Highly flammable fluids such as gasoline, some chlorinated solvents,

alcohols, acetones, or toluol should not be used and will void this

warranty if used. These fluids are dangerous and can cause explosions

and fire.

For fluids other than those mentioned, please contact your representative

or Little Giant Pump Company.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National

Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act

(OSHA).

2. This pump is for use with 110V AC to 120V AC, and is equipped

with an approved 3-conductor cord for your protection against

shock hazards.

It should be wired with a 3-wire system, the brown lead being the

live, blue neutral, and the green/yellow wire being the ground. This

pump should be grounded while in use to protect the operator

from electric shock. The pump must be securely and adequately

electrically grounded. This can be accomplished by attaching

green/yellow conductor to a grounded metal race-way system, a

properly grounded water pipe or other suitable means. To ensure a

proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified

electrician.

This pump is not recommended for use with flammable liquids with

low flash points such as gasoline (see warranty).

4. Do not run the pump without liquid in the pumping head; doing so

will damage the seal and shorten the life of the pump.

5. Plug unit into 115V 60Hz grounded outlet only!

6. It is anticipated the fluid handled in the end-product application

will be limited to UL Classified Metal Parts Cleaning Solvents

PJQU found in UL’s Gas and Oil Equipment Directory. These

products are basically refined petroleum distillates for use with

equipment intended to clean metal parts essentially at room

temperature. They are free from tendency to heat

spontaneously and have a flash point (closed cup) not lower

than 100°F.

7. When working around solvents, caution must be used. Fire and

toxicity are the greatest hazards encountered when using

solvents. All solvents should be stored in metal containers and

must be used in metal containers. Adequate ventilation should be

provided to prevent accumulation of vapors or fumes. No solvents

should be used close to open flame or heaters with open coils.

Operators should exercise caution when exposing skin to

solvents. Protective gloves could be used to prevent extraction of

natural oils from the skin, which would caused cracking of the skin

and dermatitis. For solvent handling precautions, consult the

safety data sheet (Form OSHA—20, or equivalent) for the

particular cleaning solution.

8. Always disconnect power source before working on the pump.

If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock in the open

position and tag to prevent unexpected application of power.

9. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite

accidents.

10. Wiping or cleaning rags and other combustible waste materials

must be placed in a tightly closed metal container and disposed of

later in the proper fashion.

11. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

12. Make workshop tamper-proof with padlocks, master switches, or

by removing starter keys.

13. Use safety glasses. Also, use face mask or face protection to

keep liquids from splashing on your skin or eyes. Caution:

Some solvents can cause burns which can result in blindness.

An eye wash solution should be nearby and properly

maintained.
