OPERATION
6. Once the Combo Kit is firmly seated in the base of the
pit, connect the hose and clamp switch to the existing
discharge pipe and clamp it securely.
7. Secure power cord (primary and backup sump pumps),
piggyback switch, and reed switch cord high up and
around pipe with a cable tie. Plug the primary pump into
a standard household 15 amp outlet.
NOTE:
The circuit
should be dedicated to the sump pump exclusively.
Remember: Do not handle the pump while it is plugged in;
whether it is running or not.
8. Connect BBU. See “BBU Wiring and Setup”.
9. Once all wiring is complete, fill your pit with water and
verify that the primary sump pump removes the water
and the BBU doesn’t run. Then, unplug your primary sump
pump and refill your pit with water. Verify that the BBU
removes the water.
10. Make sure that the power is on to both pumps, and your
system is ready to use.
OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not
handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate pump unless it is submerged in water as seal may
be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal protector.
If temperature in motor should rise, switch will cut off all
power before damage can be done to motor. When motor
has cooled, switch will reset automatically and restart
motor. If protector trips repeatedly, pump should be
removed and checked. Low voltage, long extension cords,
clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or a plugged or
frozen discharge pipe, etc., could cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump
manually and suddenly no water comes out of the
discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The unit
has broken prime due to a very low water level.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped operating,
disconnect power from unit.
