replacement parts section, then caution should be exercised when
ordering replacement parts. Always give the catalog number of your unit
when ordering replacement parts.
The Little Giant product you have purchased is of the highest quality
workmanship and material, and has been engineered to give you long
and reliable service. Little Giant products are carefully packaged,

SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain that the unit 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. 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. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230V models,
be sure that the lead wires are connected to a power source correctly. The
(green/yellow) wire is the ground. The (blue or white) and the (brown or
black) are live.
