obstructions inside the sump or lid.
10. Install the Fit Controller (see Figure 3) by using the anchors provided.
For best cooling, install wall mount conguration. The controller
shouldbelocatedatleast3'(1m)abovethesump.
11. Connect the leads from the controller to the battery terminals.
Positive (+) lead to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead to
negative battery terminal.
CAUTION
Correct battery hook-up is essential for operation
of the system. Use wing nuts supplied with battery and eyelet
connectorsonbatterywireleads.Thepositiveterminalisthelarger

for several minutes.
3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before touching
any component in the sump pit.

pump will run, and the alarm will sound after about 1 second. Lower
the operational float switch after the alarm sounds. Takecarethat
the intake of the DC pump is set above the inlet of the primary pump.
Press silence for 3 seconds to clear out the alarm and reset the unit.
CAUTION
Continuous dry running may cause overheating and
damage the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump
will shut off. Be sure there are no obstructions around the float.
