and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable service. Little
Giant products are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe
delivery and operation. Please examine your item(s) carefully to ensure that no

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR 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!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING
Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source before
attempting to service or remove any component.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump should only be used
with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface
or in water.
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.
In any installation 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) and/or alarm should be used.
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so
may cause piping to break, pump to fall, motor bearing failures, etc.
If pump is an oil-filled pump, the motor housing is filled with a dielectric lubricant
at the factory for optimum motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the
bearings. Use of any other lubricant could cause damage and void the warranty.
This lubricant is non-toxic; however, if it escapes the motor housing, it should
be removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers or other absorbent
material on the water surface to soak it up, so aquatic life is undisturbed.
The National Electric Code (in the USA) and similar codes in other countries
require a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to be installed in the branch
circuit supplying fountain equipment rated above 15 volts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
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-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. Do not cut plug from the cord; this will void the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230v models, be sure
that the lead wires are connected to a power source correctly. The green/yellow
wire is the ground. The blue (or white) and the brown (or black) are live.

AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP.
OPERATION
WARNING
1. This pump must be operated in clean fresh water with the volute intake below
the liquid level.
2. This pump can be placed in any position.
3. The volute on this pump can be rotated 90° to allow for different pump orientations.
To rotate the volute, remove the three volute screws (item 2). Remove and rotate
the volute and gasket and reinstall the three screws in the additional holes in the
front of the pump housing. NOTE: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE TORQUE ON THE
VOLUTE SCREWS; THIS COULD CAUSE THE HOLES TO STRIP OUT.
4. The weight of the pump must be supported adequately. DO NOT support the
pump by the discharge connection alone. Pump may be supported by using
the two mounting holes in the back of the pump. The holes are designed for
#8 self-tapping screws. DO NOT exceed the hole depth of .37".
5. Do not restrict the intake side of the pump; this may cause damage to the

PE-1
Pump • Pompe • Bomba
seal and may starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates, place a
valve on the discharge side of the pump or, if flexible vinyl tubing is used, a
clamp on the tubing to restrict the flow.
6. 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.
7. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instructions
outlined in the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS section. Do not let the unit freeze in
the wintertime. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
8. If fused type plug is used on 230 volt units, a 1.0 amp fuse is recommended.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. The power cord on these
units cannot be replaced. In case of damage the whole unit must be replaced.
2. First remove the intake screen from the pump. Then remove the three screws as
indicated by the arrows. (DO NOT remove other screws that may be exposed.)
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a brush
and penetrating oil and lightly scrape to remove encrusted material.
4. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump down so the pump
and impeller are 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, unplug 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, return
the pump to an authorized service center. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
5. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.

WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
AVERTISSEMENT
Veiller à débrancher l’appareil de sa source d’alimentation électrique avant
l’entretien ou la dépose d’une ou de plusieurs piéces.
Ne pas pomper des fluides explosifs ou inflammables tels qu’essence, mazout,
kérosène, etc. Ne pas employer dans une atmosphère comportant des risques
de déflagration. La pompe ne doit servir qu’à pomper des liquides compatibles
avec les matériaux utilisés pour la fabrication des éléments qui la composent.
Ne pas manipuler la pompe les mains humides, les pieds posés sur une surface
mouillée ou humide, ou les pieds dans l’eau.
Cette pompe est équipée d’un conducteur de mise à la terre et ou d’une fiche de
branchement à prise de terre. Pour réduire les risques d’électrocution, s’assurer qu’elle est
bien raccordée à une prise de courant appropriée comportant une borne de mise à la terre.
Dans le cas de toute installation où des dommages matériels ou des blessures
pourraient survenir par suite de l’emploi d’une pompe qui ne fonctionnerait pas
ou qui fuirait à cause d’une panne de courant, d’une canalisation de refoulement
bouchée ou de toute autre raison, prévoir l’emploi de(s) dispositif(s) de secours
ou d’alarme voulu(s).
Veiller à bien étayer la pompe et la tuyauterie lors du montage et de la mise en place.
Sinon, non seulement les tuyaux risqueraient de se déchirer mais la pompe pourrait
également faire défaut et les roulements du moteur pourraient subir des dommages, etc.
Si la pompe est remplie d’huile. Ie carter est rempli d’huile diélectrique servant
de caloporteur pour la chaleur engendrée par le moteur et de lubrifiant pour
les paliers. L’emploi d’un autre lubrifiant quel qu’il soit pourrait endommager
l’appareil et annuler la garantie. Bien que cette huile ne soit pas toxique, en cas
de fuite, I’enlever rapidement à l’aide de journaux posés rapidement à la surface
de l’eau pour que la vie aquatique ne soit pas perturbée.
Le code national de l’électricité et autres codes semblables d’autres pays exigent
l’installation d’un interrupteur avec mise à la terre (GFI) sur le circuit d’alimentation
de la fontaine pour toute installation dont la tension est supérieure à 15 volts.
