i
do so will damage seals and can cause leaking and property
damage.
2.Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing the system. A ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is recommended for use on any elec-
trical appliance submerged in water.
3. Use this system only for backup sump pump duty in a res-
idential application. It is not designed as a primary sump
pump.
4. Do not lift pump by electrical cord.
_RNINGIRisk of electrical shock. Do not lift the
pump by the electrical cord; lift pump only by the discharge
pipe, lifting ring or handle on the pump. Lifting by the cord
can damage the cord.
5.Pump clear water only with this pump.
6. Pump is permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not try
to lubricate it!
7. Keep battery charger and battery box off of the floor
and in a dry, cool, well ventilated area.
NOTICE: If a Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor is in-
stalled, it must be at least 15 feet away from battery
charger in order to avoid nuisance CO alarms. Please
refer to your CO detector's installation guidelines for
more information.
8. To avoid danger of fire or explosion, keep sparks and
flame (pilot fight) away from battery.
9. Maximum vertical pumping distance is 15 feet (4.6M).
10. Make sure sump is clear of debris. Debris can damage the
pump which can result in flooding.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Battery Back-up Sump System is not a substitute for your
primary sump pump. It is designed to temporarily back up
your primary sump pump during a power outage or other
problem which prevents normal operation of the primary
pump. Do not use this system to pump flammable liquids or
chemicals. Pump clear water only with this pump.
Keep battery charger dry and protected from damage.
In an emergency (such as an extended pnwer outage)
which depletes the system's deep cycle marine battery, your
automobile battery may be temporarily substituted. Be sure
to replace the deep cycle marine battery as soon as possible.
Use of an automobile battery instead of a deep cycle marine
battery in this system will significantly reduce system per-
formance. Automobile batteries arc not designed for this
type of application.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving
salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void
warranty.

LAWARNINGJ Personal injury and flood hazard. Do not
turn the pump on until all the fittings are glued and the glue
has dried. Loose fittings can explode off the pipes and cause
personal injury and flooding.
Remove Primary Pump From Sump Pit:
1.Locate the "on" water level of the primary sump pump.
Mark this location on the discharge pipe with a pencil.
See Figure 1.
2. Drain the sump and unplug the pump. The water level
must be pumped down as low as possible before going
on to the next step.
i
I&WARNINGJElectrical shock hazard. Shock can bum
or kill. Do not make contact with the remaining water in
the sump pit. Unplug the primary sump pump and any
accessories such as alarms before you continue. Failure
to follow this warning can result in personal injury or
death.
3. To separate the primary pump from the discharge pipe:
A. For applications with rubber couplings: remove the
coupling clamp with a nut driver, and be prepared for
water to spill out.
B. For applications without rnbber couplings: cut the
PVC discharge pipe with a hacksaw above the base-
ment floor and at a comfortable level. Be prepared for
water to spill out. New rubber couplings are included
for reassembly.
[A CAUTION] Risk of pinching hands or fingers. To avoid
a band injury from a collapse of plumbing, support the pipe
above the separation before cutting or disassembly.
4. Lift the primary pump and discharge pipe assembly out
of the sump.
[AWARNINGIRLsk of electrical shock. Do not lift the
pump by the electrical cord; lift pump only by the discharge
pipe, lifting ring or handle on the pump. Lifting by the cord
can damage the cord.
NOTICE: The discharge pipe is filled with water. Drain the
water from the discharge pipe assembly. Keep the work area
dry.

5. Hold the coupling (Key No. 6, Page 9) with the channel
locks, insert the screwdriver into the tee for leverage and
tighten the tee with the screwdriver. Finish with the tee
in a straight up and down (vertical) position.
6. Clean the pipe ends with the cloth towel.
7. Glue the cut-off piece of discharge pipe into the top of
the tee. If your pipe is 1-1/4", you will need to glue the
reducer bushings into the tee and glue the pipe into the
bushings. Place the assembly on to the primary discharge
pipe. Do not glue the tee onto the Primary Pump dis-
charge pipe.
8.Mount the float switch assembly (Key No. 9, Page 9)
loosely to the discharge pipe with the cable ties (Key Nos.
9A & 9B, Page 9). Approximately 3 "(76ram) of cord length
should be left between the float and the clamp.
Adjustments may be needed, do not tighten the cable ties.

Test the Assembly:
1.Plug the primary pump into a properly grounded 3-prong
outlet.
2.FLU the sump with water to start the primary pump.
Check for leaks.
3.Unplug the primary pump and fig the sump with water
to start the backup system pump. Check for leaks.
4. Plug the primary pump back into a properly grounded
3-prong outlet. The system is now ready for operation.
CHARGER OPERATION
The backup pump will activate automatically and an alarm
will sound when the backup sump water level rises far
enough to trip the float switch.
If the power to the charger circuit is interrupted, the length
of time that the backup pump will run depends on the
Ampere-hour capacity of the battery used, the battery charge
level, the required vertical pumping distance, and the size
of the sump.
Extended periods of operation (for example, during an ex-
tended power outage) may exhaust the battery. The battery
charger will begin charging the battery as long as the battery
has a voltage differential of 3 Volts or more.
Recharge Time:
It will take approximately 43 hours to fully recharge a 24M
battery in a "discharged battery condition". The approxi-
mate recharge time for the 27M battery is 58 hours.
Industrial standards define a "discharged battery condition"
as 10.5 Volts or less.
The 5 Stages of the Charging Process:
NOTICE: All LED's will illuminate once the AC power has
been applied. They will not light up if the charger is not
plugged in. The RED LED will remain on continuously to in-
dicate power to the charger. See Figure 6.
1. Flashing yellow LED light: Battery prequalification test
stage. Normal duration of this stage is from 40 seconds to
3 hours.
2. Continuous Yellow LED light: Constant current charge
stage. Charger is charging battery at the full rated output.
3. Continuous Yellow LED llglht: C0nstant voltage charge
stage. Cells are being equalized.
4. Green LED light: Roat charge stage. Battery terminal
voltage has been regulated and system is ready for use.
Charging has stopped.
5. Recycle charge stage. Charger will automatically initi-
ate a charge cycle that begins with the prequallflcation
test stage. This occurs once the battery has been in the
float charge stage for 28 days.
Special Features:
•The charger is equipped with reverse battery, short cir-
cuit, and "run-away charge" protection.
•Abuilt-in safety timer starts when the charger enters the
Constant Current/Constant Voltage Charge stage (Yellow
LEDis continuously on). The system has a 70 hour safety
timer.
• To reset the charger simply unplug it from the 120V out-
let for 10 seconds and then plug it back in.
BATTERY REQUIREMENTS
I'_'WARNING ]Hazardous electrical current. Can cause se-
vere burns and start a fire if battery terminals are short cir-
cuited. Install battery in a battery box (See Key No. 10, Page
9). To prevent accidental shorting across battery terminals.
strap cover securely (See Figure 7) on the battery box. Do
not leave battery uncovered. Do not allow children to play
around the battery backup system installation.
Your backup sump pump depends on the battery used with
it for power. The better the battery, the better the perfor-
mance of the pump. We recommend the use of a size 27M
Deep Cycle Marine Battery or a size 24M Deep Cycle Marine
Battery. They will perform as indicated in Table III, below,
and stand up well to long periods of little or no use.
Use of a standard automobile battery with this charger is not
recommended. An automobile battery may require charging
after only 1-2 hours of continuous use, and the repeated
charging cycles may cause early plate failure in the battery.
Use only the recommended battery or one of the same type
and size so it will fit in the battery box (maximum size 12-
5/8" long, 7" wide and 9-3/8" high [320.7mm x 177.8mm x
238mm] including terminals) and supply enough voltage for
full performance.
