Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut plug from the cord.
If the plug is cut or the cord is shortened, then this action 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 (brown or black) are live.
4. 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).
5. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be
wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250', 14 AWG
wire is sufficient. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician
or the factory.
6. Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no
other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit
breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
7. The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the
pump must not be modified in any way, with the exception
of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice
between the pump and the control panel must be made within
a junction box and mounted outside of the basin and comply
with the National Electrical Code.
8. The 6E-CIA-(RFSN), (VDS) & (EDS) pumps have automatic
switches with piggy-back plugs on the switch cords. Pump
must be plugged into piggy-back switch cord for automatic
operation.
9. The switch cord on the 6E-CIA-(VDS) & (EDS) pumps contains
a breather tube. Be sure the switch cord is not pinched so that
it obstructs the breather tube. Non-restrictive air flow in the
breather tube is required for proper operation of the switch.

ASSEMBLY AND DISSASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP.
OPERATION
1. Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight basin which is at
least 18" in diameter and 24" deep, and vented in accordance
with local plumbing codes.
2. Pump features a 1-1/2" female NPT discharge.
3. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place
pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
4. A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent
back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a
free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when
handling solids install in a horizontal position or at an angle
of no more than 45°. Do not install check valve in a vertical
position, as solids may settle in valve and prevent opening on
start-up.
5. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps.
Restricting the intake may cause damage to the seal and may
starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates, then place
a valve on the discharge side of the pump or if flexible vinyl
tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict
the flow.
6. Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). 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 next section. Do not let
the unit freeze in the wintertime. This may cause cracking or
distortion that may destroy the unit.

TESTING PUMP OPERATION
CIA SERIES EFFLUENT PUMPS
1. These pumps are equipped with a float operated mechanical
switch.
2. When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover,
switch operation cannot be observed. The sump cover usually
will have a spare that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug
can be removed and switch operation can be observed.
3. Plug power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage
consistent with pump voltage as indicated on pump
nameplate.
4. Run water into pump until pump starts.
5. Be sure gate valve in discharge line is open.
6. Allow pump to operate through several on off cycles.
CIM SERIES EFFLUENT PUMPS
1. The pump cord for these pumps can be plugged directly into
a properly grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with
pump nameplate for continuous pump operation.
CAUTION: This type of operation should be used only for
emergency use or when a large volume of water is to be
pumped. Pump must not be allowed to run dry. If pump is run
dry, it may damage pump and void the warranty.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE CERTAIN THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR
REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. If pump does not operate properly, consult the troubleshooting
chart. If trouble cannot be located with these steps shown,
consult your pump dealer or take pump to a Little Giant
authorized service center.
2. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do
not, in any case, open the sealed portion of the unit or remove
housing screws.
3. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE
and EFFICIENCY of the pump. Refer to the assembly and
disassembly of the pumping head.
4. Remove screws that hold base to volute and clean impeller
and volute passage. Do not use strong solvents on impeller.
5. Be sure impeller turns freely after cleaning.
6. WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE IMPELLER. REMOVAL OF
IMPELLER REQUIRES SPECIAL TOOLS AND IS TO BE DONE
ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
DO NOT REMOVE MOTOR HOUSING COVER. WARRANTY
IS VOID IF MOTOR HOUSING COVER, IMPELLER OR SEALS
HAVE BEEN REMOVED. ANY REPAIR ON MOTOR MUST
BE DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED LITTLE GIANT SERVICE
CENTER.
7. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no
nicks or cuts.
