LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Testing for ground. As a safety measure each electrical outlet should be
checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer,
which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly
connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified, licensed electrician.
2. For your protection, always disconnect the power supply from its power
source before handling the components of your DC backup pump or the
primary pump.
3. Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should be
performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
4. All electrical and safety codes must be followed including the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.
5.
It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and battery
connection at least once a month. Batteries contain acid, and
caution must be taken when handling.
6. Risk of electric shock. These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pools and marine areas.
7. Prop65 Warning for california residents: Cancer and Reproductive Harm-

1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115 V receptacle available. Do
not use primary pump circuit.
The location must be within 6' (1.8 m) of the
control box and battery. The power supply for your DC control system
plugs directly into the 115 V outlet.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
2. Make sure the 115 V electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or
circuit breakers of proper capacity.
3. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do not use
in septic tanks to pump effluent or in sewage pits to pump sewage.
4. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed by an
authorized service station.
5. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use of a variable
level float switch for operation. It is the responsibility of the installing party
to ensure that the float switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus
or pit peculiarities and is secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”.
It is recommended that the pit be 18" (45.7 cm) in diameter or larger to
accommodate both a primary and a DC backup pump.
6. For indoor use only.
