SAFETY GUIDELINES
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, be certain that
it is connected to a properly grounded, grounding type
receptacle.
Your 115V effluent 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.
When a pump is in a basin, etc. do not touch motor, pipes or water
until unit is unplugged or shut off. If your installation has water or
moisture present, do not touch wet area until all power has been
turned off. If 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.
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. 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.
1. 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.
2. During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Also,
during rain storms, water may be present in the surrounding
area of the pump. Caution must be used to prevent bodily
injury when working near the pump:
a. The plug must be removed from the receptacle prior to
touching, servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, extreme
care should be used when changing fuses. Do not stand
in water while changing fuses or insert your fingers into the
fuse socket.
3. Do not run the pump in a dry basin. If the pump is run in a dry
basin, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high
level. This high level could cause skin burns if the pump is
touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
4. 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.
5. Do not install in locations classified as hazardous in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
6. 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,
a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
INSTALLATION
For automatic operation, pump must be plugged or wired into
a mercury 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. Care should be taken to prevent pump running
in a dry sump.
Pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin which is at
least 18” in diameter and 30” deep, and vented in accordance with
local plumbing codes.
Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump
directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
