Installation
5. Hold the coupling (key No. 4) with the channel
locks, insert the screwdriver into the tee for leverage
and tighten the tee with the screwdriver. Finish with
the tee in a straight up and down (vertical) position.
6. Clean the pipe ends with the cloth towel.
7. Glue the cut-off piece of discharge pipe into the top
of the tee. If your pipe is 1-1/4", you will need to
glue the reducer bushings into the tee and glue the
pipe into the bushings. Place the assembly onto the
primary discharge pipe. Do not glue the tee onto the
Primary Pump discharge pipe.
8. Mount the float switch assembly (Key No. 8) loosely
to the discharge pipe with the cable ties (Key Nos.
8A & 8B). Approximately 2-1/2" (63 mm) of cord
length should be left between the float and the
clamp. Adjustments may be needed; do not tighten
the cable ties. See Figure 6.
Installation of Double Pump
Assembly in Sump Pit:
1. Put the double pump assembly back into the sump pit.
NOTICE: The discharge pipe now overlaps the dis-
charge pipe leading outside.
2. Mark the discharge pipe where it should be cut. Be
sure to leave a 1/4" air gap between the ends of the
pipes. This gap will absorb noise from vibration and
allow for flexibility. See Figure 7.
3. Make the third cut (See Figure 7).

Installation of Double Pump Assembly:
1. Connect the pump discharge pipe to the exterior dis-
charge pipe with the rubber coupling and clamp kit
(Key No. 1). Do not tighten the clamps until all the
final adjustments are complete. See Figure 7.
NOTICE: For 1-1/2" discharge pipe, remove the
inner section of hose from the rubber coupling.
2. Make the final adjustments. Make sure the pumps
and the switches do not interfere with each other.
Make sure there is plenty of room for the float switch-
es to swing from their "off" to their "on" positions.
Mark and Glue Assembly:
1. Mark the pipe and the fittings at all the connections
with a pencil. These marks will be used as a
reassembly guide while gluing to be sure that every-
thing is still in the right place and nothing has
moved.
2. Loosen the rubber coupling and clamp connection.
3. Carefully pull the double pump assembly back out of
the pit.
4. Take the tee assembly off of the primary discharge
pipe. Do not take the tee off of the threaded
assembly.
5. Clean all the PVC pipe ends with the PVC cleaner.
Hazardous fumes. Follow the cement
and cleaner manufacturers instructions. Use the PVC
cement in a well ventilated area away from fire or
flames.
6. Glue the PVC fittings where indicated by the pencil
marks. Wait 10 minutes for the glue to cure.
Final Assembly:
1. Put the double pump assembly back into the pit. See
Figure 7.
2. Install and tighten the rubber coupling and clamp
kit.
3. Make the final float switch adjustments and tighten
the cable ties.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Hazardous voltage. Can cause serious or
fatal electrical shock. Review safety instructions before
operating charger. Do not modify cord or plug.
CHARGER/BATTERY INSTALLATION
NOTICE: An alarm, located in the junction box, auto-
matically sounds when the system runs if the alarm is in
the "Enable" position. The alarm is silenced when the
alarm switch is in the "Disable" position.
