SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically qualified personnel who are familiar
with the correct selection and use of appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure to comply
with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within Little Giant recommendations may
result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Know the product’s application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read and follow instructions care-
fully to avoid injury and property damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described in this
manual.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all applicable codes may result in the follow-
ing hazards:
Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage due to explosion,
fire, or electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
• When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is unplugged or electrically disconnected.
• If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• Wire pump system for correct voltage.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by
code.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected.
• These pumps are designed to be used with an earth-grounding conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the
earth lead to a properly-grounded circuit in accordance with electrical code.
• Some pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or other approved enclosure.
The pumps include a grounding connector. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is properly connected to ground.
• All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well
as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA).
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• The pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. If the pump is used with liquids incom-
patible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
• This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, install with all electrical components above the top grade level of the pump.
