READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE

YOUR PRODUCT. KNOW THE PRODUCT’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!

DESCRIPTION

This is a submersible effluent pump for use in basins or lift stations, and is suitable for pumping effluent, wastewater, and other nonexplosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2” spherical solids and temperatures up to 200°F.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

8. This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and life-time lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life, however, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing, it can be removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.

9. 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 excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.

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 other two are live.

4. 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).

5. 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.

6. Pump should be connected or wired 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.

CAUTION: INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL

USE ONLY. READ SAFETY GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTIONS

CAREFULLY.

1. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by NEC,

ANSI/NFPAT. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials.

2. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

3. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump is operating or connected to power source.

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. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment, pools, etc.

6. In any installations 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.

7. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed, failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.

7. The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the exception of shortening the cord 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.

OPERATION

1. Pump should be installed in a suitable basin which is at least 18” in diameter and 24” deep, in accordance with local plumbing codes.

2. When a pump is in a basin, etc. do not touch motor, pipes or water until unit is unplugged. If your installation has water or moisture present, do not touch wet area until all power has been turned off.

3. Pump features a 1-1/2“ female NPT discharge.

4. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.

5. A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.

CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when handling solids install in a horizontal position or at an angle of no more than 45 degrees. Do not install check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent opening on start-up.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

TESTING PUMP OPERATION

NOTE: BE CERTAIN PUMP IS SECURE IN BASIN AND FLOAT MOVES

UNOBSTRUCTED WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BASIN WALLS OR

PLUMBING.

1. These pumps are equipped with a float operated switch. When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch operation cannot be observed. The sump cover usually will have a spare hole that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug can be removed and switch operation can be observed.

2. Plug power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with pump voltage as indicated on pump nameplate.

3. Run water into basin until pump starts.

4. Be sure gate valve in discharge line is open.

5. Allow pump to operate through several on-off cycles.

6. If pump does not operate properly, consult the Troubleshooting table. If trouble cannot be located with these steps shown, consult your pump dealer or take pump to a Little Giant authorized service center.
