DESCRIPTION
Little Giant submersible effluent pumps are recommended for
use in basins or lift stations and are suitable for pumping sew-
age, effluent, wastewater and other non-explosive, non-corrosive
liquids with up to 3/4” spherical solids.
Automatic operation can be achieved with the use of the Remote
Float Switch (RFS). Other accessories such as basins, check
valves, and covers are also available.

Cooling:
The motor housing contains oil to cool the
motor and to lubricate bearings and seals.
These pumps are capable of operating with the
motor housing partially exposed for extended
periods of time, providing sufficient motor cool-
ing and bearing lubrication. However, for the
best cooling and longest motor life, the liquid
level being pumped should normally be
above the top of the cast iron motor housing.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Your 115V pump is equipped 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.
