© Copyright 2013 Zoeller Co. All rights reserved.

1.  Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit or any of the parts are damaged, contact your dealer before using.
2.  Read all the installation instructions regarding installing and start up. Retain for future reference.

SEE BELOW FOR 

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 checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be 

performed by a qualified, licensed electrician. 

4.  All electrical and safety codes must be followed in addition to 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 pool areas.

7.  According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains 

chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth 

defects or other reproductive harm.

1.  Make sure there is a properly grounded 115V receptacle available. Do 

not use primary pump circuit. The location must be within 6' of the control 

box and battery. The power supply for your DC control system plugs 

directly into the 115V outlet. DO NOT USE AN ExTENSION CORD.

2.  Make sure the 115V 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 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" in diameter or larger 

to accommodate both a primary and a DC backup pump.

SEE BELOW FOR 

LIST OF CAUTIONS

RefeR to WARRAntY on PAge 2.

  Turbulence caused by high velocity incoming 

water can cause the DC pump to airlock. If this condition exists, 

the incoming water must be baffled to avoid excessive turbulence.

ANY CHANGES MADE TO THIS DOCUMENT ALSO MAY AFFECT FM1311f & FM1311s, HF1312,
