SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically qualified personnel who are familiar with
the correct selection and use of appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure to comply with
national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within Little Giant recommendations may result in
electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Know the product's application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read and follow instructions carefully to
avoid injury and property damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described in this manual.
Refer to product data plate(s) for additional precautions, operating instructions and specifications.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all applicable codes may result in the following
hazards:
Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage due to explosion,
fire, or electric shock.
• Do not use to pump flammable, combustible, or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70.
• Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
• When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is unplugged or electri-
cally disconnected.
• If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of
power.
• If the disconnect panel is not accessible, contact the electric company to stop service.
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one dis-
connect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• 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).
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of elec-
tric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove
the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent possible electric shock haz-
ard. Do not use an extension cord.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly con-
nected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
