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.
Ensure that unit is disconnected from 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.
Inanyinstallationwherepropertydamageand/orpersonalinjurymightresultfromaninoperativeorleakingpump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, use a backup system(s) and/or alarm.
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 recom-
mended. 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.
SEE INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR PUMP.
OPERATION
1.
The #2E-N model pump must be run submerged. The pump should be placed in an upright position. The volute
must always be in a flooded condition; that is, always under the liquid level.
