LIST OF CAUTIONS

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 tethered 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. 

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 FM1311, FM1311S, FM1311F AND HF1312.
