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
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.
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.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY
AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR PUMP.
OPERATION
1. The pump must be operated submerged.
2. The pump can be placed in any position.
3. The volute on these pumps can be rotated 90° to allow for different pump
orientations. To rotate the volute, remove the three volute screws (item 2).
Remove and rotate the volute and gasket and reinstall the three screws in the
additional holes in the front of the pump housing. NOTE: USING EXCESSIVE
TORQUE ON THE VOLUTE SCREWS COULD CAUSE THE HOLES TO STRIP.

4. The weight of the pumps must be supported adequately. DO NOT support
the pumps by the discharge connection alone. Pumps may be supported
by using the two mounting holes in the back of the pump. The holes are
designed for #8 self-tapping screws. Hole depth is .37" – DO NOT exceed
the hole depth.
5. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the
intake may cause damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If you
require reduced flow rates, then place a valve on the discharge side of the
pump or if flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to
restrict the flow.
6. Do not let the unit operate dry. It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid.
You may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to
run dry.
7. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning
instructions outlined in the next section. Do not let the unit freeze in the
wintertime. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
8. If fused type plug is used on 230 volt units, a 1.0 amp fuse is
recommended.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
COMPONENT!
1. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. The power cord on
these units cannot be replaced. In case of damage the whole unit must be
replaced.
2. First remove the intake screen from the pump. Screen is snapped on and
can be removed by pulling. Then remove the three screws which attach the
volute.
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a
brush and penetrating oil and lightly scrape to remove encrusted material.
4. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump down so the
pump and impeller are not touching anything. Plug the unit into GFCI circuit
for 10 seconds to see if the impeller turns: a) If it is rotating and GFCI did not
trip, unplug unit and install parts in reverse order in which they were removed.
b) If it does not rotate, if pump is tripping circuit breakers, or not operating
properly after cleaning, return to Little Giant or its authorized service center.
DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
5. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
