SUMP PUMP DESCRIPTION
The WSB1275 is a maintenance-free, seal lead acid, rechargeable
battery. The construction and sealing technique prevents electrolyte
leakage from the termianls or case under normal usage.
Sealed lead-acid batteries are rechargeable batteries that
recombine suppresses gases, thus eliminating the need to add
water. Since they are sealed, the batteries will not leak and can
be installed in certain applications where “wet” battery can not be
installed.
UNPACKING
Inspect this unit before it is used. Occasionally, products
are damaged during shipment. If the pump or components
are damaged, return the unit to the place of purchase for

12 Volt-75 Amp Hour
Avoid placing the battery near a heat-generating part
(such as a transformer). Using the battery near a heat source may cause the
battery to overheat, ignite, or burst.
In applications which use more than one battery,
first make sure of correct mutual connections between batteries, and then
connect the battery with the charger or the load. Make sure to firmly connect
the (+) pole of the batteries to the (+) terminal of the charger or load, and
the (-) pole to the (-) terminal in the same way. If the poles/terminals of the
batteries, the charger and the load are connected improperly, explosion,
ignition or damage to the batteries and/or equipment may occur, causing
injurt to personnel in some cases.
Be extemely careful not to drop the battery onto feet
to avoid the possibility of serious injury.
The operating temperature range for the battery
is specified below. Use the battery at temperatures beyond this range may
cause battery damage.
Normal operating temerature of the battery is 77°F (25°C).
When charged: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C)
Do not allow the battery to be immersed in or wetted
with water/sea-water; as it may corrode the battery, ignite or create an
electric shock hazard.
Do not place or store the battery in an automobile
in hot weather, under direct sunlight, in front of a stove, or near fire. Use or
storage of the battery in these places may cause fire or bursting.
Use of the battery in a dusty environment is not
recommended, as it may cause the battery to short. The battery should be
periodically checked when used in such an environment.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Avoid sudden movements or applying shocks to
the battery e.g. from dropping the battery. Damage and deterioration of
battery characteristics may occur if the battery is dropped.
Carefully check the life characteristics of the
battery when in actual loaded mode. Life of the battery may vary greatly
depending on charge/discharge conditions.
INSTALLATION
Insulate metallic tools such as screwdrivers and
wrenches with a vinyl tape, etc. Using non-insulated tools may cause a
short circuit, and the heat or sparks generated by the short circuit could
result in burns, damage to the battery, or ignite an explosion.
Do not place the battery in a closed
room or near fire. Placing the battery in such a location could
result in an explosion or fire due to hydrogen gas emitted by the
battery.
Avoid using organic solvents such as thinner,
gasoline, lamp oil, benzene and liquid detergent to clean the batteries. The
use of any of the above materials may cause the containers and/or the
covers of the batteries to crack and could ignite.
Avoid placing the battery in an
environment that is susceptible to floods. There is the possibility
that if they battery is immersed in water, it may ignite or cuase
electric shocks to personnel.
When unpacking the battery, check the battery is
free from cracks, fractures, tipping and leakage.
When loading the battery in equipment, mount it in
the lower most section of the equipment i norder to ensure easy checking,
maintenance and replacement. Do not charge the battery in the inverted
(upside-down) position: overcharging in the inverted position may cause
battery leakage from the safety valve.
Do not carry the battery by hanging it from the
terminal or the lead wire, as it may cause damage to the battery.
When carrying the battery, exercise caution not to
apply a strong shock to it by dropping it, jarring it or causing it to collide
with other objects, as this may cause damage to the battery.
Do not underestimate the weight of the battery.
As it is heavy for its volume, careless hadnling of the battery may cause
backache or other injuries.
Do not cover the battery with a
material that generates static electricity, such as a PVC sheet.
A static charge may trigger fire or explosion.
In fastening bolts and nuts of the battery, do not
over tighten: otherwise, damage of the terminal may occur.
Apply insulation covers to terminals, joint
parts, bolts and buts of the battery in order to prevent electric shocks to
personnel.
Fasten the batteries firmly to the equipment to
avoid the influence of vibration and/or physical shock.
Skilled personnel (specialists) such as personnel
qualified for maintaining battery equipment should install the battery and/
or equipment. Handling of the battery by unskilled personnel may lead to
dangerous errors.
PREPARATION PRIOR TO OPERATION
Be sure to provide enough insulation
around the lead wires and/or plates used between the batteries
and the application. Insufficient insulation may cause an electric
shock, heat generating from a short circuit (or excess current)
may result in an injury, burn, smoke or ignition.
Do not connect the battery directly to a power
outlet or a cigarette lighter socket of an automobile without using a
charger. Direct connection to power sources may cause battery over
heating or bursting.
Turn off the switch of the circuit when connecting
the battery to a charger or a load.
If newly purchased batteries exhibit
any irregularities in initial use, such as rusting, over heating or
other problems, they should not be used. Continued use of an
irregular battery may lead to fire or bursting of the battery.
NOTE: Since the batteries tend to lose a part of their capacity due to
self-discharge during shipment and storage, recharge the batteries
before you use them after purchase or long-term storage in order to
restore their full capacity.
METHOD OF USE
The batteries must be charged using
the specified charging conditions indicated in this manual. If
the batteries are charged under conditions other than those
specified, they may ignite or explode.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals of the
battery to each other with a metallic material such as wire; do not allow
tools such as pipe wrenches and wrenches to touch points of different
voltages on the battery; and do not bring metallic necklaces or hair pins
into contact with the battery or store them together with the battery.
Failure to observe these precautions may cause the battery to overheat,
emit hydrogen gas, ignite, or burst.
Do not throw the battery in fire or
heat the battery. The battery may burst or generate a toxic gas
if placed in contact with fire.
Check the battery for any sign of irregularities
in appearance. If these is any damage to the battery case/cover such as
cracks, deformation or leakage, replace the battery with a new one. If the
battery appears dirty or dusty, clean it. If a battery of irregular appearance
continues to be used, decrease of capacity, leakage of electricity, fumes,
ignition or other problems may result.
- Do not charge the battery with its (+) and (-) terminals and the
(+) and (-) terminals of the charger connected in reverse.
- Do not apply a solder directly to the battery terminals.
- Avoid mixed usage of batteries differing in type, manufacturer
or history of use.
- Do not remove or damage the outer case of the battery.
- Do not apply strong shocks or jolts to the battery.
Do not continue to charge the battery beyond the
time specified in the instructions of use of the charger. If the
battery is not fully charged even after being charged for a
longer time than specified, discontinue charging and remove
the battery from the charger. Charging for a longer time than
specified may cause the battery to ignite or burst.
Avoid over-discharge, and charge the battery
immediately after discharge. The instruction manual of the equipment
should contain information telling the user not to over-discharge the
battery and to charge the battery immediately after the use of the
equipment (discharge). Even if discharge of the battery is stopped before
voltage decreases to such a level that the battery-driven equipment stops
being operational, deterioration of the battery may be accelerated by the
sulphation phenomenon if it is not recharged after use. The love voltage
cut-off circuit should be designed so that it can completely cut off the
discharge current including a weak current.
If a charge method and a charge condition other
than that described in the specification and the technical brochures is
to be adopted, charge/discharge characteristics and life characteristics
of the battery should be thoroughly checked in advance. The adoption of
adequate charge methods and adequate charge conditions are crucial to
ensure safe use of the battery and for fully utilizing the battery capacity.
For the cycle operation of the battery (application
of the battery as the main source of power by repeating charge and
discharge), use a charger which operated by controlling either the
charge period or charge quantity. Continue charging the battery for the
time specified or until the charge completion lamp, if provided, indicates
completion of charge. If charging is suspended before completion, the
service life of the battery may be shortened.
Avoid parallel charging of batteries in cycle
use, as this may shorten the service life of the batteries by causing an
imbalace in charge/discharge state among the batteries connected in
paralled.
During trickle or float charge of the battery,
measure the total voltage with a high-accuracy voltmeter of Class 0.5 or
better. If the voltage readout does not meet the specified value, investigate
the reason and take proper measures. A total voltage tha tis lower than
the specified value indicates insufficient charge which may reduce the
battery capacity; a coltage higher than specified indicates an overcharge
which may shorten service life of the battery or cause problems such as
thermal runaway in some cases.
Make sure to turn off the switch of the battery
equipment after use, otherwise excessive discharge may cause
deterioration in battery performanceand shorten service life.
When the equipment is not used for a long period,
remove the battery from the equipment, charge it fully, and store it in a
place where humidity is low. Unsatisfactory storage conditions may cause
deterioration in battery performance, shorten service life and could cause
rust to form on the terminals.
MAINTENANCE AND CHECKING
Clean the battery with a slightly damp cloth,
ensure there is no excess water on the cloth by squeezing it well. Do not
use dry cloth or a duster, as it may cause the battery to generate static
electricity, leading to possible ignition and bursting of the battery.
Replace the battery with a new one within the
time period specified in the instruction manual or equipment.
- Follow the guideline which states the battery should be replaced
when its capacity has decreased to 50% of the initial capacity (at
an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C) or below). In the trickle
or float application of the battery (application as stand-by power)
at an ambient temperature higher than 77°F (25°C), the period
for which the battery can be used before replacement is shortened
by a half for ever 10°C rise of temperature. When the discharge
current becomes higher than 0.25 CA, the run time and battery life
is also shortened.
Do not apply organic solvents such as paint
thinner, gasoline, kerosene and benzene or liquid detergents to the battery.
If these are brought into contact with the battery case, it may crack,
causing leakage.

EMERGENCY MEASURES
The battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, a very
toxic substance. If the battery leaks and the liquid substance inside spills
on the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with plenty of clean water.
If the liquid splashes into eyes, immediately flush the eyes with plenty of
clean water and consult a doctor. Sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause loss
of eyesight and acid on the skin will cause burns.
If any corrosion of the terminals, leakage or
deformation of the case of the battery is found, do not use the battery and
turn off the power supply. If a battery, which is irregular or substandard in
any way, continues to be used, leakage, fire or bursting of the battery may
occur and there is also a potential for electric shock.
STORAGE
Store the battery in a stable position so as to keep
the terminals of the battery away from any metalloc or other conductive
material (including items that may fall or frop onto the battery).
Protect the battery from rain. If the terminals of
the battery come into contact with water, they may corrode.
Keep the battery in the upright position as a
general rule, and do not apply abnormally strong vibration or shocks to
the battery. Transportation of the battery in an abnormal position or the
application of abnormally strong vibrations or shocks to the battery may
cause damage to the battery and the deterioration of characteristics.
When storing the battery, remove it from the
equipment or disconnect it from the charger or the load and keep it in
a place where temperature is low. Do not store the battery under direct
sunlight or in high temperatures (140°F (60°C) or higher) or in a highly
humid atmosphere, because rusting, deterioration of performance and
life of the battery may occur.
During storage of the battery, charge it at least
once every six months (when ambient temperature is 77°F (25°C) or
below). Shorten the interval of charging to a third by every 50°F (10°C)
rise of ambient temperature. If the battery as been stored for a long
period in a discharged state, it may not be able to regain its capacity
even if it recharged.
If the battery is stored for a year or longer
without being charge, its service life may be shortened.
Store the battery after fully charging it,
otherwise its service life may be shortened.
Use the battery as soon as possible. The
battery gradually deteriorates during storage and thus its decreased
capacity may be irreversible.
DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
This battery is fully recyclable and should
be accepted at any location that accepts common automotive starter
batteries. Examples of places that accept these batteries are: County or
municipal recycling drop-off centers, scrap metal dealers, and retailers
who sell automotive replacement lead acid starter batteries.
