ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS

Risk of electrical shock and fire hazard. May

result in death serious injury, shock or

burns. To help reduce these risks, observe

the following precautions:

• DO NOT walk on wet areas of the basement

until all power has been turned off. If the

main power supply is in a wet basement, call

an electrician.

• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power

source before servicing or making adjustments.

• ALWAYS unplug the control unit and

disconnect the cables from the battery before

attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet

hands or when standing on a wet or damp

surface while the pump is plugged into the

power source.

• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY

GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This

pump is wired with a 3-prong grounded plug.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain

that it is only connected to a properly

grounded 3-prong receptacle. If you have a 2-

prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician

replace it with a 3-prong receptacle according

to local codes and ordinances.

• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the

ground prong from the plug.

• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical

outlet should be within the length of the

pump's power cord, and at least 4 feet above

the floor level to minimize potential hazards

from flood conditions.

• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp

objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid

kinking the cord.

• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a fuse or

circuit breaker rated to handle the power

requirements noted on the nameplate of the

pump.

To reduce the risk of hazards that can cause

injury or property damage, observe the

following precautions:

• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to

carry the pumps. Use the handle.

BATTERY PREPARATION

Sulfuric acid can cause blindness or severe

burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or

clothing. In the event of accident, flush

with water and call a physician immediately.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

To help reduce these risks, observe the

following precautions:

• Someone should be within range of your voice

or close enough to come to your aid when you

work near a lead-acid battery.

• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in

case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

• Wear eye and clothing protection and avoid

touching your eyes while working with battery

acid or working near the battery.

• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash

immediately with soap and water. If acid

enters eye, immediately flood eye with run-

ning cold water for at least 15 minutes and get

medical attention.

• Battery posts and terminals contain lead and

lead compounds, chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer and reproductive

harm. Wash hands after handling.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Explosive gases could cause serious injury

or death. Cigarettes, flames or sparks could

cause battery to explode in enclosed spaces.

Charge in well-ventilated area. Always

shield eyes and face from battery. Keep

vent caps tight and level.

To help reduce these risks, observe the

following precautions:

• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the

vicinity of the battery.

• Use the Basement Watchdog control unit for

charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. DO NOT

use the control unit for charging dry-cell

batteries that are most commonly used with

home appliances.

• Be sure the area around the battery is well-

ventilated.

• When cleaning or adding water to the battery,

first fan the top of the battery with a piece of

cardboard or another non-metallic

material to

blow away any hydrogen or oxygen gas that

may have been emitted from the battery.

• DO NOT drop a metal tool onto the battery. It

might spark or short-circuit the battery and

cause an explosion.

• Remove personal metal items such as rings,

bracelets, watches, etc. when working with a

lead-acid battery. A short circuit through one of

these items can melt it causing a severe burn.

• ALWAYS remove the charger from the electrical

outlet before connecting or disconnecting the

battery cables. Never allow the rings to touch

each other.

• Check the polarity of the battery posts. The

POSITIVE (+) battery post usually has a larger

diameter than the NEGATIVE (-) post.

• When connecting the battery cables, first

connect the small ring on the end of the

WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post of the

battery, and then connect the large ring on

end of the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post

of the battery.

Do not use system to pump flammable or

explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,

kerosene, etc.
