Operation - Back-up Pump
(Continued)
5. A chirping sound from the control
box will accompany the red light,
indicating that the battery may
require attention or replacement.
Voltage is only an indicator of
battery condition and may not
reflect the true condition of the
battery. See Maintenance for
instructions on assessing battery
condition.
6. A single thirty-second tone will
sound when power to the system
is interrupted. The unit will reset
automatically when power is
restored. A three-second tone will
sound every time the pump starts.
Maintenance - Primary Pump
ALWAYS
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. NEVER touch sump pump,
pump motor, water or discharge piping
when pump is connected to electrical
power. NEVER handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. Let the pump cool for a minimum
of two hours before servicing
because the pump contains hot oil
under pressure and the motor is
hot.
2. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. If repairs are required,
see troubleshooting chart.
3. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspect
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
4. Pump should be checked monthly
for proper operation. CHECK PUMP
BY FOLLOWING STEP 4 LISTED IN
THE OPERATION SECTION (on
page 4).
5. Wipe water sensor surface regularly
to prevent silt or other coatings
from building up on sensor face
(see Figure 3).
6. Make sure Float Type Switches are
free to move without obstruction.
Maintenance - Back-up Pump
ALWAYS
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. NEVER touch sump pump,
pump motor, water or discharge piping
when pump is connected to electrical
power. NEVER handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. Once a month, check battery
condition.
2. Unplug the wall charger.
3. For batteries with top caps that
can be removed, the electrolyte
level should be checked and filled
to manufacturer’s specifications.
The charge for each cell should
be checked with a hydrometer. A
specific gravity of 1.265 indicates
the battery is at full charge. If the
specific gravity of any of the cells
varies more than .050, the battery
should be replaced.
NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer
can be purchased at an automotive
parts dealer.
4. Inspect the terminals and clamps
for corrosion and tightness. Clean
and tighten as required.
5. Unplug the main pump and fill
sump with water until back up
pump turns on. Repeat process two
times to be sure pump is operating
normally.
6. If pump operates normally,
plug charger into wall outlet,
turn on main pump. If pump
fails to operate normally, see
Troubleshooting guide and correct
problem. Repeat step 5.
