The patented Little Giant magnetic drive pump design consists of a cylindrical drive magnet attached to the motor shaft, which
rotates around a chemical resistant plastic separator housing. Inside this housing is a magnet completely encapsulated in
chemical resistant plastic, and fixed to the impeller. The impeller assembly is free to rotate on a spindle that is supported at both
ends. The spindle is held captive and does not turn. Front and rear thrust washers are utilized as wear bearings. The washers are
held captive and do not revolve. This prevents wear on the shaft. With the magnetic coupling the motor drives the impeller. This
coupling eliminates the conventional shaft seal and its possibility of leakage.
The plastic parts on SC series pumps are made of glass-filled polypropylene. The plastic parts on the HC series pumps are glass
filled PPS. The spindle shaft which is stationary and the captive thrust washers (front and rear) are alumina ceramic. The O-ring
seal is Nitrile for the SC series, and Fluoroelastomer (FKM) for the HC series. The HC series utilizes a pure carbon bushing in the
impeller to enable the pump to run dry for periods up to eight hours at a time.

Your Little Giant pump is delivered to you completely pre-assembled and pretested from the factory. It is ready for immediate
1 1 use. The pump may be installed in any position. It may be mounted vertically with the pump head down. Proper plumbing
1 connections should be made. See specification table to determine what size intake and discharge your pump has. Use a thread
sealer on all pipe connections and hand tighten only. Note: On HC models a roll of PTFE pipe seal tape is supplied. Do not use
4 4 4
a wrench to tighten the HC model connections. Excessive force may damage the plastic part. Make sure the wing nuts are tight
4 4 4
before operating the pump. Motor nameplates list all electrical data. Make sure the pump is connected to proper voltage before
1 1 1
operating. When wiring pumps with no plug, the green (or green/yellow) wire is the ground. The other two wires are line (live). If
1 1 1
fused type plug is used, a 2.0 amp fuse is recommended.

Do not allow the SC models to run dry (without fluid). However, because the HC models utilize a carbon bushing in the impeller
1
they may be allowed to run dry for periods up to eight hours at a time. These pumps are not submersible. Operate the pumps only
4 4 4
in the in-line mode. Do not put the units in liquid. Pump should be installed in a dry area and protected from splash. IMPORTANT:
2 2 2
When used in-line, it must be installed so that the pump head (volute) is flooded before starting. That is, the inlet of the pump
1 1
must be below the level of the surface of the liquid being pumped. (See Figure
1.) Do not restrict the intake side of the pump. Connections on the intake side
should not be of smaller inside diameter pipe or tubing or hose than the intake
1
inside diameter of the intake thread designation. If reduced flow is required
restrict the discharge side. Installing a valve or other type of restriction device
1 1
on the discharge side is the proper method for reducing flow from the pump.
1
When using a valve the pump can be throttled to provide various flow rates and
4 4 4
pressures without harming the motor or the pump parts. The pump should not be
installed in a manner that will subject it to splashing or spraying.

MAKE CERTAIN THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR
REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. The motor's sleeve bearings should be lubricated every six months with two to three drops of S.A.E. 20 weight non-detergent
oil. The oil holes are located on top at each end of the motor.
2. All wetted parts can be serviced by removing the four wing nuts (item 12) from the housing. The pump head components
can easily be replaced in the field if necessary.
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller.
4. If pump is tripping circuit breakers, GFCI, or not operating properly after cleaning, return to a Little Giant authorized service
center. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
5. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
La conception brevetée de la pompe à entraînement magnétique Little Giant consiste en un cylindre magnétique d'entraînement,
fixé à l'arbre du moteur, qui tourne autour d'un boîtier séparateur de plastique résistant aux produits chimiques. À l'intérieur du
boîtier se trouve un aimant complètement encapsulé dans du plastique du même type. Cet aimant est fixé à la turbine. Celle-ci
tourne sur un mandrin supporté à ses deux extrémités. Le mandrin, lui, ne tourne pas. Des rondelles de butée avant et arrière
servent de coussinets d'usure. Afin de prévenir l'usure du mandrin, les rondelles sont immobilisées et ne tournent pas. Le
couplage de l'aimant acionne le moteur qui fait tourner la turbine. Le couplage élimine le presse-étoupe de l'arbre et du même
coup le risque de fuite.
