Introduction
This instruction sheet provides you with information required to safely own and operate your Little Giant pump. It
primarily covers the standard models of each pump series. The form is applicable to other models in the series not listed by

DESCRIPTION
Your Little Giant pump is designed for general, commercial and industrial applications. It is designed for water, but is not
submersible. It can be used to transfer liquids, and to empty or fill tanks, sinks or bowls. The pump can be used to pump
bilge water, but the pump must not be located in the bilge area. It is self-priming to 7 ft. if the impeller is initially wet
(primed). A carrying handle is included.
NOTE: Unit is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with soap detergents, gasoline, waste oil, fuel oil, flammable, explosive or
combustible liquids or other fluids not compatible with pump component materials. Do not use unit in enclosed areas.
Intermittent duty only (15 minutes per hour).
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in
flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
materials. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
1.
Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
2.
WARNING: Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or
in water.
3.
The pump is not submersible and is intended for open-air use only.
4.
Disconnect power before servicing a motor or its load. If the power disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
5.
Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.
6.
Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.
7.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly.
Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of operating the pump at low heads (low
discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, pumping too hot a liquid, incorrect
motor connections, or a defective motor or pump. Read troubleshooting chart.
8.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at high temperatures.
9.
Provide adequate protection and guarding around moving parts. Secure the discharge line before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
10. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required (see SERVICE
INSTRUCTIONS).
12. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
13.
PERSONAL SAFETY: Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps. 14. Do not add acid or electrolyte
to a battery being used – add only water.
14.
Consult the battery manufacturer for any additional safety instructions.
