6. Add distilled water to the battery filler bottle

and replace the nozzle. Place the battery filler
into each cell of the battery and press down.
It will fill the battery cell to the correct level
and stop automatically. If distilled water is
not available, tap water with a low mineral
content may be used. Well water is not
recommended. NEVER ADD MORE ACID.

7. Replace the battery caps. Replace the fluid

sensor in the hole on the top of the battery. The
hole is marked with an arrow. Replace the
battery cables…the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE
(-) post, and the RED wire to the POSITIVE (+)
post. Replace the wing nuts and tighten.

8. Replace the cover on the battery box.

9. Plug the charger back into the outlet, and

plug in the AC pump and blue piggyback
controller. (You should provide additional
protection for the backup controller by using
a surge protector.)

10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the

GRAY button on the front of the control
panel for one (1) second.

The pump was activated

When the water rises in the sump pit and
activates the float switch, the pump will begin
pumping, and the “Pump was activated” light
and alarm will turn on. Try to determine what
caused the system to activate.

• Check the main AC pump for failure. It may

not be working, the float switch may be stuck,
or it may be too small to handle the inflow of
water.

• Make sure the check valve is working

• Make sure the discharge pipe is not clogged or

frozen

• If the power was out, the backup pump was

automatically activated. You need to push the
GRAY button on the front of the control panel
to silence the alarm. The pump will continue
to operate even if the reset button is not
pressed.

REPLACING THE BACKUP PUMP

Before you begin this process, you will need a
new backup pump. You may also want to change
the check valves at this time. The check valves
have a 1½” MPT on one end, and a 1½” SLIP on
the other end. See page 15 for part numbers.

You will also need two (2) new wire ties.

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. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.

YOU WILL BE DISCONNECTING ALL THE
WIRES. BE SURE THEY DO NOT FALL INTO
THE SUMP PIT.

1. Unplug the primary pump, and its blue

piggyback controller from the wall outlet.
Unplug the charger for the backup pump
control unit, too.

2. Unplug the backup pump from the back of the

gray control unit.

3. Remove the cover of the battery box and 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. Remove the sensor from the battery, and

remove the battery wires from the battery
terminals. Be sure they do not touch each
other while one is connected to the battery.

5. Slowly loosen the rubber union on the top of

the combination pump assembly to separate
the pipes. The water trapped in the pipe will
pour out into the sump as the rubber union is
loosened.

6. Separate the pump assembly from the rubber

union and lift it out of the sump pit by the
handle on the primary pump. Tip the
assembly over the sump pit to drain away any
remaining water.

7. Lay the pumps down and remove the two (2)

screws holding the backup pump to the Sump
foot.

8. (a) Squeeze the clamps on the elbow of the

backup pump with a wrench to loosen them.
(b) Then squeeze the clamps together with
your fingers and pull the pump off of the
elbow.
