Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Basement Watchdog pumps. You will need to refer to it

before attempting any installation or maintenance.

ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.

Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property

damage, serious injury, or death.

• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making

adjustments.

• 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 dedicated fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle the

power requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.

• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.

• DO NOT pull on the float switch cord.

• DO NOT expose the control unit to water, rain or snow.

• DO NOT place the controller on the floor. The electrical outlet should be within the

length of the pump’s power cord and at least 4 ft above the floor.

• DO NOT operate the pump or control unit if it has been damaged in any way.

• DO NOT use sump pumps in pits handling raw sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.

This product is for ground water use only.

• DO NOT disassemble the pump or control unit. 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 address:

NOTICES • The Basement Watchdog SIT-33D and SIT-50D come equipped with a built-in air relief valve located on the top of the pump. While the pump is active, some water may come out of the valve. This is normal. The valve is needed to prevent an air lock within the pump. DO NOT obstruct the air relief valve or an air lock may prevent the pump from activating. • The control unit must receive 115V AC +/- 5% and 60 Hz from the AC outlet. • Primary pumps will not provide protection during a power outage.
PAGE 3
Dual Float Controller Backup Installation This control box contains a piggyback switch that powers the Basement Watchdog Dual Float. The Dual Float Controller will activate the pump when either float is lifted, and then shuts off automatically 10 seconds after the float drops. When the power goes out, the Basement Watchdog AC sump pumps will not operate. For protection during a power outage, a Basement Watchdog battery backup system can be installed.
