REPLACEMENT PARTS

 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.
