READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR
LITTLE GIANT PUMP. KNOW THE PUMP'S APPLICATION,
LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL
YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
During installation, follow all local electrical and safety codes, as
well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-
type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure
that it is connected to a properly-grounded, grounding-type
receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
For maximum safety, this pump should be connected to a three-
prong grounded outlet equipped with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) device.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Pump should only be used with
liquids compatible with pump component materials. Do not use
in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by
the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. Failure to follow this warning can result
in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water. Failure to follow
this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source
before attempting to service or remove any component. If the
power disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and
tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly
check hoses for weakness or wear, making certain that all
connections are secure. Perform routine maintenance as required
and in accordance with the Service Instructions section.
In any installations where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup
system(s) and/or alarm should be used.

TO COMPLY WITH THESE
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor
bearing failures, etc.
DESCRIPTION
This Little Giant condensate pump automatically removes water
that drips from an air conditioner evaporative coil. The pump is
controlled by a float/switch mechanism, which turns on the pump
when approximately 1" of water collects in its tank, and turns off the
pump when the water in the tank drains to approximately 1/2".
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to cycle several
times, collecting condensate in a separate container to help
flush any residual oils that may remain in the system.
2. Carefully unpack the pump. Remove the cardboard packing
from the motor cover air slots. Carefully slide the packing
away from the pump. This packing is used to prevent switch
movement during shipment.
3. Mounting the pump: The tank has two slots provided to mount
the unit (Figure 1). The slots are located on the end of the tank
cover. The unit should be mounted either on the side of the
air conditioner unit or nearby wall. Pump must be level and
the inlet must be below the coil drain. Conduit fittings are not
compatible with the plastic pump housing.
4. The pump should not be installed in a manner that will subject
it to splashing or spraying.
