Little Giant 6 Series Owner's Manual page 3

High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before
working on or around the system. More than one discon-
nect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment
before servicing.
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the
third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the
pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard. Do
not use an extension cord.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit
equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, beverages,
acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that pro-
motes corrosion as this can result in damage to the pump.
• Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to prolong
the motor life, the liquid level being pumped should nor-
mally be above the top of the pump housing.
• This pump is not suitable for pond applications.

Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or lack-
ing in experience and expertise, unless supervised or
instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may
they play with the unit or in the immediate vicinity.
• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the
pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power
before servicing the pump or switch. Lockout-Tagout
before servicing equipment.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to
flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• In applications 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, an automatic back-up system and/or an
alarm should be installed.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface tempera-
ture of the pump will rise to a high temperature that could
cause skin burns if touched, and will cause serious dam-
age to the pump.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with
1
pump component materials. If the pump is used with liq-
uids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid
can cause failure to the electrical insulation system result-
ing in electrical shock.
• Do not oil the motor. The pump's motor housing is sealed,
and contains a high-grade dielectric oil for heat transfer
and lifetime lubrication. Use of other oils could cause seri-
ous electric shock and/or permanent damage to the
pump.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation
and operation instructions provided in this manual for use
with this product. Read entire manual before starting
installation and operation. End User should receive and
retain manual for future use.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• Keep work area clean, well-lit, and uncluttered.
• Wear safety glasses while installing or performing mainte-
nance on the pump.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that may
be caught in the rotating parts. Tie up long hair and
remove jewelry.
