power is turned off. If the shutoff box is
in the basement, call an electrician.
Remove pump and either repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fatal electrical shock.
All wiring must be
performed by a
qualified electrician.
Do not expose battery to
sparks or flames as an
explosion or fire could
result.
Battery
acid is corrosive. Avoid
spilling on skin or clothing.
Eye protection must be worn
when handling the battery.
A check valve
must be used on
the primary sump pump discharge (see
Figure 1)
A ground fault
circuit interrupter is
required.
This pump must only
be used to pump
clear water. This pump is not designed to
handle effluent, salt water, brine, laundry
discharge or any other application which
may contain caustic chemicals and/or
foreign materials. Pump damage may
occur if used in these applications and
will void warranty.
Battery Requirements
1. Use only a new fully charged 12 volt
deep cycle battery. Electrolyte level
must be checked and maintained in
accordance with manufacturer’s
guidelines.
2. Battery sizes that will fit into the
battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C,
27CM and 27F.
3. Battery recharge time will be
different at each installation. Under
normal conditions it will take two to
four days to bring a deep cycle
battery back to full charge after it has
been discharged. If electrical power to
the house is lost more than once a
week, consider keeping a spare, fully-
charged battery to replace an
exhausted battery for the standby
sump pump.
Installation
Installation of this
unit may take
several hours. Before disabling your
main pump, have ready an appropriate
means of evacuating the sump.
1. Turn power to main pump off.
2. Pump must be installed using 1

(not included)
must
be installed
between the ESP’s tee and the main
pump (see Figure 1).
3. Measure and cut discharge pipe so
that back-up pump is a minimum of 1
inch above the main pump. This will
allow main pump to operate normally
(see Figure 1).
4. Check the fit of the components
before permanently attaching. Using
PVC cement, glue tee in place. Note
