INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1. Do not plug in the pump until all plumbing connections are complete and pump is secure.
2. Connect a garden hose using the 3/4" garden hose adapter or connect 1" MNPT threaded pipe or
hose directly to the 1" FNPT discharge port.
• If using the 3/4" garden hose adapter, performance will be reduced approximately 15%.
• If flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict the flow.
3. Place the pump vertically on a solid surface in the water to be removed.
• The water should be at least 3/4" deep.
• The pump should be totally submerged for proper cooling when operated for extended periods.
• Never place the pump directly on clay, earth, or gravel surfaces to prevent damage and pump
failure. Place the pump on a flat surface such as a piece of wood or metal to prevent it from
being clogged.
4. Position the free end of the hose or pipe where the water is to be relocated.
5. For water containing high mineral content (hard water) or metals, use a pump with an attached sac
-
rificial anode to prevent "galvanic corrosion”.
• Contact your local distributor for the model SA-1 by Little Giant.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experi
-
ence and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in
the immediate vicinity.
•
Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing the
pump or switch.
•
An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
•
In applications 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, an automatic back-up system and/or an alarm should be installed.
•
Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause skin
burns if touched, and will cause serious damage to the pump.
•
Do not oil the motor. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. The pump’s motor housing is sealed. Do not open
the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws. Opening the motor housing could cause serious electric shock and/or
permanent damage to the pump.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical
insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
•
If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install control in
compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer’s recommendations may result in
electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion as
this can result in damage to the pump.
•
Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to prolong the motor life, the liquid level being pumped should normally be above
the top of the pump housing.
•
This pump is not suitable for pond applications.
•
Warranty is void if the motor housing cover or power cord have been removed.
