SAFETY GUIDELINES

WARNING

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES AND

THE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY

INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect it only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

If this pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong grounds 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.

When the pump is in a basin, sump, lift station, etc., do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the pump is unplugged or shut off.

If your installation has water or moisture present, do not touch the wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box is not accessible, call the electric company to shut off service to the

house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.

Do not modify the power cord except to shorten it to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of the basin, and comply with the National Electrical Code. Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.

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, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.

Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.

During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Also, during rain storms, water may be present in the surrounding area of the pump. Use caution to prevent bodily injury when working near the pump:

Remove the plug from the receptacle before touching, servicing, or repairing the pump.

To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, use extreme care when changing fuses. Do not stand in water while changing fuses or insert your fingers into the fuse socket.

Do not operate the pump in a dry basin. This will cause the pump to become extremely hot, causing burns if touched and/or damage to the pump.

Do not oil the motor. The pump housing is sealed. A high grade dielectric oil devoid of water has been put into the motor housing at the factory. Use of other oil could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.

Do not install the pump in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, use a backup system(s) and/or alarm.

POWER CORD: 16 AWG, 3-conductor, copper stranded; 18 AWG

(208-240V models)

COOLING: The motor housing contains oil to cool the motor and to lubricate the bearings and seals. For the best cooling and longest motor life, however, the level of the liquid being pumped should be above the top of the motor housing.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

For automatic operation, plug or wire the pump into a float switch or liquid level controller. Installation instructions are included with all Little Giant switches and controllers and should be referred to for installation.

The pump will run continuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet. Take care to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump.

Install the pump in a suitable, gas-tight basin that is at least 18” in diameter and 30” deep, and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.

Place the pump on a hard, level surface. Never place the pump directly onto clay, earth, or gravel surfaces.

The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the pump.

To facilitate pump removal (if necessary), install a union just above the cover.

Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent backflow of liquid into the basin. This should be a free-flow valve that will easily pass solids.

CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when handling solids install the valve horizontally or at an angle of no more than

45°. Do not install the valve vertically, as solids may settle in the valve and prevent opening on start-up.

A gate valve should follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump.

The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with a minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss.

Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 2”.

Sewage and effluent applications require a separate sump vent. A connection is provided on top of the sump or cover.

This connection must be piped to the existing building vent or extended outside with its own standpipe.

WIRING

WARNING

Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).

To conform to the National Electrical Code, all pumps must be wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250 feet, 14 AWG wire is sufficient. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the factory.

Connect or wire the pump to its own circuit, with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit. See Table 1.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

WARNING

WARNING: Before working on the pump or switch, unplug the pump power cord, in addition to removing the fuse or shutting off the circuit breaker.

If the pump does not operate properly, consult the Troubleshooting table. If the trouble still cannot be found, consult your pump dealer or take the pump to a Little Giant authorized service center.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the socket head cap screws (item

#3, Figure 3). The motor section of your pump is permanently lubricated with dielectric oil and is sealed at the factory. Removal of these screws by anyone other than an authorized Little Giant service center will break the seal and void the warranty.

1. Remove the 4 screws (item #18, Figure 3) that hold the volute to the motor housing, then separate the volute from the housing

2. Clean the impeller and volute passage.

3. Be sure impeller turns freely.

4. Attach the volute to the housing and secure it with the 4 screws.
