1. Locate the connection box in a dry area at least 6-1/2 feet from the edge of the water.
2. Place the pump into the water on a flat surface, ensuring that the pump is completely submersed and that the volute is filled with water.
   • Caution: If the surface is dirt or sand, place the pump on a flat object such as a brick or stone to prevent clogging. For best results, place the pump into a skimmer.
   • Caution: Ensure that the water level does not go below 9.8" (FP1, FP2 and FP3) or 11.8" (FP6 and FP9).
3. FP1, FP2, and FP3 ONLY: The discharge can be configured to point up or to the side, depending on the application. To redirect the discharge, loosen the four clip screws, turn the motor housing until the discharge is in the desired position, and tighten the screws.
4. Make all necessary intake and discharge connections. NOTE: Use a pre-filter on the intake for added protection from clogging.
5. Connect the pump to power.
6. Observe that the pump operates properly. Ensure that the pump will not run dry; without a continuous supply of water, damage will result and void the warranty.
7. If reduced flow is required, restrict the discharge. Never restrict the intake.

Out-of-Water (Non-Submersible) Installation

1. Locate the connection box in a dry area at least 6-1/2 feet from the edge of the water.
2. Place the pump out of the water and below water level, ensuring that water can flow into the pump. (The pump is not self-priming).
3. FP1, FP2, and FP3 ONLY: The discharge can be configured to point up or to the side, depending on the application. To redirect the discharge, loosen the four clip screws, turn the motor housing until the discharge is in the desired position, and tighten the screws.
4. Connect an intake hose and discharge hose to the pump, ensuring that the connections are watertight. NOTE: To help prevent clogging, use a pre-filter on the intake hose. For easier installation, use Little Giant installation kit and leaf basket (optional).
5. Fill the intake hose and the volute with water.
6. Connect the pump to power.
7. Observe that the pump operates properly. Ensure that the pump will not run dry; without a continuous supply of water, damage will result and void the warranty.
