TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
BACKUP PUMP
It is important to manually test the float
switches periodically or after any maintenance.
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.
Lift the float up with a pencil, or another non-
metallic item, and let go. This will activate the
pump. The control unit will run the pump for
approximately 25 seconds so it can empty all the
water in the sump pit. If there is no water in
the pit, the pump can run dry for this amount of
time. The alarm will sound and the “Pump was
activated” light will go on. After the pump has
stopped, push the RED button to silence the
alarm. If the RED button is pressed before the
pump has stopped, the alarm will go off
temporarily. Wait for the pump to stop pumping,
and then push the RED button on the front of
the control unit to completely silence the alarm.
While the pumps are active, water will come out of
the 3/16” hole that is drilled in the pipe above the
pump. This is normal. The hole is needed to
prevent an air lock within the system. DO NOT
obstruct this hole or an air lock may prevent the
pump from activating, and the basement will flood.
BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP WHEN
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TEST.
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
PRIMARY PUMP
Lift the float up with a pencil, or another non-
metallic item, and let it go to activate the pump.
The pump will run an additional 10 seconds after
the float returns to the original position. It will
not damage the pump to run it for this short
time if the sump pit is dry. However, DO NOT
hold the float up for an extended time without
water in the sump pit.
While the pumps are active, water will come out
of the 3/16” hole that is drilled in the pipe
above the pump. This is normal. The hole is
needed to prevent an air lock within the system.
DO NOT obstruct this hole or an air lock may
prevent the pump from activating, and the
basement will flood.
MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Maintenance should be performed 1-2 times per
year
1. Lift the float switches on both pumps as
described above.
2. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit
and pump strainer.
3. Remove all debris floating in the water.
4. Remove all debris from the float switch cage.
5. Fill the pit with water. Make sure the pumps
turn on at the intended levels.
6. While the pump is running, make sure the
pump is evacuating water at a good pace and
water is coming out of the 3/16” air bleed
hole.
7. Remove the fluid sensor and yellow cap from
the battery and rinse any residue buildup from
the bottom of the battery cap. Replace the
cap and fluid sensor.
