LIST OF WARNINGS
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF CAUTIONS
1. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure each electrical outlet should
be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory listed
circuit analyzer, which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground
wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a
qualified licensed electrician.
2. For your protection always disconnect the power supply from its
power source before handling the components of your DC backup
pump or the primary pump.
3. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be
performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.
4. All electrical and safety codes must be followed in addition to the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.
5. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and
battery connection at least once a month. Batteries contain
acid and caution must be taken when handling.
6. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for
use in swimming pool areas.
7. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115V receptacle available.
Do not use primary pump circuit. The location must be within 6' of
the control box and battery. The power supply for your DC control
system plugs directly into the 115V outlet. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
2. Make sure the 115V electrical supply circuit is equipped with
fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity.
3. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do not
use in septic tanks to pump efuent or sewage pits to pump sewage.
4. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed
by an authorized service station.
5. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use of
a variable level oat switch for operation. It is the responsibility of
the installing party, to ensure that the tethered oat switch will not
hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured
so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit
be 18" in diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and a
DC backup pump.
REFER TO WARRANTY ON PAGE 2.
Turbulence caused by high velocity incoming water
can cause the DC pump to airlock. If this condition exists, the incoming
water must be bafed to avoid excessive turbulence.
ANY CHANGES MADE TO THIS DOCUMENT ALSO MAY AFFECT FM1311, FM1311S, FM1311F AND HF1312.
