RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
In the event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current. The
SUMP BOSS must be properly grounded.
The SUMP BOSS is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be used with an outlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. The
outlet must be the same conguration as
the plug. Where a two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it must be replaced; contact
a qualied electrician. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, the grounding plug
blade must not be cut off at the plug. Do
not use the three-prong plug with a two
prong adapter. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
Use the SUMP BOSS only with adequate
wiring that is up to code.
Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
The SUMP BOSS is capable of and in-
tended to generate electrical current when
unplugged from the wall outlet or when the
AC power is shut off.
Because the SUMP BOSS uses batter-
ies, both the battery and the power cord
must be disconnected to neutralize the
SUMP BOSS. Failure to disconnect both
the battery and the power cord will result
in electrical shock sufcient to cause injury
or death.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A. Servicing of batteries should be
performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
B. When replacing batteries, use
only models conforming to Battery
Council International (BCI) 27 DC
specications for GROUP 27 DEEP
CYCLE MARINE BATTERIES. Other

E. CAUTION – A battery can present a
risk of electrical shock and high short circuit
current. The following precautions should
be observed when working with batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings or other metal
objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Do not lay tools or metal objects on top
of batteries.
4. Wear safety goggles and a face shield.
4. Spilled electrolyte should be washed
down with a suitable acid neutralizing
agent. A common practice is to use a
solution of approximately one pound
(500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to
approximately one gallon (4 liters) of
water. The bicarbonate of soda solu-
tion can be added until the evidence
of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The
resulting liquid should be ushed with
water and the area dried.
G. CAUTION – Lead acid batteries can
present a risk of re because they generate
oxygen and hydrogen gas. The following
procedures should be followed:
1. Do not smoke near batteries.
2. Do not cause ame or spark in battery
area.
3. Discharge static electricity from body
before touching batteries by rst
touching a grounded metal surface.
H. See Battery Manufacturers’
installation manual for additional installation
maintenance and safety instructions.
F. CAUTION – The electrolyte is a
dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive
and corrosive. The following procedures
should be observed:
1. Wear full eye protection and clothing.
2. If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it
off immediately.
3. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, ush
thoroughly and immediately with water.
Seek medical attention.
C. CAUTION – Do not dispose of batteries in
a re. The batteries may explode.
D. CAUTION – Do not open or mutilate
the batteries. Released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It may
be toxic.

DISCHARGE PIPING AND
AUXILIARY PUMP/ALARM
FLOAT INSTALLATION
1. Discharge piping is to be installed per
FIGURE C. Always make sure that an
individual check valve is used for each
pump to avoid re-circulation (which
could cause ooding) during pumping.
Once the pump and piping are in place,
mount the auxiliary oat on the discharge
pipe.
1. Undo the hose clamp on the switch
bracket and put it around the discharge
pipe. Tighten it only to a loose t, at
this time.
2. Adjust the auxiliary oat height so that
the oat will not turn on this switch until
the water level has surpassed the on
level of the main SUMP BOSS oat
switch, which can be adjusted by sliding
the lower rubber stop up or down on
the oat rod. This switch in turn should
be adjusted to turn on at a higher level
than your primary pump switch. See
FIGURE D for an example.
3. Once you have your auxiliary switch set
at the desired height position so that
nothing in the basin will interfere with
its operation, tighten up the mounting
clamp.
CAUTION: Do not let the ends of the
power cords with this unit get wet
or submersed in the water during
installation.

Batteries & Carbon Monoxide
(CO) Detectors
All lead-acid batteries used by any back
up pump system regardless of brand emit
gases when charging. The emission of
these gases can possibly produce an odd
sulphur-like smell or sometimes will cause
a nearby CO detector to needlessly sound
an alarm. To prevent activation of CO
detectors, move the battery as far from the
detector as possible or provide a means
for the gases to escape outdoors.
Read the instructions that came with your
detector. This situation may be covered in
the literature. Always follow the advice of
the detector instructions rst.
If the CO detector alarm sounds, do not
assume that it is caused by the back-
up pump’s battery! You may have a
real presence of CO! Take all steps
necessary to insure personal safety.
After you are certain there is no CO present,
(CO can be produced by a furnace, water
heater or similar devices that use natural
gas and/or produce combustion) then
probably a battery being charged has
produced the gases responsible. The
manufacturer of the detector may be able
to supply instructions to solve this problem.

OPERATION OF THE SUMP BOSS &
“SMART CHARGER” SYSTEM.
SUMP BOSS TESTING
AND OPERATION
The SUMP BOSS Battery Pump System
is the most advanced system on the
market today. Its microprocessor-based
“Smart Charger” system, coupled with
the LCD display and alarm, allows it to
tell you in what state the system is at all
times. The following is a step-by-step
description of the LCD screens and alarm
codes for the system during normal AC
operation as well as during DC operation.
1. Unplug your primary pump and ll the pit
with water until the SUMP BOSS starts
pumping.
2. Check to make sure that the pump turns
on and off at the desired levels. If it
does not, adjust the rubber stops on the
oat rod by sliding them up or down to
achieve the desired level. Figure G.
3. Manually lift the oat on the
Auxiliaryalarm/pump switch to make
sure it is properly set and working. If this
switch needs further adjustment, loosen
the hose clamp on the bracket and slide
it up or down on the discharge pipe and
re-tighten it at the desired level.
NOTE: During the testing you will hear the
alarm sound. This is normal and will be ex-
plained in the next section.
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN THE PUMP
DRY! SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR!
Always make sure there is sufcient water
in the basin before running the pump.

Screen One. This means that AC line power is present
and the battery is fully charged. No alarms should
sound.
Screen Two. This means the microprocessor has
determined the Battery is in need of a charge. This is
perfectly normal and will occur from time to time. No
alarm should sound.
Screen Three. This means that the pump is in use on
the AT EACH PUMP 115v AC line. Each time the pump
runs in this mode, the START-UP alarm will beep for
one second.
Screen Four. This screen will appear after Screen
Three has been on for three seconds. It will remain
on for ve seconds before alternating back to Screen
Three. These screens will only appear when the pump
is actually running off of the battery. This screen will tell
you the percent of battery life left in the DC mode under
true pump load, within the actual useable battery voltage
range. The reason this screen does not appear when
the pump is idle is that you will not get a true reading
when the battery is not being used, or under load.
Screen Five. This means that either the primary or
the auxiliary switch has turned on, but the pump is not
drawing any current. When this occurs Screen Five
will alternate with Screen Six every three seconds. This
scenario will sound a continuous beeping alarm. Screen
Six. This is the same scenario as mentioned on Screen
