DESCRIPTION
Little Giant Submersible Sump and Sewage Pumps are recom-
mended for use in basins or lift stations and suitable for pump-
ing non-potable, residential drainage water, effluent, and other
non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids. The ES33 pumps have 3/8"
spherical solids handling capability. Other accessories such as
basins, check valves and covers are also available.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. This pump is supplied with
a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is
connected to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
Your pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. The
third prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical
shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
A separate branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an
extension cord.
When a pump is in a basin, etc., do not touch motor, pipes or
water until unit is unplugged or shut off. If shut-off box is not
accessible, call the electric company to shut off service to the
house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
The flexible 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 mount-
ed outside of the basin, and comply with the National Electrical
Code. Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or
low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.

CAREFULLY
BEFORE
HAZARDS.
PROTECT
TO
COMPLY
WITH
THESE
1. Read all instructions and safety guidelines thoroughly. Failure
to follow the guidelines and instructions could result in serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.
2. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO
NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES OR HAZARDOUS
LOCATIONS AS CLASSIFIED BY NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
3. During normal operation the sump pump is immersed in
water. Also, during rain storms, water may be present in
the surrounding area of the pump. Caution must be used to
prevent bodily injury when working near the pump:
a. The plug must be removed from the receptacle prior to
touching, servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, extreme
care should be used when changing fuses. Do not stand
in water while changing fuses or insert your finger into
the fuse socket.
4. Do not run the pump in a dry basin. If the pump is run in a dry
basin, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high
level. This high level could cause skin burns if the pump is
touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
5. Do not oil the motor. The pump housing is sealed. A high
grade dielectric oil devoid of water has been put into the motor
housing at the factory. Use of other oil could cause serious
electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
6. This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for
motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bear-
