WARNING!
Turn power to main pump off!
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard. DISCONNECT power before servicing.
•
Backup Pump must be installed using 1-1/2 in. rigid PVC pipe!
•
DO NOT over tighten or cross-thread plastic fittings or check valves.
•
Check valves MUST be installed in the discharge line of both the main AC pump and the
back-up DC pump.
•
Installation of this unit MAY take several hours. Before disabling your main pump, have a standby
pump ready or an appropriate means of evacuating the sump basin.
•
Verify that the existing AC pump is in good working order. If the AC pump is questionable, replace.
•
Remove any debris from the sump pit and surrounding area.
UNPACKING
Inspect this unit before beginning installation. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the
pump or any components are damaged, contact Richtech Industries for replacement.
METHOD 1 (Separate discharge line) - See Figure 1
1. The backup pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT discharge.
2. Cut a 3 ft. section of 1-1/2 in. rigid PVC pipe.
Glue 1-1/2 in. pipe to a threaded fitting.
3. Screw pipe from step 2 into pump discharge.
4. Place the pump with the 3 ft. section of PVC pipe on a
solid, level surface in the sump pit. Do NOT place the
pump on a loose or sandy surface. Small stones or
sand may damage the pump resulting in pump failure.
5. Attach a check valve (sold separately) to the top
of the discharge pipe. A check valve is required for
proper operation of system.
The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary
depending on individual circumstances. Using sound
plumbing practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior
wall by the shortest path. Keep turns to a minimum
because they reduce flow output of the pump.
The PitBoss
+ System can be installed with a separate discharge line (Method 1), or connected to
an existing discharge line (Method 2).
