ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
Risk of electrical shock and fire hazard. May
result in death, serious injury, shock or burns.
To help reduce these risks, observe the
following precautions:
• DO NOT walk on wet areas of the basement
until all power has been turned off. If the
main power supply is in a wet basement, call
an electrician.
• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power
source before servicing or making adjustments.
• ALWAYS unplug the control unit and
disconnect the cables from the battery before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet
hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface while the pump is plugged into the
power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This
pump is wired with a 3-prong grounded plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain
that it is only connected to a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle. If you have a 2-
prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician
replace it with a 3-prong receptacle according
to local codes and ordinances.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the
ground prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical
outlet should be within the length of the
pump's power cord, and at least 4 feet above
the floor level to minimize potential hazards
from flood conditions.
• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord.
• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a fuse or
circuit breaker rated to handle the power
requirements noted on the nameplate of the
pump.
To reduce the risk of hazards that can cause
injury or property damage, observe the
following precautions:
• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to
carry the pumps. Use the handle.
• DO NOT pull on the cord to disconnect the
system or the pump. Pull the plug.
• DO NOT expose the control units to rain or
snow.
• DO NOT operate the pumps or control units if
they have been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT use pumps in pits handling raw
sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.
• DO NOT disassemble the pumps or control
units. When service is required, contact
Glentronics' technical support at 800-991-
0466, option 3. Return the product to the
manufacturer for any repairs at the following

BATTERY PREPARATION
Sulfuric acid can cause blindness or severe
burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. In the event of accident, flush with
water and call a physician immediately. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
To help reduce these risks, observe the
following precautions:
• Someone should be within range of your voice
or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
• Wear eye and clothing protection and avoid
touching your eyes while working with battery
acid or working near the battery.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with run-
ning cold water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention.
• Battery posts and terminals contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Explosive gases could cause serious injury
or death. Cigarettes, flames or sparks could
cause battery to explode in enclosed spaces.
Charge in well-ventilated area. Always shield
eyes and face from battery. Keep
vent caps tight and level.
To help reduce these risks, observe the
following precautions:
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the
vicinity of the battery.
• Use the Pro Series control unit for charging a
LEAD-ACID battery only. DO NOT use the
control unit for charging dry-cell batteries that
are most commonly used with home
appliances.
• Be sure the area around the battery is well-
ventilated.
• When cleaning or adding water to the battery,
first fan the top of the battery with a piece of
cardboard or another non-metallic material to
blow away any hydrogen or oxygen gas that
may have been emitted from the battery.
• DO NOT drop a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery and
cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, watches, etc. when working with a
lead-acid battery. A short circuit through one
of these items can melt it causing a severe
burn.
• ALWAYS remove the charger from the electrical
outlet before connecting or disconnecting the
battery cables. Never allow the rings to touch
each other.
• Check the polarity of the battery posts. The
POSITIVE (+) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the NEGATIVE (-) post.
• When connecting the battery cables, first
connect the small ring on the end of the
WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post of the
battery, and then connect the large ring on
end of the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post
of the battery.
Do not use system to pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc.
