INTRODUCTION
Your Little Giant pump is designed for use as a universal replacement pump for
factory equipped ice machines. It has been designed to work as a replacement for
virtually all factory installed ice machine pumps. When installing replacement pump,
simply match up impeller and discharge adaptor sizes between the replacement
pump and the pump being replaced.
Use of existing mounting brackets may be required; therefore, save all parts
connected with the installation of original pump.
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow instructions voids all warranty and
could result in bodily harm or property damage. All wiring and plumbing must comply
with local codes. Shut off the electrical power at fuse box before working on the pump
or ice machine.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES.
PUMP SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH LIQUIDS
COMPATIBLE WITH PUMP COMPONENT MATERIALS.
2. DO NOT HANDLE PUMP WITH WET HANDS OR WHEN STANDING ON A
WET OR DAMP SURFACE, OR IN WATER.
3. DO NOT PICK UP THE PUMP BY THE POWER LEADS.
4. BE SURE THAT THE LEAD WIRES ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE
CORRESPONDING EQUIPMENT REQUIRMENTS.
5. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK.
6. P E R I O D I C A L LY I N S P E C T P U M P A N D P E R F O R M R O U T I N E
MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED.
7. CAUTION: THIS IS NOT A SUBMERSIBLE PUMP MOTOR. DO NOT
ALLOW WATER TO RISE AND CONTACT MOTOR. WATER LEVEL
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 3". MINIMUM WATER LEVEL REQUIRED IS
2-1/2".
INSTALLATION
1. The installation of the replacement pump requires use of the factory mounting
bracket to support the pump. Make note of the orientation of the pump when
mounting the replacement pump in the ice machine unit. Protect replacement
pump from water splash.
2. The pump must be securely mounted in the ice machine unit. Failure to securely
mount the pump could result in pump failure and electric shock hazard if the
pump were to tip over into the water.
3. The universal dual voltage ice machine pump is equipped with various impellers
and discharge adaptors to satisfy virtually all mounting configurations and flow
requirements for standard ice machine units (see replacement parts list and
pump diagram).
4. The pump is equipped with impeller diameters of 1.75", 1.83", 1.95", and 2.10"
(1.83" diameter impeller is pre-assembled). The pump also contains discharge
adaptors sized to fit ½", 5/8", ¾", and 1" I.D. tubing.
5. When installing pump, match the impeller diameter of the pump being
replaced with a similar diameter impeller provided with the new replacement
pump. Also, note the discharge adaptor being used on the pump being
replaced and select the correct discharge adaptor offered with the
replacement pump.
6. The universal dual voltage ice machine pump motor is designed for use at 115V
or 230V depending upon the ice machine unit requirements. Installer needs to
verify the voltage of the ice machine unit and wire pump according to the
confirmed voltage.

7. Refer to exploded diagram for assembly/dissasembly of pump. No tools are
required in the pump assembly/dissasembly.
8. To clean pump, remove the (6) thumb nuts in base and clean out with warm water
and mild soap. Impeller can be removed by simply pushing impeller forward
(compressing spring) and removing thumb nut located in the center of impeller
(see figure 1).
9. Disassembly Instructions:
Determine which impeller is required for the factory ice machine unit by comparing
the impeller size to that of the original pump.
a. Remove (6) thumb nuts from the volute plate. Do not lose the o-ring seal
located inside the volute.
b. Press impeller against the pump stand and remove the impeller nut.

c. Remove (2) motor thumb nuts and washers from pump stand.
d. Remove pump stand.
10. Assembly Instructions:
a. Place motor on work surface with shaft end up.
b. Place factory mounting bracket on motor studs followed by the pump
stands (align the motor bracket as required).
c. Be sure that motor shaft is aligned or centered in the pump stand. Place
flat washer and lock washers on the motor studs and secure with motor
thumb nuts.
d. Select proper impeller. Apply impeller spring in D-shaped hole on back of
impeller. Apply impeller onto shaft and push impeller all the way down
onto shaft until impeller is touching pump stand.
e. While impeller is held against pump stand, apply impeller thumb nut and
tighten down until the nut touches the raised notches on the impeller.
f. Release pressure on the impeller. The impeller should spring forward so it
is no longer resting up against the pump stand. Make sure impeller thumb
nut locks into place between raised notches on impeller (see figure 1).
g. Spin the impeller by hand and make sure that it does not rub up against
the pump stand. The clearance between the impeller backplate and the
stand should be about 1/16".
h. Apply o-ring seal to bottom of pump stand so that it rests in the provided
sealing groove.
i. Apply volute plate and tighten (6) thumb nuts.
j. Before final installation, test the pump to insure proper assembly.

FINTRODUCTION
Votre pompe Little Giant est universelle, elle est conçue pour remplacer toute pompe
utilisée dans des machines à glaçons équipées d'une pompe d'origine. Elle a été
conçue pour remplacer pratiquement toutes les pompes de machines à glaçons
équipées d'une pompe d'origine. Lors de l'installation de la pompe de rechange, il
suffit de faire correspondre les tailles de la turbine et de l'adaptateur d'évacuation
entre la pompe de rechange et la pompe remplacée.
Il peut s'avérer nécessaire d'utiliser les supports de fixation; il est donc conseillé de
conserver toutes les pièces utilisées pour l'installation de la pompe d'origine.
Lire attentivement ces instructions. Négliger de suivre ces instructions annule toute garantie
et pourrait entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels. L'intégralité du câblage et
de la plomberie doit respecter les codes locaux. Couper toute alimentation électrique au
niveau du coffret à fusibles avant de travailler sur la pompe ou sur la machine à glaçons.
DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ
1. NE PAS UTILISER POUR POMPER DES LIQUIDES EXPLOSIFS OU
INFLAMMABLES (ESSENCE, HUILE, KÉROSÈNE, ETC.). NE PAS UTILISER
DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT PROPICE AUX EXPLOSIONS. UTILISER AVEC
DES LIQUIDES COMPATIBLES AVEC LES MATÉRIAUX DE LA POMPE.
2. Éviter de manipuler avec les mains humides ou en se trouvant sur une
surface humide ou mouillée ou bien dans l'eau.
3. NE PAS SAISIR LA POMPE PAR LES CORDONS D'ALIMENTATION.
4. S'ASSURER QUE LES CORDONS D'ALIMENTATION SONT CONNECTÉS
CORRECTEMENT AUX ÉQUIPEMENTS REQUIS.
5. DÉBRANCHER L'ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE AVANT D'ENTRETENIR
L'APPAREIL. NÉGLIGER CETTE CONSIGNE POURRAIT ENTRAÎNER UNE
DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE MORTELLE.
When setting final position
of impeller make sure the
three raised notches on the
impeller are locked into
postition on the impeller
thumb screw (as shown).
Lors de l'ajustement de la turbine
dans sa position finale, s'assurer
que les trois encoches surélevées
situées sur la turbine sont
verrouillées en position sur la vis
à oreilles de la turbine (comme il
est illustré).
Al fijar la posición final del
impulsor, asegúrese de que los
tres rebordes resaltados del
impulsor se bloqueen en su
posición en la tuerca de pulgar
del impulsor (como se muestra).
