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 6EN-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggy-back
plugs on the switch cords. Pump must be plugged into piggy-back
switch cord for automatic operation.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER
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
2
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 TROUBLESHOOTING
section. If trouble still cannot be located, 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.

AVERTISSEMENT
DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ
1. Veiller à débrancher l'appareil de sa source d'alimentation
électrique avant l'entretien ou la dépose d'une ou de plusieurs
piéces.
2. Ne pas utiliser pour pomper des liquides explosifs ou inflammables
(essence, huile, kérosène, etc.) NE PAS utiliser dans des
environnements explosifs ou des lieux considérés comme dangereux
(voir Code nat. de l'Élect., ANSI/NFPAT). Ne pas utiliser dans un
environnement propice aux explosions. Utiliser avec des liquides
