SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically qualified personnel who are familiar with
the correct selection and use of appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure to comply with
national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within Little Giant recommendations may result in
electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Know the product's application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read and follow instructions carefully to
avoid injury and property damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described in this manual.
Refer to product data plate(s) for additional precautions, operating instructions and specifications.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all applicable codes may result in the following
hazards:
Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage due to explosion,
fire, or electric shock.
•
Do not use to pump flammable, combustible, or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
•
Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70.
•
Do not handle pumps or any other system components with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in
water.
•
When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is unplugged or electrically dis-
connected.
•
If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
•
If the disconnect panel is not accessible, contact the electric company to stop service.
•
Wet cell batteries contain acids that are corrosive. Proper protection shall be used when handling. Do not allow contact
on person, clothing, or components of the system. Follow battery manufacturers recommendations.
•
Remove AC power from the charger before connecting or disconnecting terminals from the battery. Do allow items to
make contact between the negative and positive battery terminals.
•

•
Keep ignition sources away from battery.
•
This pump and backup system is intended for use with clean ground water. Do not use to pump sewage or in pit that col-
lects raw sewage.
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one disconnect
switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
•
Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations
as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

extension cord.
•
Be sure that none of the electrical connections or charger can be reached by rising water.
•
Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If not,
a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
•
