-The motorized back-
water flap cannot fully
close most likely due to
an obstruction in its
path.
- Levers on Ecolift
cover were not in cor-
rect position when the
cover was installed
Backwater has been
detected but the motori-
zed backwater flap can-
not close fully (most li-
kely a blockage).
Unplug control unit and dis-
connect batteries. Remove Eco-

See User’s Manual 010-844
(Sections 4.2.1)
Close the emergency manual
flap lever. After the backwater
occurrence is over attempt to re-
move the blockage as described
in this manual.
Attention: check backwater flap ope-
ration lever! In the case that the mo-
torized backwater flap cannot fully
close, the Ecolift will perform 3 flap
closure attempts in an effort to dislod-
ge any obstruction that may be pre-
venting the flap from fully closing. If
any of these 3 attempts are succes-
sful, then the Ecolift will return to nor-
mal operation and no alarm warnings
will sound. If these 3 attempts are not
successful then an alarm will sound –
this alarm can be acknowledged by
pressing the correct button on the
control unit. Allowing wastewater to
drain through the Ecolift may also help
dislodge any obstruction. Pressing
the flap closure button can test to see
if the flap can now fully close. In the
case that the obstruction has not been
cleared then the alarm will activate
again and the object will need to be re-
moved as discussed below.
