Never attempt any maintenance and/or cleaning with the
NexPump powered up Risk of electric shock may result.
IF LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS USED
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPOR-
TANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE
USING YOUR NEXPUMP CONTROL UNIT YOU READ THIS
MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
Be sure the area around the battery is well
ventilated.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
IF LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS USED
Someone should be within range of your voice and/or close
enough to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching your eyes while
working near the battery.
If battery acid contacts skin and/or clothing, wash immediate-
ly with soap and water. If acid enters the
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
When the battery fluid level is low, add distilled water in each
cell until the level reaches the
indicator on each cell. Do not overfill.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL BATTERIES
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping
a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark
or short-circuit the battery or another electrical
part that may cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, neck-
laces and/or watches when working with a battery. A battery
can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a
ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.
When Cleaning the battery terminals. Be careful to keep cor-
rosion from coming in contact with eyes.
Do not use the system unit for charging Dry-Cell batteries, that are
most commonly used with household appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to prop-
erty.
NEXPUMP PRECAUTIONS
NEXPUMP SYSTEM UNIT LOCATION
Locate the NexPump System Unit as far away
from the battery as the DC cables permit.
Do not operate the NexPump System Unit in an area with
restricted ventilation.
Do not set a battery on top of the NexPump
System Unit.
Do Not allow the NexPump System Unit to sit on top of the
battery.
Do not block NexPump System Unit ventilation in any way.
Allow at least 6 inches of free space from the fan exhausts
on the right side of the NexPump Unit.
Do not install the NexPump System Unit where temperatures
will be below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
Do not install the NexPump System Unit where it will be
exposed to outside elements.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
The NexPump Unit requires a connected marine type
deep-cycle battery for proper operation. You must assure
the battery is connected while the NexPump Unit is oper-
ating.
When attaching the battery cables to the battery posts,
secure them to insure a good connection.
The BLACK wire from the NexPump System Unit
connects to the NEGATIVE (-) post of the battery.
The RED wire from the NexPump System Unit
connects to the POSITIVE (+) post of the battery.
The ‘REVERSE POLARITY LED’ will illuminate if
the battery connections are reversed.
