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 carefully 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 following hazards:

Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage due to explosion, fire, or electric shock.

  • Do not use to pump flammable, combustible, or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
  • o 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.

INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

  1. Adjust the flow by turning the flow control mechanism located on the front of the pump.
  2. Place the pump in the water and ensure it is completely submerged.
    • To use the provided suction cup feet, wet the cups’ ends and slide them into the slots at the bot-tom of the pump housing.
    • Ensure that the pump’s weight is adequately supported and NOT resting on the discharge con-nection.
  3. Fine tune to the desired flow rate by turning the flow control mechanism.

Electrical Connections

Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the pump nameplate voltage.

  • The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment in the circuit. Do not connect to a fan or any device that runs intermittently.
  • The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity.
  • Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by code.

IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic MaintenanceLight-GIANT-PES-40-PW-PES-Series-Magnetic-Drive-Pumps-fig-1

  1. Disconnect pump from power and remove from water source.
  2. Remove the front plate by gently squeezing its sides and pulling it from the main body of the pump.
  3. Turn the volute plate 1/8-turn counter-clockwise and remove it from the pump body.
    • If necessary, gently use pliers.
  4. If the shaft assembly did not come out with the volute plate, carefully remove it.
  5. Remove the rubber end cups from both ends of the shaft.
    • One may still remain in the volute plate.
  6. Clean any corrosion or debris from the impeller, shaft, and impeller cavity.
  7. Reassemble the parts in the reverse order, beginning with the rubber end cups.

Troubleshooting

Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action
 

 

No water flow from pump

There is no power to

pump

Connect the pump to power.
The pump is not priming Ensure that the inlet of the pump is below the water sur-

face.

The pump trips its cir-

cuit breaker or GFCI

Replace pump
 

 

Low water flow from the pump

The pump intake is blocked Remove debris blocking the intake screen or impeller.
The pump is not large enough Select a larger capacity pump.
The flow control valve is

mis-adjusted

Turn the flow control valve until the desired flow is

reached.

Pump runs intermit-

tently

The pump is too hot Check to see that no debris is clogging the suction port.
