INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet provides you with the information required

to safely own and operate your Little Giant pump. Retain these

instructions for future reference.

The Little Giant pump you have purchased is of the highest quality

workmanship and material, and has been engineered to give you

long and reliable service. Little Giant pumps are carefully tested,

inspected, and packaged to ensure safe delivery and operation.

Please examine your pump 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

LITTLE GIANT PUMP. KNOW THE PUMP’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

During installation, follow all local electrical and safety codes, as

well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational

Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-

type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure

that it is connected to a properly-grounded, grounding-type

receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.

For maximum safety, this pump should be connected to a three-

prong grounded outlet equipped with a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) device.

Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as

gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Pump should only be used with

liquids compatible with pump component materials. Do not use

in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by

the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. Failure to follow this warning can result

in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when

standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water. Failure to follow

this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.

Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source

before attempting to service or remove any component. If the

power disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and

tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.

Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly

check hoses for weakness or wear, making certain that all

connections are secure. Perform routine maintenance as required

and in accordance with the Service Instructions section.

In any installations 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.

DESCRIPTION

This Little Giant condensate pump automatically removes water

that drips from an air conditioner evaporative coil. The pump is

controlled by a float/switch mechanism, which turns on the pump

when approximately 1" of water collects in its tank, and turns off the

pump when the water in the tank drains to approximately 1/2".

INSTALLATION

1. Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to cycle several

times, collecting condensate in a separate container to help

flush any residual oils that may remain in the system.

2. Carefully unpack the pump. Remove the cardboard packing

from the motor cover air slots. Carefully slide the packing

away from the pump. This packing is used to prevent switch

movement during shipment.

3. Mounting the pump: The tank has two slots provided to mount

the unit (Figure 1). The slots are located on the end of the tank

cover. The unit should be mounted either on the side of the

air conditioner unit or nearby wall. Pump must be level and

the inlet must be below the coil drain. Conduit fittings are not

compatible with the plastic pump housing.

4. The pump should not be installed in a manner that will subject

it to splashing or spraying.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 1. Be sure the floats move freely. Clean as necessary. 2. Remove the volute and check for obstructions. Clean as necessary. 1. Shut off electrical power at fuse box before making any connections. All wiring must comply with local codes. 2. Line voltage: Connect power cord to line voltage specified on motor and nameplate. Power cord must be connected to a constant source of power (not a fan or other device that runs intermittently).

DIRECTIVES DE SECURITE 4. Si une prise avec fusible est utilisée sous une tension de 230 V, l’utilisation d’un fusible de 1 ampère est recommandée. NE PAS UTILISER POUR POMPER DES LIQUIDES EXPLOSIFS OU INFLAMMABLES (ESSENCE, HUILE, KÉROSÈNE, ETC.) NE PAS UTILISER DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT PROPICE AUX EXPLOSIONS. UTILISER AVEC DES LIQUIDES COMPATIBLES AVEC LES MATÉRIAUX DE LA POMPE. 1. Faire sortir un tube isolant souple ou un tuyau de l’évaporateur et le brancher dans l’arrivée de la pompe.

ES INTRODUCCIÓN Su bomba de condensación Little Giant está diseñada como una bomba de remoción de condensación automática para remover agua que gotea de las bobinas evaporantes de una unidad de aire acondicionado. La bomba está controlada por un mecanismo flotador/interruptor que activa la bomba aproximadamente cuando 1" de agua se junta en el tanque, y se apaga automáticamente cuando el nivel del agua baja a aproximadamente 1/2".

continuamente, sin impulsar el agua a la altura total de la tubería de descarga. En este caso, se recomienda que el adaptador de 1/4 de pulgada que se suministra, se utilice con una tubería de un diámetro interno de 1/4 de pulgada. NOTA: debe utilizarse un obturador de rosca, cuando se utilice el adaptador de 1/4 de pulgada. Esto reducirá el volumen de la tubería de descarga a un punto inferior al del volumen del ciclo de la bomba y producirá una altura de impulsión total.
