2. Maintenance Procedures: 

Every 3 months

 lift the backup pump float by hand and confirm pump operation and water removal. Confirm that 

the float is allowed to move freely and hits no obstacles. Check the battery age and charger status lights. The red 
light must be on to show that the charger is powered from the wall outlet. The yellow light indicates charging is 
taking place. The green light should be on when charging is complete and the charger is in float mode. This is an 
automatic charger; no adjustments or maintenance are required. 

 
3. Troubleshooting The Pump, The Inverter, The Charger: 
3.1. Troubleshooting The Pump: 

The Backup Pump Is Running But No Water Is Being Removed From Your Sump 

- Clogged suction or discharge pipe - 

Clear obstruction and restart. 

 

The Backup Pump Is Removing Low Volumes Of Water 

- Suction or discharge piping may be partially clogged which restricts water flow -

 Clear the obstruction. 

- Excessive discharge pipe length and/or configuration can produce a large pressure drop

 - Accept the 

lower flow or change the piping layout, direction, length, etc. 

- Battery may need charging or replacing

 - A new battery often needs 24 - 36 hours of charging. If it is more 

than 3 years old, it is likely to need replacing. 

- Check all PVC joints and confirm that they are cemented and leak-tight

 - Air leaks reduce pumping 

capacity. 
 

The Backup Pump Will Not Turn On Or Off Properly. 

- Float must be fully down for off and fully up for on

 - Adjust the float by hand to each position required to test 

the pump. Re-position the clamp on the suction pipe, or the rubber stopper on the bottom of the float rod, if 
necessary, to assure proper operation. 

- Battery terminals may be connected improperly -

 Correct and tighten securely. 

 

3.2. The Inverter: 

Dispersion Of Heat 

The inverter will get warm during extensive operation. This indicates that the unit is functioning properly. The 
amount of heat generated will vary with the power draw of the backup pump. In order for proper heat dissipation 
to occur, ensure that air is allowed to circulate freely around the unit. A fan will come on in cases were the unit is 
operating at maximum power output and/or for an extended period of time. This unit features overload 
temperature protection. 
 

3.3. The Battery Charger: 

The Battery Charger Should Only Be Used On The Appropriate Output Voltage Systems. Improper Use 

Could Cause The Battery To Explode, Resulting In Fire, Personal Injury, And Damage To The Charger. 

 

DANGER

 

– Extreme caution should be taken when working in the vicinity of all types of batteries. Lead acid and 

AGM batteries emit flammable gases during normal operation and while being charged. Open flames, matches, 
smoking materials, or other means of ignition should not be used near the batteries. The AC power source to the 
charger must be turned off when working on or disconnecting the charger to avoid sparks. The battery case cover 
or a temporary cover of non-conductive material should be placed over the battery when working near it to 
prevent sparks from tools being dropped on it. 
 

DANGER

 

– Electricity can kill – The AC power supply to the charger should always include an equipment 

grounding conductor. Never use a two-blade to three-blade plug adaptor or an extension cord with a male plug 
having only two blades. Always use an AC receptacle with a three-blade outlet and an extension cord with a 
three-blade male plug. Always unplug or turn off the AC power supply at the main distribution panel when working 
on the battery charger. Avoid working on or connecting power to the charger with wet hands or under wet 
conditions.
