Little Giant PP-1 User manual

LITTLE GIANT
POTENT PUMP
INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet will provide you with the information required
to safely own and operate your Little Giant pump.
Little Giant pumps are carefully packaged, inspected and tested to
insure safe operation and delivery. When you receive your pump,
examine it carefully to determine that there are no broken or dam-
aged parts that may have occurred during shipment. If damage has
occurred, make notation and notify the firm you purchased the pump
from. They will assist you in replacement or repair if required.
This pump is designed to pump water. Read instructions com-
pletely before operating pump.
INSTALLATION
Your Little Giant pump is delivered to you completely pre-
assembled and pretested from the factory. It is ready for
immediate use. These pumps are not submersible, operate the
pumps only in the in-line mode. Do not put the units in liquid.
Keep the pump in as dry a location as possible.
Do not allow pump to run dry. Do not restrict the intake side of the
pump. Connections on the intake side should not be of smaller
inside diameter hose than the intake inside diameter. Do not
restrict the discharge flow to zero. Allowing pump to run dry will
damage pump. Inspect impeller for wear periodically by removing
4 screws on pump front. Pull motor and adaptor assembly away
from pump front and check impeller for wear and pump front for
obstructions. Replace front.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage. Do not connect to
voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third
plug is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock
hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third 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 the brown (or black) are live.
4. To connect model PPS-12 to power source connect the black
battery clamp to the negative (-) pole and the red battery clamp
to the positive (+) pole on a 12 volt D.C. battery. Do not oper-
ate pump with a weak battery. This will cause motor to stall
resulting in motor burning out.
OPERATION
1. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DISCONNECT PUMP FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
SERVICING.
2. This pump is designed for intermittent use only (45 minutes on,
15 minutes off).
3. Do not run at heads greater than 35 feet (15 PSIG).
4. Make sure that suction line is airtight, obstruction-free, and well
submerged in fluid to be pumped. Do not allow end of suction
line to lay in bottom sludge, etc. Keep end away from bottom.
5. Make sure discharge hose is placed where fluid is to be
pumped to.
6. Select proper power source and voltage as indicated on pump
label.
7. Energize pump.
8. If fluid is not being pumped through discharge hose within 30
seconds, disconnect pump from power source immediately.
Read and follow “Priming Instructions.”
9. Drain pump after use in freezing weather.
PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS
Should pump not begin to move water within 30 seconds after
being energized, follow priming instructions below:
1. Fill intake hose with water while still connected to the pump.
This may be done by simply pouring water down the intake
hose from the open end.
2. Have an assistant place a finger over the end of the hose and
lower to water source.
3. Immediately energize the pump, releasing finger from the
intake hose simultaneously.
4. Pump should now operate without needing to be primed
again. Repeat steps 1-3 if unit does not begin to pump.
