing ALARM TEST/RESET button
when alarm is not sounding. Alarm will then sound as
long as button is held down.
If alarm sounds, check operation of primary pump,
which may need service. If battery backup operation is
due to a power outage, alarm will sound, but no service
is likely to be required to primary pump.
Battery charger has capacity to run pump and charge
battery at the same time as long as power to the charger
is not interrupted. If power to charger circuit is interrupted, the length of time that the backup pump will run
depends on the ampere-hour capacity of the battery used.
Extended periods of operation (for example, during an
extended power outage) may exhaust the battery. However, once the load is removed, usually it will self-regenerate far enough to allow the charger to start. The battery
charger will begin charging the battery as long as the
battery has a charge of at least 1/2 volt.
After power is restored, charger will automatically recharge battery fully in about six hours.
NOTICE: If battery has not reached a satisfactory voltage after 24 hours of charging, alarm will sound. In this case alarm cannot be reset. Possible causes are:
PROBLEM
ACTION
Back-up pump has run
Push ‘Reset’. Check main pump
Power out more than Disconnect charger from battery.
24 hours
Call power company.
Continuous charging
Disconnect charger from battery. more than 24 hours
Check for defective battery.
Loose connection or Disconnect charger from battery. no power to charger
Check plug, receptacle, power at main breaker.
After restoring power or replacing battery, alarm can be reset.
BASIC TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED
Pipe wrenches, screwdriver, hacksaw, adjustable wrench,
Teflon tape, knife, 12-volt battery, PVC cement, primary
pump check valve (if not installed)

BATTERY REQUIREMENTS
Hazardous electrical current.
WARNING
Can cause severe burns and start a fire if battery terminals are short circuited. Install battery in box. To prevent
accidental shorting across battery terminals, strap cover
securely on battery box. Do not leave battery uncovered.
Do not allow children to play around sump pump installation.
Your backup sump pump depends on the battery used
with it for power. The better the battery, the better the
performance of the pump.
We recommend the use of a 105 Amp Deep Cycle Marine Battery.
This battery will perform well for many hours and stands
up well to long periods of little or no use.
Use of a standard automobile or marine
CAUTION
battery with this charger is not recommended. An automobile battery may
require charging after only 1-2 hours of
continuous use, and the repeated charging cycles may cause early plate failure
in the battery.
Use only a new, fully charged battery
that will fit in the battery box (maximum size 125⁄8" long, 7" wide and 93⁄8"
high (320.7 mm x 177.8 mm x 238 mm)
including terminals).
PUMP INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
NOTICE: We recommend a trial fitting of all components before gluing anything. This will allow you to check pump mounting height, float switch clearance, etc., while adjustments can still be easily made.
1. Fill sump until primary pump turns on. Mark this level as “Normal High Water”.
2. When installing the pump, mount the centerline of the tee inlet at least 2 inches above the normal high water level.
3. Check that the location of the tee is at least 2 inches below the top of the sump.
4. Make sure the installation will not interfere with the primary sump pump operation as follows:
(A)Back up pump must not interfere with primary pump float switch swing.
(B) Normal high water level must not be high enough to start the back-up pump.
(C)Install a check valve in the main sump pump discharge pipe below the back-up pump tee. Flow in this pipe must be away from the primary pump. DO NOT INSTALL IT BACKWARDS! This valve will prevent flow from the back-up pump back to the sump during battery powered operation.
5. Cut rigid discharge pipe from primary sump pump to length, use PVC piping. Tee supplied is 1½" slip fit; if necessary use 1¼" bushings supplied. Do not glue the tee until all parts have been trial fitted and aligned.

CHARGER/BATTERY INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Alarm will sound when charger is first connected to battery. Press ALARM TEST/
RESET button on charger. If alarm continues to sound, disconnect one charger lead from the battery and reconnect it. Press ALARM TEST/RESET again; alarm will stop sounding.
1. Connect charger as shown in Figure 3.
A. Connect Positive (+) lead from charger to positive battery terminal.
B. Connect (–) lead from charger to negative battery terminal.
C. Connect the third (blue) lead from the charger to the blue tap on the brown pump wire just before the fuse holder.
D. Put the 15 Amp fuse into ½ of the fuse holder and connect the second half of the fuse holder.
E. Connect the black pump wire to the Negative battery terminal.
F. Connect the gray switch wire marked + to the Positive battery terminal.
2. Plug in power cord to a 115-125 Volt AC outlet delivering at least 2 amps. Do not use a switch controlled outlet. Mark circuit in main power panel “Backup sump pump power supply; do not turn off ”.
3. With charger properly connected and plugged in, the panel on the front of the charger will appear as in one of the following:
A. If battery is dead, charger will supply about 10 amps power (see Figure 3A).
B. If battery is near full charge, charger will deliver about 5 amps power (see figure 3B).
C. If battery is fully charged, charging current will be 0 amps and green LED lamp will be lighted (see figure 3C).
4. The charger is equipped with a self-resetting circuit breaker which protects it from temporary overloads. In case of an overload, the circuit breaker will open. It automatically resets after a short cool-down period. In some conditions where the overload is extended the breaker will cycle, repeating the open/
reset process indefinitely. When this happens, normally the charger will emit a clicking sound as the breaker opens and resets.
NOTICE: If the clicking sound continues for more than 30 minutes or so, check for reversed charger connections to the battery and for shorted cells in the battery.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: To protect battery case from chipping and gouging, do not let battery sit on concrete floor (plywood, 2x4’s, etc.). Always install battery in a dry location that is protected from flooding.
1. Unplug battery charger.
2. On batteries with removable top caps, measure specific gravity of electrolyte. Use a hydrometer (available at auto parts stores). If the specific gravity of any cell is less than 1.225 or if there is more than .050 variation between cells, replace the battery.
3. Check electrolyte level and refill as needed.
4. Check battery terminals and clamps for tightness and corrosion. Clean and tighten as needed.
5. Plug in battery charger.
