SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source
before attempting to service or remove any component.
2. 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.
3. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet
or damp surface or in water.
4. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or
grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric
shock. be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded
grounding type receptacle.
5. In any installation where property damage and/or personal
injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason,
a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
6. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fall, motor
bearing failures, etc.

7. If pump is an oil-filled pump, the motor housing is filled with
a dielectric lubricant at the factory for optimum motor heat
transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. Use of any
other lubricant could cause damage and void the warranty.
This lubricant is non-toxic; however, if it escapes the motor
housing, it should be removed from the surface quickly by
placing newspapers or other absorbent material on the water
surface to soak it up, so aquatic life is undisturbed.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not
connect to voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied 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. Do not cut plug from the cord. If
the plug is cut or the cord is shortened, then this action will
void the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on
230v models, be sure that the lead wires are connected to a
power source correctly. The (green/yellow) wire is the ground.
The (blue or white) and the (brown or black) are live.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR
PROPER ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE
GIANT PUMP.
OPERATION
1. The PES model pumps must be operated in clean fresh water
with the volute intake below the liquid level.
2. The pumps can be placed in any position. There are four suction
cup feet provided with the pump. To install the suction cups, wet
the ends and press them into the four holes on the bottom of the
intake housing.
3. The weight of the pumps must be supported adequately. DO
NOT support the pumps by the discharge connection alone.
4. The discharge is designed for use with 1/2" ID flexible tubing.
An adaptor that fits inside of the discharge is included to allow
the use of 3/8" ID flexible tubing.
5. The flow rate on the PES Series pump can be adjusted by
rotating the flow adjuster located on the front of the pump.
Rotate the adjuster counterclockwise to increase flow and
clockwise to decrease flow. If flow rate needs to be reduced
even further, then place a valve on the discharge side of the
pump or if flexible tubing is used, a clamp can be used on
the tubing.
6. 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.
