Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death. Wear
eye protection.
Work in a well-ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of the battery. Avoid dropping
metal tools on the battery. If battery acid
contacts eyes, flush with water for 15
minutes. Review the safety instructions on
page 1.
When you position the control unit on the
discharge pipe, be sure the charger cord will
reach the AC power outlet, and the pump cable
and the float switch will reach the bottom of the
sump.
Position the unit in a well-ventilated
area. Do not place anything on top of the
battery. (Diagram C, page 6)
1. Mounting the control unit: (a) Thread one
plastic wire tie through the two mounting
brackets on the back of the control unit. (b)
Secure the controller to the discharge pipe of
the Pro Series pumps by wrapping the tie
around the pipe and pulling it tight.
2. Connecting the backup pump: Remove the
security tag from the pump and plug the
pump wires into the pump connector on the
back of the control unit.
3. Installing the battery fluid sensor: Remove
the cover of the battery box by pushing in the
tabs on the front and back, then lifting up.
Fan the area around the top of the battery
with a piece of cardboard (or another non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.
4. If you are using BATTERY A, replace the
battery cap that is 2nd from the POSITIVE (+)
post with the battery cap that is provided in
the Pro Series package. An arrow on the top
of the battery marks this position. There are
two holes in the battery cap. Insert the fluid
sensor in the hole that is off-center on the
top of the cap. Do not glue the sensor into
the cap.
5. If you have BATTERY B, a hole has been
molded into the top of the battery to accept
the fluid sensor rod.
The sensor hole is
marked by the label on top of the battery.
Hold the sensor straight and press it firmly
If your battery looks like the battery above,
follow these directions.
1. Place the battery box on the floor. Place the
dry (unfilled) battery into the battery box.
2. Remove the two battery caps by lifting them
up with a screwdriver. DO NOT lift the cap by
prying it up from the groove on the back of
the cap. It may damage the vent.
3. Carefully push in the perforated tab at the top
of the acid pack. Lift up the large tab and
pull out the dispensing hose. Hold the hose
upright above the pack and squeeze the hose
forcing all the acid back into the pack.
4. Position the acid pack and battery as shown
at the right. Pinch the end of the hose
together and cut off the tip. Insert the end
of the hose into each cell. Control the flow
by pinching the hose with thumb and
forefinger. Fill each cell of the battery to a
level just covering the battery plates, and
then go back and top off each cell equally.
It is important to have all the cells filled
equally or the battery will not operate
properly. The acid should reach a level about
¼” below the cap ring as shown in Diagram B
on the previous page. DO NOT OVERFILL THE
BATTERY.
A newly filled battery will sometimes require
additional acid after about 20 minutes.
Re-
examine the fill level, and add additional acid if
necessary. The battery acid may bubble at this
time and give off a sulfur-like smell, but this is
normal. After the battery has been filled, press
the caps securely on the top of the battery.
When you fill the battery for the FIRST time,
it will be the ONLY time you add acid to the
battery. In the future, when the fluid level is
low, add distilled water to the cells. NEVER
add more acid.
