12 VOLT DC BATTERY BACKUP PUMP
1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115V
receptacle available. Do not use primary pump circuit.
The location must be within 6' of the control box and
battery. The power supply for your DC control system
plugs directly into the 115V outlet. DO NOT USE AN
ExTENSION CORD.
2. Make sure the 115V electrical supply circuit is
equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity.
3. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear
water. Do not use in septic tanks to pump effluent or
sewage pits to pump sewage.
4. Repair and service of your DC backup system should
be performed by an authorized service station.
5. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps require
the use of a variable level float switch for operation. It is
the responsibility of the installing party, to ensure that
the float switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus
or pit peculiarities and is secured so the pump will turn
“on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit be 18" in
diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and
a DC backup pump.
