ATTENTION: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING
OR SERVICING YOUR LITTLE GIANT SUBMERSIBLE PUMP. KEEP THIS
INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR FUTURE USE!
CAUTION: Improper use of any power equipment can result in prop-
erty damage, and/or injury. Protect yourself and others by using com-
mon sense and by observing the safety information in this publication
INSTALLATION (FIg. 1)
1. Thread power cord of pump through conduit (extending from under
the wash basin) and attach the conduit to the conduit fitting at
cord outlet. Rigid metal conduit stand pipe must be attached to the
conduit fitting in order to protect the electrical cord. Be sure that the
discharge of the pump is in line with the flexible tubing (extending
from under the wash basin). WARNING: Power cord supplied with
this pump should not be in contact with the solvent. The solvent can
dissolve the cord insulation causing an electrical short which can
lead to possible injury.
2. Attach the flexible tubing to the ¼" NPT discharge; tighten the
threaded coupling securely.
3. This pump is equipped with a three-wire power cord with a grounding
wire for your protection against shock hazard andshould be connected
to a three-pronged plug or wired directly to anon/off power switch
(whichever is used on the parts washer). Consult nameplate data for
proper voltage and frequency. Please note, the black and white or
blue and brown wires are live and the green or green/yellow wire is
the ground wire.
4. Place pump/wash basin properly on holding tank; be sure that
the pump is submerged in the cleaning solvent. See parts washer
instruction for proper level of cleaning solvent. These pumps were
tested while operating dry and within an enclosure. The resulting
temperature rise may require a low liquid level cut-off to be present in
this end use application.

DESCRIPTION

This pump is intended for indoor use pumping combustible liquids
typically used in UL listed parts cleaners. For use only in products where
the acceptability of the combination is determined by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.
Little Giant 1-EAYS epoxy encapsulated, centrifugal pump is designed to
be used for submerged parts washer application only. The 1-EAYS can
handle unheated liquids up to 100° F. that are compatible with the pump
material, such as UL Classified Metal Parts Cleaning Solvents with 100° F.
flash point or greater.
Caution: The low flash point of these solutions presents a potential fire
hazard; the entire pump must be fully submerged while operating. For
solvent handling precautions, consult the safety data sheet (Form OSHA-
20, or equivalent) for the particular cleaning solution. The motor is epoxy
encapsulated with a polyester case.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR
REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This unit is self-lubricating. Oiling is not required.
2. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE and EFFICIENCY
of the pump. Refer to Fig. 2 for the assembly and disassembly of the
pumping head.
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a
brush and penetrating oil and lightly scrape. Note: Do not allow sediment
(from parts being washed) to build up to more than 2" below the pump.
4. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it is free. Plug the unit in for a few
seconds to see if the impeller will turn. If it does, replace the front, and the
unit should operate as good as new.

TROUBLESHOOTINg

1. Should the unit fail to operate, check the following:
a. Power supply connections.
b. Is the pump below liquid level?
c. Is air trapped in the pump head?
d. Is there sediment build-up over pump inlet?
2. An air lock or bubble will prevent the unit from pumping. Trapped air
can usually be removed by:
a. Turning the pump off and restarting.
b. Ensuring that the discharge line is sloping upward to
prevent formation or air pockets
3. If for any reason these operations do not restore the unit to full
service, call your dealer or service man.
4. Do not, in any case, open the sealed portion of the unit.
