1. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, pull plug before servicing this pump.
2. Read all instructions and Safety Guidelines thoroughly. Failure to follow the guidelines and instructions could result in
serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
3. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
4. This pump must be properly grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
5. During operation the area surrounding the pump may be covered with water. Use caution when handling the pump. Do not
disconnect the plumbing connections when pump is in operation.
6. Do not stand in water when changing fuses.
The patented Little Giant magnetic drive pump design consists of a cylindrical drive magnet attached to the motor shaft which
rotates around a chemical resistant plastic separator housing. Inside this housing is a magnet completely encapsulated in
chemical resistant plastic, and fixed to the impeller. The impeller assembly is free to rotate on a spindle that is supported at
both ends. The spindle is held captive and does not turn. Front and rear thrust washers are utilized as wear bearings. The
washers are held captive and do not revolve. This prevents wear on the shaft. One side of each washer has a polished surface
and interfaces with the spinning impeller. The other surface is not polished and is identified by a black dot or indentation
mark. With the magnetic coupling the motor drives the impeller. This coupling eliminates the conventional shaft seal and its
possibility of leakage.
These models utilize a carbon bushing between the impeller and spindle. The use of this carbon bushing will allow these
pumps to run dry (without fluid) for up to 8 hours with no apparent detrimental harm to pump.
1 1
All wetted parts can be serviced by removing the 6 bolts that hold the volute to the housing. The pump head components can
1 1
easily be replaced in the field if necessary. Motors are single phase, totally enclosed, fan cooled, split phase.
2 2
The plastic parts on the HC series pumps are glass filled PPS. The plastic parts on SC series pumps are made of glass-filled
polypropylene. The spindle shaft, which is stationary, and the captive thrust washers (front and rear) are alumina ceramic. If
one side of thrust washer has a small black dot or indentation mark, the reverse side is polished. The polished side interfaces
1 1
with the spinning impeller. The O-ring seal is Fluoroelastomer (FKM). Utilizes a pure carbon bushing in the impeller to enable
1 1
the pump to run dry for periods up to eight hours.

Your Little Giant pump is delivered to you completely pre-assembled and pretested from the factory. It is ready for immediate use.
1 1
The pump may be installed in any position. It may be mounted vertically with the pump head down. Proper plumbing connections
6 6
should be made. See specification table to determine what size intake and discharge your pump has. Use a thread sealer on
4 4
all pipe connections and hand tighten only. Note: A roll of PTFE pipe seal tape is supplied. Do not use a wrench to tighten the
6 6
connections. Excessive force may damage the plastic part. Make sure the wing nuts are tight before operating the pump.
4 4
Check local electrical, building codes and plumbing codes before installing. Installation must be in accordance with all local and
state or provincial regulations, as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC). The motor nameplate lists the electrical
data and the pump should be wired per the diagram shown on the motor nameplate or under the wiring compartment cover.
Three phase units do not have a thermal protective device integral with the motor that will protect the motor from overheating due
1
to overcurrent or failure-to-start conditions. A separate overcurrent protection device is required for overload conditions and/or
1
short-circuit/ground fault conditions.
1 1
Three phase units must be wired into a separate control panel for operation. Refer to the instructions supplied with the control
panel for installation and additional safety procedures. If control panel instructions are not available, contact the control panel
manufacturer or supplier. (See Table 1.) These pumps are not submersible. Operate the pumps only in the in-line mode. Do not
put the units in liquid. Pump should be installed in a dry area and protected from splash. These pumps are not self -priming.
IMPORTANT: These pumps must be installed so that the pump head (volute) is flooded before starting. That is, the inlet of the
pump must be below the level of the surface of the liquid being pumped. (See Figure 1.)
Do not restrict the intake side of the pump. Connections on the intake side should not be of smaller inside diameter pipe or
tubing or hose than the intake inside diameter of the intake thread designation. If reduced flow is required restrict the discharge
side. Installing a valve or other type of restriction device on the discharge side is the proper method for reducing flow from the
pump. When using a valve the pump can be throttled to provide various flow rates and pressures without harming the motor or
the pump parts.
cautiOn: for connection to discharge and intake on all PPs pumps, use Ptfe tape and hand tighten only. Wrench will
crack volute.
