TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
BACKUP PUMP
It is important to manually test the float
switches periodically or after any maintenance.
!
DANGER
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 o
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

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.

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.
8. Check and clean battery terminals.
