• DO NOT modify the pump in any way.

• DO NOT lift or carry pump by power cord.

• DO NOT remove any tags from pump or cords.

• If pump is installed during construction before power is available, it must be protected from the environment to

prevent water from entering through the cord plug end, etc.

• Keep battery charger and battery box off of the floor and in a dry, cool, well ventilated area.

• Make sure sump is clear of debris. Debris can damage the pump which can result in flooding

• Maximum vertical pumping distance is 24 feet (7.3M)

• The pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build-up which may interfere with pump of float switch

operation. The float must be free to move freely through its complete travel without any restrictions. Periodically
(at least every three months), the pump should be tested to ensure proper function. This may be done by
disconnecting power to the primary pump so that the water level rises to activate the back-up unit. Be sure to
follow all safety precautions and remember to reconnect power to the primary pump and verify proper operation
after conclusion of the test.


NOTICE: If a Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor is installed, it must be at least 15 feet away from battery charger in order
to avoid nuisance CO alarms. Please refer to your CO detector’s installation guidelines for more information.
