Electrical Connections

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or
pressurized fluids.
• To minimize risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• In a 200-208 and 230 VAC direct wire installation, one side of the line going to the pump is always
electrically energized, regardless of whether the liquid level control switch is open or closed. To
avoid hazards when installing or servicing, install a double-pole disconnect near the pump installa-
tion.
• The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the
exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the
control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the basin and comply with the
National Electrical Code. Employ a licensed electrician.
• Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
• Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by code.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other electric receptacles or equip-
ment in the circuit.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit. For amperage ratings,
refer to "Specifications" on page
• If a junction box is used, removal of plug is required. Little Giant assumes no responsibility for improper
wiring of the pump/float switch in the junction box.
• Refer to alarm system's manual for installation and electrical connections.

Automatic Pump Models

Models with a float switch include two power cords with a piggyback plug on the switch
cord. For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the switch cord. Plug the switch
cord (with pump cord attached) into a GFCI outlet.

Manual Pump Models

Manual pumps are plugged into a dedicated GFCI receptacle and are controlled by either
by switching the power or by unplugging the cord.
Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a
large volume of water is to be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored
during manual operation and disconnected from power before the pump runs dry.
Manual pumps can be converted to automatic mode by installing a separate liquid level control. Install
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
