GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
This pump is designed to be installed in a sump basin along with a primary, 115V sump pump
for removing clear drain water. It is not a substitute for a primary sump pump. It is designed to
temporarily backup the primary sump pump in the event of a power outage or 115V pump failure.
The sump basin must be at least 18-in deep by 14-in diameter.
This system is designed to work with a deep-cycle marine battery, either a flooded lead-acid battery
or a sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery. Use of an automobile battery instead of a deep-cycle
marine battery in this system will significantly reduce pump performance. Automobile batteries are not
designed for this type of application and will not stand up to repeated charge and discharge cycling.
Both the primary pump and DC backup pumps will require check valves in the discharge pipes for
proper operation.
NOTE: Pump must be submerged in water before operation. Running the pump dry will cause
damage and void the warranty.
NOTE: The alarm will sound after connecting the battery. It will continue to sound until all
connections are made and the float switch is in the down position.
The pump will continue to run for an additional 10 seconds after the float has been lowered. The
alarm will continue to sound while the pump is working.
Place the battery in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area on a shelf or protective plywood board. If a carbon
monoxide (CO detector) is installed in the same area as the DC pump system, it must be at least
15 ft. away from the battery in order to avoid nuisance CO alarms. Refer to CO detector installation
guidelines for more information.
