9. Remove the elbow from the new pump. You
will not need it. Squeeze the clamps on the
pump elbow and insert the elbow into the
new pump.
10. Screw the base of the new backup pump into
the sump foot.
11. (OPTIONAL) While you have the pump out of
the sump pit, this would be a good time to
replace the check valves. A check valve with
1½”MPT on one end, and 1½” SLIP on the
other is commonly available, or you may
order this part #1141001 from Glentronics.
(a) You will need to loosen the screws on
the no-hub connectors on both pipes. (b)
Remove the float switches. Then ease off
the Y-assembly. (c) The check valves can
then be unscrewed from the pipes and new
valves can be screwed into the pipes. (d)
Replace the Y-assembly and tighten the
screws on the no-hub connectors. (e)
Replace the float switches making sure they
are vertical with the float for the primary
pump lower than the float for the backup
pump. You will need to secure them with a
wire tie.
12. Lower the pumps into the sump pit by the
handle on the primary pump.
13. Ease the Y-assembly back into the no hub
coupling on the discharge pipe and tighten
the hose clamps.
14. Connect the backup pump to the back of the
backup control unit.
15. Insert the fluid sensor into the top of the
battery, or into the battery cap, depending
on which battery you own.
16. Connect the battery wires to the battery
terminals, BLACK to the NEGATIVE (-) post,
and RED to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace
the cover on the battery box.
17. Plug the charger from the backup control
unit into the outlet. (You should provide
added protection for the backup controller by
using a surge protector.)
18. Plug the primary pump into the blue
piggyback controller and then plug the
controller into the wall outlet.
19. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
RED button for 1 second.
20. Fill the sump with water to make sure the
primary pump is working. When the pumping
cycle is finished, lift the float switch on the
backup pump to make sure it activates the
backup pump.
REPLACING THE PRIMARY PUMP
Before you begin this process, you will need a
new primary pump. You may also want to
change the check valves at this time. The check
valves have a
1½” MPT on
one end, and a
1½” SLIP on
the other end.
See page 15 for
part numbers.
You will also
need two (2)
new wire ties.
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death. Wear
eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of the battery. Avoid dropping
metal tools on the battery. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
YOU WILL BE DISCONNECTING ALL THE
WIRES. BE SURE THEY DO NOT FALL INTO
THE SUMP PIT.

3. Remove the cover of the battery box and fan
the area around the top of the battery with a
piece of cardboard (or another non-metallic
material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen
gas that may have been emitted from the
battery.
4. Remove the fluid sensor from the battery;
remove the battery wires from the battery
terminals. Be sure they do not touch each
