DESCRIPTION
This is a submersible effluent pump for use in basins or lift stations,
and is suitable for pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater, and other
non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2" spherical solids.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain pump 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 or hazardous locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/
NFPAT. Pump should be used with liquids compatible with pump
component materials.
3. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a
wet or damp surface or in water.
4. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the
pump is operating or connected to power source.
5. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or
grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded
grounding type receptacle.
6. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying
fountain equipment, pools, etc.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor
heat transfer and lifetime 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.

INSTALACION TIPICA­­(6EN-CIA-SFS SHOWN)
10. 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. 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 brown (or black) 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', 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
1
other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit
breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
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.
8. The 6EN-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggy-back
plugs on the switch cords. Pump must be plugged into piggy-back
switch cord for automatic operation.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER
ASSEMBLY AND DISSASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP.
OPERATION
MAKE CERTAIN THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR
REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. If pump does not operate properly, consult TROUBLESHOOTING
section. If trouble still cannot be located, consult your pump
dealer or take pump to a Little Giant authorized service center.
2. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not,
in any case, open the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing
screws.
3. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE
and EFFICIENCY of the pump. Refer to the assembly and
disassembly of the pumping head.
1. Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight basin which is at
least 18" in diameter and 24" deep, and vented in accordance
with local plumbing codes.
4. Remove screws that hold base to volute and clean impeller and
volute passage. Do not use strong solvents on impeller.
2. Pump features a 1-1/2" female NPT discharge.
6. WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE IMPELLER. REMOVAL OF
IMPELLER REQUIRES SPECIAL TOOLS AND IS TO BE DONE
ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
3. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump
directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
4. 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°. Do not install check valve in a vertical position, as solids may
settle in valve and prevent opening on start-up.
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 run dry (without liquid). 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.
TESTING PUMP OPERATION
CIA SERIES EFFLUENT PUMPS
1. These pumps are equipped with a float operated mechanical
switch.
2. 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 that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug can be
removed and switch operation can be observed.
3. Plug power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage
consistent with pump voltage as indicated on pump nameplate.
4. Run water into pump until pump starts.
5. Be sure gate valve in discharge line is open.
6. Allow pump to operate through several on off cycles.
CIM SERIES EFFLUENT PUMPS
1. The pump cord for these pumps can be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with pump
nameplate for continuous pump operation.
CAUTION: This type of operation should be used only for
emergency use or when a large volume of water is to be pumped.
Pump must not be allowed to run dry. If pump is run dry, it may
damage pump and void the warranty.

5. Be sure impeller turns freely after cleaning.
DO NOT REMOVE MOTOR HOUSING COVER. WARRANTY
IS VOID IF MOTOR HOUSING COVER, IMPELLER OR SEALS
HAVE BEEN REMOVED. ANY REPAIR ON MOTOR MUST BE
DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED LITTLE GIANT SERVICE CENTER.
7. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks
or cuts.
