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 THE NEC, ANSI/
NFPA70. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. DO NOT
HANDLE A PUMP OR PUMP MOTOR WITH WET HANDS OR WHEN
STANDING ON A WET OR DAMP SURFACE, OR IN WATER. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN FATAL ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. PUMP SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH LIQUIDS COMPATIBLE
WITH PUMP COMPONENT MATERIALS.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK The 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.
• Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
• Do not pick up the pump by the power cord.
• This equipment should be installed by technically qualified personnel.
Comply with national and local electrical and plumbing codes as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA) when installing this unit. Failure to install it
in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes
and within Franklin Electric recommendations may result in electrical
shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Installation information is available through pump manufacturers and
distributors, or directly from Franklin Electric at our toll-free number
1-800-701-7894.
• To reduce risk of electric shock which can result in personal injury,
death or major property damage if ignored, be certain that this pump is
connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) device. Comply with all national and local electrical and
plumbing codes when installing this unit. Do not use extension cord.
• Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source
before attempting to service or remove any component. If the power
disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of power.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL,
OPERATE, OR SERVICE OUR LITTLE GIANT PRODUCT. KNOW THE
PRODUCT’S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Shut off electrical power at fuse box before
making any connections. If the electrical power
disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of power.
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-pronge 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. If the plug is cut-
off or the cord is shortened, this action will void the warranty.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This motor is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required.
2. Periodically remove the bottom plate which is pressed onto the
pump base. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog
the impeller or pump cavity. Make sure the O-ring is positioned in
bottom plate before re-installing.
3. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump
down so you are not touching pump and impeller is not touching
anything. Plug the unit into GFCI circuit for 10 seconds to see if the
impeller turns; a) If it is rotating and GFCI did not trip, un-plug unit
and install parts in reverse order in which they were removed. b) If it
does not rotate, if pump is tripping circuit breakers, or not operating
properly after cleaning, the pump should be replaced with a new
unit. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
4. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
1. This is NOT a submersible pump. DO NOT allow water or water
spray to enter the motor housing. Water level should not exceed 3”.
2. Pump should be positioned as far from cooler pads or water source
as possible to prevent water damage to the pump motor.
3. Ensure that the pump is sized to match the CFM air flow of the
cooler, per below chart.
MODEL
CFM
CP1
5,000-7,500
CP2
7,500-15,000
CP3
15,000-21,000
4. The cooler pump is designed for use with many existing evaporative
cooling units. If the evaporative cooler’s mounting bracket does not
fit this pump, a piece of metal strap can be attached by removing a
single screw located on the top cover. The pump must be attached
by some means to prevent the pump from falling over and allowing
water to enter the motor housing. Observe method of mounting and
install replacement in same manner as original pump.
5. An additional screen or strainer around the pump base will help prevent
particles or debris from clogging the impeller or discharge line.
6. Route the power supply cord of the pump in same manner as was
done in the original installation.
• Keep work area clean, well-lit, and uncluttered.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• Wear safety glasses while installing or performing maintenance on pump.
• Make sure all ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF before connecting any
electrical wires. Wire pump system for correct voltages. Follow all
pump wiring instructions provided in the “Electrical Connections”
section of this manual.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experience
and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not
use the equipment, nor may they play with the equipment or in the
immediate vicinity.
• In any installations 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) (e.g. auxiliary switch) and/or alarm should be used.
• Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly check
hoses for weakness or wear, making certain that all connections are
secure. Schedule and perform routine maintenance as required and
in accordance with the Service Instruction section.
