TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR LITTLE GIANT
PRODUCT. KNOW THE PRODUCT'S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS,
AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
DESCRIPTION
The pump you have purchased is a submersible effluent pump for use in
basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping effluent, wastewater, and
other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2" spherical solids.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Make certain pump is disconnected from power source before attempting
to service or remove any component.
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/NFPAT. Pump should be used with
liquids compatible with pump component materials.
Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface or in water.
Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump
is operating or connected to power source.
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.
The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment,
pools, etc.
In any installation 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.
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.
This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor heat
transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to
aquatic life. However, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water surface.
If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed from the surface quickly
by placing newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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. 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).
4. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be wired
with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250', 14 AWG wire is sufficient.
For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the factory.
5. Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other
outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker
should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
6. The flexible PVC 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 and mounted
outside of the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.

AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP .
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight basin which is at least
18" in diameter and 24" deep, and vented in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
2. Pump features a 1-1/2" female NPT discharge.
3. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump
directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
