This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to safely own
and operate your product. Retain these instructions for future reference.
The product you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship and
material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable service. This
product has been carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe
delivery and operation. Please examine your item(s) carefully to ensure that no
damage occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, please contact the
place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR 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!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain that the pump 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. Pump should only be
used with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
3. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface or in water.
4. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is
connected to a properly grounded grounding type receptacle.
5. 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.
6. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to
do so may cause piping to break, pump to fall, motor bearing failures, etc.
7. 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage
other than that shown.
2. Pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug. The third prong grounds
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. Cutting the plug or
shortening the cord will void the warranty.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY
AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR PUMP.
OPERATION
1. This pump must be run submerged. The pump should be placed with the
screen as a base. If the surface is sandy or muddy, provide a smooth surface
for the pump to be placed on.
2. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the
intake may cause damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If you require
reduced flow rates, then place a valve on the discharge side of the pump or if
flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict the
flow.

3. Do not let the pump operate dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled
by pumping fluid. You may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the
pump is allowed to run dry.
4. If the pump is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning
instructions outlined in the next section. Do not let the pump freeze in the
wintertime. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the
pump.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE PUMP IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY
COMPONENT!
1. This pump is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not, in any
case, open the sealed portion of the pump or remove housing screws. The
power cord on these pumps cannot be replaced. In case of damage the
whole pump must be replaced.
2. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the life and efficiency
of the pump. Refer to Figure 1 for the assembly and disassembly of the
pumping head.
3. First remove the intake screen from the pump. Then remove the three screws
as indicated by the arrows. (DO NOT remove other screws that may be
exposed.)
4. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a
brush and penetrating oil and lightly scrape to remove encrusted material.
5. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump down so
the pump and impeller are not touching anything. Plug the pump into GFCI
circuit for 10 seconds to see if the impeller turns; a) If it is rotating and GFCI
did not trip, unplug pump and install parts in reverse order in which they
were removed. b) If it does not rotate, if pump is tripping circuit breakers, or
not operating properly after cleaning, return to Little Giant or its authorized
service center. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
6. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.

DIRECTIVES DE SECURITE
1. Veiller à débrancher l’appareil de sa source d’alimentation électrique avant
l’entretien ou la dépose d’une ou de plusieurs piéces.
2. Ne pas pomper des fluides explosifs ou inflammables tels qu’essence,
mazout, kérosène, etc. Ne pas employer dans une atmosphère comportant
des risques de déflagration. La pompe ne doit servir qu’à pomper des
liquides compatibles avec les matériaux utilisés pour la fabrication des
éléments qui la composent.

surface mouillée ou humide, ou les pieds dans l’eau.
4. Cette pompe est équipée d’un conducteur de mise à la terre et ou d’une fiche
de branchement à prise de terre. Pour réduire les risques d’électrocution,
s’assurer qu’elle est bien raccordée à une prise de courant appropriée
comportant une borne de mise à la terre.
5. Dans le cas de toute installation où des dommages matériels ou des
blessures pourraient survenir par suite de l’emploi d’une pompe qui ne
fonctionnerait pas ou qui fuirait à cause d’une panne de courant, d’une
canalisation de refoulement bouchée ou de toute autre raison, prévoir
l’emploi de(s) dispositif(s) de secours ou d’alarme voulu(s).
