INSTALLATION
WARNING: In any installations where property damage and/or personal
injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power out-
ages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s)
should be used. In order to safely use this product, familiarize yourself
with this pump and also with the liquid (chemical, etc.) that is going to be
pumped through the unit. This pump is not suitable for many liquids.
1. Pump should be placed as close to source of liquid and power as possible, not
more than 7' above liquid source and not more than 25' from power source.
2. Use reinforced plastic or fabric tubing or metal pipe for the suction side of
the pump. This will prevent collapse of the suction piping. Discharge piping
should never be larger than suction piping!
3. Attach suction line piping to the suction inlet and discharge line piping to
the discharge outlet.
4. Avoid using looped sections of pipe that might permit air to become entrapped.
5. Piping should be checked for any leaks at the connections. Small leaks in
suction line greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent priming.
Pump should be permanently mounted; never operate a pump unless it is
secured to a solid foundation.
6. Do not operate pump dry. Impeller and mechanical seal damage will result.
7. Protect pump from extreme heat, cold. and humidity. This unit is not
waterproof and is not intended to be used in showers, saunas, or other
potentially wet locations.
8. The motor is designed to be used in a clean, dry location with access to
an adequate supply of cooling air. Ambient temperature around the motor
should not exceed 104°F (40°C). For outdoor installations, motor must be
protected by a cover that does not block airflow to and around the motor.
This unit is not weatherproof, nor is it able to be submersed in water or any
other liquid. Do not use in or near swimming pool or spa.
9. Install a foot valve and prime pump when suction lift is over 6' or when suc-
tion line is longer than 6'.
10. It is strongly recommended that this unit be plugged into a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter). Cons ult your local electrician for installation and
availability.
11. When used in a boat, pump should not be installed in the bilge.
WARNING: Disconnect battery when making adjustments and repairs.
First, remove the battery NEGATIVE (–) ground cable, then lastly the bat-
tery POSITIVE (+) cable.
OPERATION
1. Pumps are self-priming and should prime themselves within 30 seconds
after pump is started. Wetting impeller with pumped fluid and keeping the
impeller coated with petroleum jelly will lengthen its life and improve prim-
ing action. Running the impeller dry for as short as 30 seconds can ruin the
impeller. Keep suction line as short as possible.
NOTE: An easy way to prime the pump (wet impeller), if using a garden hose,
is to fill the discharge hose; elevate the discharge hose slightly to retain water
and start the pump. Another method would be to disconnect the discharge
hose from the pump, making a U-bend of the discharge hose. Fill the hose
then reconnect (without losing the water) to the pump. In both cases the water
behind the impeller will seal the pump and it will prime almost immediately.
2. Unit can be turned on and off by plugging & unplugging cord into 115V outlet.
3. Do not run at heads greater than 25' (11psig).
4. Pump equipped with a 12-Volt DC motor:
a. To operate, the motor must be connected to a 12-volt battery in good
condition, such as the type used in cars, trucks, boats, etc. Motor will
run in either direction. Therefore, connect the red wire to the POSITIVE
(+) terminal of the battery, the black wire to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal
of the battery to have the flow correspond with the arrow on the cover
plate. By reversing the wires to the battery, the pump will discharge from
the opposite port.
b. Low voltage may cause critical overheating and premature failures. To
avoid this, be sure battery voltage is maintained and observe recom-
mended wire size during installation. The motor is splash proof, but not
waterproof. DO NOT SUBMERGE.
CAUTION: Because unit is thermally protected, it is designed to shut off
temporarily in an over heat condition; therefore, pumping extremely hot
liquids is not recommended. Also, to protect the impeller from breakage,
do not pump liquids with a temperature less than 40°F. DO NOT TOUCH
MOTOR, IT MAY BECOME VERY HOT.
WARNING: Do not submerge pump or motor in water.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION: Disconnect from power source when making adjustments and
repairs. On DC (direct current) versions, first disconnect the black negative
(–) lead wire, and then lastly disconnect the red positive (+) lead wire.

2. Always drain pump when not in use.
3. If pump is not going to be used for a month or longer, flush with fresh water
and remove body cover, take impeller out, clean inside body and apply
generous coating of Vaseline, to both inside body and impeller before
replacing impeller in body.
4. Pump should be checked daily, weekly, monthly, etc., for proper opera-
tion. If anything has changed since unit was new, unit should be removed
and repaired or replaced. Only qualified electricians or servicemen should
attempt to repair this unit. Improper repair and/or assembly can cause an
electrical shock hazard.
5. TO REPLACE IMPELLER: Replace impeller when it has become worn or
damaged.
a. Remove cover plate mounting screws.
b. Remove cover plate and cover plate gasket.
c. Slide damaged or worn impeller off motor shaft.
d. Clean the inside of the pump head and the cover gasket sealing surface.
Make certain that there are no foreign materials that would obstruct the
impeller's operation.
e. Apply petroleum jelly or similar lubricant to the inside of the pump head
and the outside diameter of the impeller.
f. Align the flat on the inside of the impeller shaft bore with the flat on the
motor shaft. Push the impeller into place, while twisting the impeller
vanes in a clockwise rotation.
g. Place new gasket on pump head face, align holes and replace cover.
h. Tighten cover plate mounting screws evenly and snugly.

DESCRIPTION
La pompe marine polyvalente Little Giant à été conçue pour un usage commer-
cial et industriel. L'unité à été mise au point afin de fonctionner avec de l'eau
mais n'est pas submersible. Elle sert à transférer des liquides, à vider ou à rem-
plir des réservoirs, des éviers ou des lavabos, etc. La pompe peut être utilisée
pour enlever l'eau de bouchain, mais la pompe ne doit pas être localisée dans
le domaine de bouchain. La pompe s'auto-amorce à 2,1 mètres si la roue à été
mouillée au préalable (amorcée). La pompe marine est une pompe à service
intermittent. La poignée de transport est fournie avec la pompe.
REMARQUE : Il n'est PAS RECOMMANDÉ d'utiliser cette pompe afin de pom-
per du savon, des détergents, de l'essence, de l'huile usée, du mazout ou tout
