safely own and operate your product. Retain these instructions for
future reference.
The product you have purchased is of the highest quality
workmanship and material, and has been engineered to give you
long and reliable service. This product has been carefully tested,
inspected, and packaged to ensure safe delivery and operation.
Please examine your item(s) carefully to ensure that no damage

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE
YOUR 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!
DESCRIPTION
The pump you have purchased is a submersible effluent pump
for use in basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping sewage,
effluent, wastewater and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids.
The 10S Series sewage ejector pumps have a 2" spherical solids
handling capability. The 10E Series sewage effluent pumps have a
3/4" spherical solids handling capability.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
10S-CIA-SFS
Submersible
Effluent Pumps
removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the
water surface to soak up the oil.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or
low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections or a
defective motor or pump.
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 other
two are live.
4. 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).
5. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be
wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250’, 14 AWG wire
is sufficient. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the
factory.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Use
the pump only with liquids compatible with pump component
materials.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
Do not use power cord for lifting the pump.
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.
The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain
equipment, pools, etc.
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 fail, motor
bearing failures, etc.
This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor
heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is
non-toxic to aquatic life; however, suffocation can occur if oil is left
on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing, it can be

6. Connect or wire the pump to its own circuit with no other outlets
or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker should
be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
7. Do not modify the power cord except to shorten it to fit into a
control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control
panel must be made within a junction box and mounted outside
of the basin, and comply with the National Electrical Code.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Install the pump in a suitable, gas-tight basin that is at least 18"
in diameter and 24" deep, and vented in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
2. Place the pump on a hard, level surface. Never place the pump
directly on clay, earth, or gravel surfaces.
3. Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent backflow of
liquid into the basin. NOTE: The 10E series uses a 1-1/2" female
NPT discharge; the 10S series uses 2" female NPT discharge.
The check valve should be a free-flow valve that will easily pass
solids. Drill a 3/16" hole in the discharge pipe approximately
1"–2" above the pump discharge connection and below check
valve to prevent air locking the pump.
CAUTION: For best performance of check valves when handling
solids, install the valve horizontally or at an angle of no more
than 45°. Do not install the check valve vertically, as solids may
settle in valve and prevent opening on start-up.
4. Do not restrict the intake side of the pump. This can damage
the seal and can starve the pump. To reduce flow, place a
valve on the discharge side of the pump or, if flexible vinyl
tubing is used, a clamp on the tubing.
5. Do not let the pump operate dry. It is cooled by pumping fluid.
You may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the pump is
allowed to operate dry.
6. If the pump will be idle for an extended period, follow the
cleaning instructions in the MAINTENANCE section. Do not let
the pump freeze in the wintertime. This can cause cracking or
distortion that will damage or destroy the pump.
TESTING
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY
COMPONENT!
CAUTION: DO NOT remove impeller. This requires special tools
and is to be done only by an authorized service center. Do not
remove motor housing cover. Warranty is void if motor housing
cover, impeller, or seals have been removed. Any repair on motor
must be done by an authorized Little Giant service center.
CAUTION; DO NOT remove the three socket head cap screws (1).
The motor section on your pump is permanently lubricated with
dielectric oil and sealed at the factory. Removal of these screws
by anyone other than an authorized Little Giant service center will
break the seal and void the warranty.
Periodic cleaning of the pump will prolong its life and efficiency.
Refer to Figure 2 and the following steps to clean your pump:
1. Disconnect the pump from its power source.
2. 10E series: Remove the five screws (24) that hold the screen
base (22) and base plate (23) to the volute/plate.
10S series: Remove the four hex bolts (19) that hold volute (21)
to the plate (23). Remove the volute.
3. Clean the impeller. Do not use strong solvents.
4. Be sure impeller turns freely after cleaning.
5. Inspect the power cord to ensure that it is in good condition and
has no nicks or cuts.
NOTE: These pumps are equipped with a float-operated mechanical
switch.
1. When the pump is installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch
operation cannot be observed. The basin cover usually will have
a spare hole that is plugged with a rubber plug. Remove this
plug to observe switch operation.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded receptacle with
voltage consistent with pump voltage as indicated on pump
nameplate.
3. Run water into the basin until the pump starts.
4. Be sure gate valve in discharge line is open.
5. Allow the pump to operate through several on-off cycles.
6. If pump does not operate properly, consult the
TROUBLESHOOTING table. If the problem still cannot be
located, consult your pump dealer or take the pump to a Little
Giant authorized service center.
