Pump
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 and
installed correctly
• 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
YELLOW 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 PUMP
Unplug the main AC pump when installing or
servicing the backup pump to avoid electric
shock. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
