This instruction sheet will provide you with information required to safely own
and operate your Little Giant WRSC-6 kit. This unit is designed to pump
wastewater from laundry trays, washing machines, sinks, or dehumidifiers. It is
not designed to pump raw sewage, fluids other than water, or fluids with solids.
The inlet screen will remove many solids over 1/8" diameter, but large amounts
of solids can clog screen and result in pump failure. Maximum fluid temperature
is 125° F. Unit is designed to fit under most sinks so in many cases it is not
necessary to recess the unit into the floor.
This instruction sheet covers the standard models in this pump series. This form
is applicable to other models in this series not listed by catalog number in the
replacement parts list section of this pamphlet. If the catalog number of your
pump is not listed in the replacement parts section, then exercise caution when
ordering replacement parts. Always give the catalog number of your pump
when ordering replacement parts.
The Little Giant unit you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship
and material. It has been engineered to give you long and reliable service.
Little Giant pumps are carefully packaged, inspected, and tested to ensure safe
operation and delivery. When you receive your pump, examine it carefully to
determine that there are no broken or damaged parts that may have occurred
during shipment. If damage has occurred, make notation and notify the firm
where you purchased the pump. They will assist you in replacement or repair,
if required.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL,
OPERATE OR SERVICE THE LITTLE GIANT PUMP. KNOW THE PUMP
APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT
YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY INFORMATION.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE! RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source before
attempting to service or remove any component!
2. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous
locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. Pump should be used with
liquids compatible with pump component materials.
3. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface or in water.
4. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump
is operating or connected to power source.
5. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is
connected to a properly grounded grounding type receptacle.
6. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment, pools, etc.
7. 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.
8. Support pump and piping during assembly and when installed. Failure to do
so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.

9. The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of excessively high or low voltage, inadequate
wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.
10. If pump is an oil-filled pump, the motor housing is filled with a dielectric
lubricant at the factory for optimum motor heat transfer and lifetime
lubrication of the bearings. Use of any other lubricant could cause damage
and void the warranty. This lubricant is non-toxic; however, if it escapes the
motor housing, it should be removed from the surface quickly by placing
newspapers or other absorbent material on the water surface to soak it up,
so aquatic life is undisturbed.
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to
voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong is to ground
the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the
third prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit is recommended. Do not
use an extension cord. Do not cut plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the
cord is shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230 V models, be
sure that the lead wires are connected to a power source correctly. The (green/
yellow) wire is the ground. The (blue or white) and the (brown or black) are live.

ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP.
4. Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation
must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent
National Electrical Code (NEC).
5. Plug into a grounded receptacle with vent tube pointed down. Vent tube
must remain unobstructed for proper pump operation.
6. If installed in basement, plug connection should be four feet or more above floor,
especially if basement floods. Be sure electrical connections cannot be reached by
rising water. Under no circumstances should outlet box or receptacle be located
where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
1. Determine proper location for unit. Unit should be located so that inlet is gravity-fed.
Unit will not draw water up from a lower level. Position and level basin. Keep basin
away from any item that could puncture basin. Position selected should be
convenient to inlet, discharge and vent piping and electrical supply.
2. Plumb inlet. Using proper adapter, plumb discharge to basin cover fitting. Use a
P-trap and a union next to the basin. Use pipe joint compound and hand tighten
only on plastic fittings. A 1-1/2" MNPT x 2" slip pipe adapter is provided if a 2" inlet
is required. See "Typical Installation."
3. Plumb discharge. Using proper adapter, plumb discharge to basin cover fitting. Use
a swing check valve as close as possible to top of basin cover and union. Be sure
check valve is installed in proper flow direction. If check valve is installed backwards,
no water will flow out of unit. Be sure discharge piping is sealed with pipe joint
compound and that lift height of pump is not exceeded. Hand tighten only on plastic
fitting. A 1-1/2" MNPT x 2" slip pipe adapter is provided if a 2" discharge is required.
4. Plumb vent. Plumb vent using 2" threaded pipe to fitting in basin cover. Use pipe
joint compound on threads and hand tighten only on plastic fittings. The basin must
be vented in accordance with state and local codes. A 2" MNPT x 1-1/2" Slip pipe
adapter is provided if a 1-1/2" vent is required.
THIS UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE WITHOUT PROPER VENTING. CAUTION: Do not
use a mechanical vent with this product. A mechanical vent will cause improper
operation of the automatic switch.
5. Test Unit. Connect power cord to electrical supply as stated in ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS. Secure power cord to piping with ties or tape. Fill unit with
water through inlet. Pump should turn on with 4" to 7" (10.2 - 17.8 cm) of
water in tank, and turn off when 1½" to 3½" (3 - 8 cm) of water is left in tank.
