charger. If basement floor is wet, disconnect power to
basement before walking on floor.
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.
Risk of flooding. Make sure pump is
secured in sump to prevent movement and do not run
pump dry. To do so will damage seals and can cause
leaking and property damage. Failure to secure the pump
in the sump may allow the pump to move, cause switch
interference and prevent the pump from stopping or start-
ing. Make sure the sump is clear of debris. Debris can
damage or plug the pump which can result in flooding.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing the system. A ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI) is recommended for use on
any electrical appliance submerged in water.
3. Use this system only for backup sump pump duty in a
residential application. It is not designed as a primary
sump pump.
Fire Hazard. Keep sparks and flames away
from battery to prevent explosion or fire.
4. Pump clear water only with this pump.
5. Pump is permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not
try to lubricate it!
6. Keep the 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
installed, 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.
