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. Prop 65 Warning for California residents: Cancer and Reproductive
Harm- www.P65Warning.ca.gov.
1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115 V receptacle available.
Do not use primary pump circuit. T
he 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.

water can cause sump pumps to airlock. If this condition exists,
the incoming water must be baffled to avoid excessive turbulence.
