G INTRODUCTION
This Little Giant product is carefully packaged and inspected to ensure safe operation
and delivery. When you receive your product, examine it carefully to determine that
there are no broken or damaged parts that may have occurred during shipment. If
damage has occurred, make notation and notify the firm from which you purchased the
product. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
The following instructions and safety guidelines will enable you to use the switch for
trouble-free automatic operation of your pump. Please read the instructions and safety
guidelines entirely before using the RS-5LL accessory.
The Little Giant remote switch RS-5LL for submersible pumps can be used either by
attaching it to the 5-MSP pump or used separately with other pumps to control on-off
operation of the pump. The unit comes with a piggyback 115V plug/receptacle and are
for 115V pumps rated 10 amps or less.
The switch is activated by pressure to a diaphragm, which activates a switch providing
power to the pump. Pressure to the diaphragm is caused by rising water around the
switch housing. The differential between "on-off" levels is 1-3/4" (± 1/2").
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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.
3. During operation the area surrounding the pump may be covered with water. Take
care when handling the pump. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power
cord when the pump is operating or connected to power source.
4. Do not stand in water when changing fuses.
5. This product is provided with a three prong grounding plug, to reduce the risk of
electrical shock. When pump is in operation, make sure it is properly connected to
grounded outlet.
6. Always unplug the pump from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the
plug and pull to disconnect.
INSTALLATION
1. For installation on the Little Giant 5-MSP pump, refer to Figure 1. Attach the RS-5LL
directly to the 5-MSP housing using the two Phillips drive screws provided, as shown
in Figure 1. Use the cable ties provided to secure the power cords together. To
ensure proper operation of pump and switch, place pump on a solid surface in water
at least 3/4 inch deep.
2. For installation on Little Giant 6-CIM-R or 6-CBM-R pumps, refer to Figure 2. Attach
the RS-5LL directly to the 6 series pump housing using the two slot drive screws
provided, as shown in Figure 2. Use the cable ties provided to secure the power
cords together. To ensure proper operation of pump and switch, place pump on a
solid surface in water at least 1 inch deep.
3. For universal installation, refer to Figure 3. The RS-5LL can be attached to a pipe with
the cable ties provided. Slots are provided at the upper collar of the switch housing to
enable you to secure the switch to piping. Use one cable tie to attach the switch to
the pipe through the slots on the collar. The other cable tie should be used to secure
the power cord to the piping approximately 3 inches above the switch collar as
shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: When setting the switch separate from the pump, the pump must always
have a flooded intake.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE TOUCHING
THE PUMP OR DISCHARGE WHEN WATER IS PRESENT IN THE AREA OF THE PUMP.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
1. The RS-5LL 115V switch is supplied with a three-prong piggyback plug/receptacle
on the cord and must be used with pumps that have three prong plugs. This
connection is illustrated in Figure 4. The third prong is to ground the pump to prevent
possible electric shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly
grounded grounding type receptacle.
2. A separate branch electrical circuit is recommended. Do not use an extension cord.
3. Be sure that electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no
circumstances should the outlet box be located where it may become flooded or
submerged by water.
4. Automatic power cord contains a breather tube. Be sure power cord is not pinched
so that breather tube is obstructed. Non-restrictive air flow in breather tube is
required for proper RS-5LL operation.
5. Test the pump after all electrical connections have been made. Run water into area
where pump is to be placed. Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could
result in permanent damage to the pump. Fill the area to a normal "on" level and
allow the pump to remove water to a normal "off" level.
6. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. This switch 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.
Switch cord may or may not have a ground wire.
