NOTE: This pump is intended for use only in parts cleaners listed by
Underwriters Laboratories. The combination of the fluid pumped, the pump,
and the design of the parts washer will determine if additional safety devices
such as low liquid level cut off are required. Refer to parts washer
manufacturer's instructions to see if this is required.
The PE-1YSA pump is designed for submerged use only. The pump motor is
encapsulated in an epoxy resin. It is intended to pump the following fluids:
A. Metal Parts Cleaning Solvents: Unheated metal parts cleaning solvents,
(classified as PJQU as described in the Gas and Oil Equipment Directory).
These products are refined petroleum distillates, which are free from
tendency to heat spontaneously. They have a closed cup flash point not
lower than 100°F. The low flash point of these combustible liquids does
present a moderate fire hazard. Operating the pump fully submerged offers
added protection from fire risk.
B. Aqueous Cleaning Solutions: This is a water based solution that should
not be used in excess of 140° F and a maximum pH of 12.
These are typical fluids which are compatible with the pump materials.
1. The low flash point of these combustible liquids does present a moderate
fire hazard. Operating the pump fully submerged offers added protection
from fire risk. For other solvent handling precautions, consult the material
safety data sheet (OSHA–20 form, or equivalent) for the solvent used.
2. Use any metal parts cleaning solvents which are UL approved or aqueous
cleaning solutions. The use of fluids such as gasoline, and lower flash point
solvents are dangerous and may cause explosions or fire.

Power cord supplied with this pump should not be in contact with solution. The
solution may attack the cord insulation causing cord to become stiff or lower the
insulating properties. The pump is supplied with a three conductor power cord. The
third conductor is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard.
1. Power cord is to be sealed inside of liquid tight 1/2" NPT steel intermediate
metal conduit. Use caution to insure cord will have no nicks or cuts.
2. Consult pump nameplate data for proper voltage and frequency. Please
note, the black (or brown) and white (or blue) wires are live and the green
or green/yellow wire is the ground wire.
3. Be sure that the pump is fully submerged in the cleaning solution.
4. The pump power supply cord must be connected to a properly grounded,
grounding–type receptacle.
5. The pump must be protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
when pumping water based solutions.
MAINTENANCE
MAKE CERTAIN THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required.
2. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE and EFFICIENCY of the
pump. Refer to Fig. 2 for the assembly and disassembly of the pumping head.
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a brush
and penetrating oil and lightly scrape. Note: Do not allow sediment (from parts
being washed) to build up and restrict the flow of fluid into the pump.
4. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it is free. If it does not turn or if
pump is tripping circuit breaker, or not operating properly after cleaning,
return to Little Giant. Do not attempt repairs yourself. If it does turn replace
volute and re–install into parts washer.
5. Be certain power cord is protected from solvent and contains no nicks or cuts.
SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Before servicing the pump, see solvent and equipment manufacturer's
instructions for further safety information and possible hazards.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. This pump must be properly grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electrical shock.
4. The pump must be protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
when pumping water based solutions.
