s
NOTICE
! Do not expose the charger to excessive moisture. Install charger in a dry location. Indoor use only.
a. Complete all plumbing, pump installation, and pump control switch installation before installing the charger/controller unit and before beginning
work on the electrical connections to the charger/controller junction box or the battery.
b. JUNCTION BOX INSTALLATION: Complete this step prior to installing battery. Install the junction box onto the battery case using two screws, lock
washers, and nuts, provided.
c. The charger/control unit is NOT to be plugged in until after all other electrical connections have been made as outlined in Step 2 "Electrical Connections".
d. The charger/controller unit is designed to be plugged directly into a 115 VAC wall electrical receptacle outlet in a visible location. The LED lights on the
front of the charger/controller unit as well as the switch on the face of the charger/controller junction box should be accessible and clearly visible.
e. Select a location for the charger/controller unit and the battery relative to the sump basin such that all the provided wiring will reach their respective
connections with some slack remaining in the wiring. Locate the charger/controller unit as far away from battery as the provided wiring permits.
The charger/controller unit should not be installed directly over the battery. Gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger/controller
unit. The battery should be positioned away from the wall to allow adequate ventilation of any fumes that are given off during charging.

CAUTION
! All combustible materials should be kept away from the hot surfaces of the charger/controller unit, and the charger/controller
unit should be well away from other sources of heat such as space heaters, radiators, boilers, furnace, etc.

The charger/controller unit has a cord for connecting to the junction box and black and red jumper wires for connecting from
the junction box to the battery. If any of the cords are damaged, or the charger/controller unit itself becomes damaged, immediately unplug the
charger/controller unit and remove it from service. Always disconnect the 115 VAC power supply cord before doing any service of the product and allow
the charger/controller unit to cool. Disconnect the 115 VAC power supply cord before disconnecting battery leads.
