This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to safely
own and operate your Little Giant product. Retain these instructions for future
reference.
The Little Giant product you have purchased is of the highest quality work-
manship and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable
service. Little Giant products are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to
ensure safe delivery and operation. Please examine your item(s) carefully to

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR LITTLE GIANT PRODUCT.
KNOW THE PRODUCT'S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL
HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING
ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source before
attempting to service or remove any component.
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.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp sur-
face or in water.
Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump is
operating or connected to power source.
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 protected by a
ground fault circuit interrupter.
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.
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.
The National Electric Code (in the USA) and similar codes in other countries
require a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to be installed in the branch
circuit supplying fountain equipment rated above 15 volts.
This pump is intended for draining swimming pool covers only and should not
be used if there are people in the pool.
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. Do not shorten the cord or cut the plug from the
cord; this 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, and the other two are live.
OPERATION
1. This pump must be operated with the volute intake below the liquid level.
2. This pump can be placed in any position.
3. The volute on this pump can be rotated 90° to allow for different pump
orientations. To rotate the volute, remove the three volute screws (item 2).
Remove and rotate the volute and gasket and reinstall the three screws in
the additional holes in the front of the pump housing.
SMALL SUBMERSIBLE
ENCAPSULATED PUMP
PE-1-PCP
NOTE: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE TORQUE ON THE VOLUTE SCREWS;
THIS COULD CAUSE THE HOLES TO STRIP .
4. The weight of the pump must be supported adequately. DO NOT support the
pump by the discharge connection alone. Pump may be supported by using
the two mounting holes in the back of the pump. The holes are designed for
#8 self-tapping screws. DO NOT exceed the hole depth of .37".
5. Do not restrict the intake side of the pump; this may cause damage to the
seal and may starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates, place a
valve on the discharge side of the pump or, if flexible vinyl tubing is used,
a clamp on the tubing to restrict the flow.
6. Do not let the unit operate dry. It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid.
You may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to
run dry.
7. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instruc-
tions outlined in the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS section. Do not let the unit
freeze in the wintertime. This may cause cracking or distortion that may
destroy the unit.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE CERTAIN THAT 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. The power cord
cannot be replaced. In case of damage the whole unit must be replaced.
2. Remove the intake screen from the pump. (Screen is snapped on and can be
removed by pulling.) Then remove the three screws that attach the volute.
3. Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a brush
and penetrating oil and lightly scrape to remove encrusted material.
4. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump down so the
pump and impeller are not touching anything. Plug the unit into GFCI circuit
for 10 seconds to see if the impeller turns; a) If it is rotating and GFCI did not
trip, unplug unit and install parts in reverse order in which they were removed.
b) If it does not rotate, if pump is tripping circuit breakers, or not operating
properly after cleaning, return to Little Giant or its authorized service center.
DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.
5. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
