GENERAL

INFORMATION

The Battery-Powered
Back-up Sump Pump is not a substitute
for your primary sump pump. It is designed
as a backup
pump to pinch-hit
for your primary sump pump during a
power outage or other problem which prevents normal operation. Do not use it to pump flammable liquids or chemicals.

OPERATION

Backup pump will start automatically
when sump water
level rises far enough to trip float switch. After a delay of
about 4 seconds, alarm will sound. Silence alarm by pushing
ALARM TEST/RESET button. In normal (switch actuated) operation, alarm is locked out until about 4 seconds after float
switch has dropped
to OFF position; cycle can then begin
again.

• Purchase locally.
For smalVshallow sump pits install as illustrated above. Installation Kit 2785
includes the necessary clamps and support pad needed for this installation.
Follow other instructions in the owner's manual.

Test alarm by pushing
ALARM TEST/RESET button when
alarm is not sounding. Alarm will then sound as long as button is held down. Pushing ALARM TEST/RESET button to
test alarm overrides

Can cause

se-

vere burns and start a fire if battery terminals are short circuited. Install battery in box. To prevent accidental
shorting
across battery terminals, strap cover securely on battery box.
Do not leave battery uncovered.
Do not allow children'to
play around sump pump installation.
Your Backup Sump Pump depends on the battery used with
it for power. The better the battery, the better the performance of the pump. We recommend
use of a SEARS DieHard
Size 27M or 24M Deep-Cycle
Marine battery. This battery
will perform well for many hours and stands up well to long
periods of little or no use.
In an emergency
a SEARS DieHard Size 27M or 24M standard
automobile
battery may be used. However,
an automotive
battery may require charging after only 1 to 2 hours of continuous use, and the repeated charging
cycles may cause
early plate failure in the battery.
Use only a new, fully charged battery that will fit in the battery box (maximum
size 12-5/8" long, 7" wide and 9-3/8"
high including terminals).

4. The charger iS equipped
with a self-resetting
circuit
breaker which protects it from temporary overloads. In

case of an overload, the circuit breaker will open. It automatically resets aRer a short cool-down period. In some
conditions where the overload is extended the breaker
will cycle, repeating the open/reset process indefinitely.
When this happens, normally the charger will emit a dicking sound as the breaker opens and resets.
NOTICE: If the clicking sound continues
for more than
30 minutes or so, check for reversed charger connections
to the battery and for shorted cells in the battery.

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: To protect battery case from chipping
and gouging, do not let battery sit on concrete floor. Install battery on
a shelf or protective
pad (plywood,
2x4s, etc.). Always install battery In a dry location that is protected
from flooding.
Every three months,

as follows

to maintain

1. Unplug battery charger.
2. On batteries with removable top caps, measure specific
gravity of the electrolyte.
Use a hydrometer
(available at
auto parts stores). If the specific gravity of any cell is less
than 1.225 or if there is more than .050 variation between
cells, replace the battery.
