1. The #2E-N model pump must be run submerged. The pump should be placed in an
upright position. The volute must always be in a flooded condition; that is, always
under the liquid level.
2. The 2E-38N models are designed to be run in-line or submerged. They can be
positioned in any attitude, but preferably the volute should be located to the side.
3. Attempts should be made to support pump using mounting holes in cover, not by
intake and discharge connections alone. The holes are tapped for #8-32 screw. Hole
depth is .31" DO NOT exceed the hole depth.
4. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the intake may
cause damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates,
then place a valve on the discharge side of the pump or if flexible vinyl tubing is used,
a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict the flow.
5. Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). 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.
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.
7. If fused type plug is used on 230 volt units, a 2.0 amp fuse is recommended.
8. If using an aluminum body pump in an area with water having a high mineral content
(hard water) or if other metals (copper tubing, metal fountain heads, etc.) are present
in the pond or fountain, a condition called "galvanic corrosion" may occur. The
recommended solution to this situation is the use of a sacrificial anode attached to the
pump. This anode works on the same principle as the anode found in hot water
heaters and boat motors. Contact your local distributor and ask for the model SA-1 by
Little Giant.
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. Do not, in any case, open
the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws. The power cord on these
units cannot be replaced. In case of damage the whole unit must be replaced.
