SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for
one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury!
DANGER warns about hazards that will
cause serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
WARNING warns about hazards that can
cause serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
CAUTION warns about hazards that will or
can cause minor personal injury or property damage if
ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury due to electrical
shock or burns and property damage due to flooding,
read the safety instructions carefully before installing
pump.
Battery acid is corrosive. Do not spill on
skin, clothing, or battery charger. Wear eye and head
protection when working with battery. Connect and
disconnect DC output terminals only after removing
the charger from the AC outlet. Never allow the DC
terminals to touch each other.
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock. Do not plug in or unplug battery
charger while standing on a wet floor or in water. Be
sure one hand is free when plugging in or unplugging
charger. If basement floor is wet, disconnect power to
basement before walking on floor.
Risk of flooding. Do not run pump dry.
To do so will damage seals and can cause leaking and
property damage.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing the system. A ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) is recommended for use on
any electrical appliance submerged in water.
3. Use this system only for backup sump pump duty
in a residential application. It is not designed as a
primary sump pump.
4. Do not lift pump by electrical cord.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not lift the
pump by the electrical cord; lift pump only by the
discharge pipe, lifting ring or handle on the pump. Lifting
by the cord can damage the cord.
5. Pump clear water only with this pump.
6. Pump is permanently lubricated at the factory. Do
not try to lubricate it!
7. Keep battery charger and battery box off of the floor
and in a dry, cool, well ventilated area.
NOTICE: If a Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor is
installed, it must be at least 15 feet away from
battery charger in order to avoid nuisance CO
alarms. Please refer to your CO detector's installation
guidelines for more information.
8. To avoid danger of fire or explosion, keep sparks and
flame (pilot light) away from battery.
9. Maximum vertical pumping distance is 16 feet
(4.9M) for Model MBSP and 18 feet (5.5M) for
Model MBSP-PLUS-18T.
10. Make sure sump is clear of debris. Debris can
damage the pump which can result in flooding.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The battery back-up sump system is not a sub stitute for
your primary sump pump. It is designed to temporarily
back up your primary sump pump during a power outage
or other problem which prevents normal operation of
the primary pump. Do not use this system to pump
flammable liquids or chemicals. Pump clear water only
with this pump.
Keep battery charger dry and protected from damage.
In an emergency (such as an extended power outage)
which depletes the system deep cycle battery, your
automobile battery may be temporarily substituted.
Be sure to replace the system deep cycle battery as
soon as possible. Use of an automobile battery instead
of a 27M or 24M deep cycle battery in this system
will significantly reduce system total performance.
Automobile batteries are not designed for this type of
application and will be quickly ruined by the repeated
charge/discharge cycling. Do not use GEL-type
batteries or maintenance-free (sealed) batteries with
this charger. GEL-type batteries require a lower voltage
than the charger is designed for; they may overcharge.
Maintenance-free (sealed) batteries require a higher
voltage and may never reach full charge.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications
involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine
will void warranty.
