DESCRIPTION
This pre-assembled sump system is designed for indoor
home sump applications. This system consists of a SP-1000
primary pump and a backup pump.
The primary system operates on 120-volt household electric
power. It is equipped with a 3-prong (GFCI) power cord. The
motor is dielectric oil filled and sealed for cooler running and
is designed to operate under water.
The battery operated back-up sump pump is included in the
event that the primary pump cannot function. It does not
replace the primary pump. A float switch automatically turns
on the backup sump pump when water activates the float. A
battery (not included) must be installed to operate the back-
up sump pump.
UNPACKING
Inspect this unit before it is used. Occasionally, products are
damaged during shipment. If the pump or components are

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product or its power cord MAY contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WORK AREA
• Do NOT operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pump
motors create sparks which MAY ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while installing
pump. Distractions CAN result in mistakes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• This primary pump must be plugged into a properly
installed GFCI grounded outlet. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do NOT use
any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are NOT sure the outlet is grounded. If the pump should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Electrical wiring MUST be performed by a qualified electrician.
Improper wiring COULD result in fatal electrical shock.
• Do NOT abuse cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the
pump or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do NOT expose battery to sparks or fl ames as an explosion
or fi re could result.
• Battery acid is corrosive. Avoid spilling on skin or clothing.
Eye protection must be worn when handling the battery.
• A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required.
• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to insure it is operating correctly. A GFCI reduces
the risk of electrical shock.
• Do NOT use an extension cord. This increases the risk of
electrical shock. If necessary, install a properly grounded outlet
closer to the pump.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• If the basement has water or moisture on the fl oor, do NOT
walk on wet area until all power is turned off. If the shutoff box
is in the basement, call an electrician. Remove pump and either
repair or replace. Failure to follow this warning COULD result in
fatal electrical shock.
