SAFETY INFORMATION

PUMP SAFETY

DANGER



NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive

atmosphere or near combustible materials.An

explosion or ﬁre could result causing severe

bodily harm or even death.

WARNING



Accidental starting can cause severe injury

or death. ALWAYS place the ON/OFF

switch in the OFF position.



DO NOT place hands or fingers inside

pump when pump is running.



NEVER disconnect any emergency or

safety devices. These devices are intended for operator

safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe

injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any

of these devices will void all warranties.



Risk of Electric Shock - Do not enter the pool or spa

if the pump is operating.

CAUTION



Be careful of discharge hose whipping under pressure.



ALWAYS check pump oil level only when pump is cool.

Expansion due to heat may cause hot oil to spray from

the oil plug when the oil plug is removed. The possibility

of severe scalding may exist.

NOTICE



ALWAYS place the pump in an upright position on a

platform before using.The platform will prevent the pump

from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.



NEVER operate pump on its side.



DO NOT allow the pump to freeze in water.



NEVER leave an open pump chamber unattended.



ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

DO NOT attempt to thaw out a frozen pump by using

a torch or other source of ﬂame. Application of heat in

this manner may heat the oil in the seal cavity above the

critical point, causing pump damage.

DO NOT

pump water with a temperature greater than

140°F (60°C).

DO NOT pump liquids containing acid or alkali.

ALWAYS

check strainer before pumping. Make sure

strainer is not clogged. Remove any large objects, dirt

or debris from the strainer to prevent clogging.

ALWAYS

use a large basket strainer when pumping

water that contains large debris.

ALWAYS

ﬂush pump (clean) after use when pumping

water concentrated with heavy debris. It is very important

to always ﬂush the pump before turning it off to prevent

clogging.



Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts

immediately.

ALWAYS

store equipment properly when it is not being

used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location

out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

NEVER

lubricate components or attempt service on a

running machine.

NEVER run pump dry.

ALWAYS

allow the machine a proper amount of time to

cool before servicing.

Keep machine in proper running condition.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DANGER

The electrical voltage required to operate

pump can cause severe injury or even death

through physical contact with live circuits.

ALWAYS disconnect electrical power from

pump before performing maintenance on

pump.

WARNING



To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect to a circuit

protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).

LITTLE SUB™ SUBMERSIBLE PUMP • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (09/03/19) — PAGE 7

SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE



ALWAYS make certain that the voltage supplied to the

pump is correct. Always read the pump’s nameplate to

determine what the power requirements are.

Power Cord/Cable Safety

DANGER



NEVER stand in water while AC power cord is connected

to a live power source.



NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords. Inspect

for cuts in the insulation.



NEVER grab or touch a live power

cord or cable with wet hands. The

possibility exists of electrical shock,

electrocution or death.



Make sure power cables are securely connected to the

motor's output receptacles. Incorrect connections may

cause electrical shock and damage to the motor.

WARNING



NEVER attempt to use the power cord as a lifting or

lowering device for the pump.

NOTICE



ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension

cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection

Chart in this manual.

Grounding Safety

DANGER



ALWAYS make sure pump is grounded.



NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.



ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly

grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per

the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes

before operating generator. Severe injury or death by

electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded

motor.

Control Box Safety

DANGER

ALWAYS

have a qualiﬁed electrician perform the control

box installation. The possibility exists of electrical shock

or electrocution.

NOTICE

ALWAYS

mount control box in a vertical position

protected from harsh environmental elements.

LIFTING SAFETY

CAUTION



When raising or lowering of the pump is required, always

attach an adequate rope or lifting device to the correct

lifting point (handle) on the pump.

NOTICE

NEVER

lift the equipment while the electric motor is

running.

TRANSPORTING SAFETY

NOTICE

ALWAYS shut down pump before transporting.

ALWAYS tie down equipment during transport.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING

DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto

the ground, down a drain or into any water

source.

Contact your country's Department of Public

Works or recycling agency in your area and arrange for

proper disposal of any electrical components, waste or

oil associated with this equipment.



When the life cycle of this equipment is over it is

recommended that the pump casing and all other metal

parts be sent to a recycling center

Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from

discarded products and its transformation into raw

materials to use in manufacturing a new product.

Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process

of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center

promotes energy cost savings.

PERFORMANCE CURVE

PAGE 10 — LITTLE SUB™ SUBMERSIBLE PUMP • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (09/03/19)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The MQ Little Sub™ is a lightweight, portable, submersible

pump designed to move fresh water in the following

common applications: ﬂooded rooms and roofs, fountains

and waterfalls, swimming pools and spas, simple fill-

tank requirements, and general low-ﬂow water transfer

operations.

The Little Sub™ can discharge a very limited size and

amount of debris, and is not designed to handle chemicals,

salts, or other low pH liquids. The unit best operates with

water temperatures under 104° F.

For optimum performance and pump longevity, it is best

to always position the pump in a vertical, upright position

and ensure that the proper electricity (115V single-phase)

power is always introduced.

Always raise/lower the pump in position by attaching a rope

cord to the molded handle. NEVER use the power cord to

act as a raise/lowering device.

For discharge, the pump provides two discharge port

diameter options: 1 ¼” NPT thread or ¾” common garden

hose thread. Excessive discharge hose or pipe lengths

will affect ﬂow and head performance (see Performance

Curve Chart).

The pump ON/OFF operations occur automatically with the

connection of the power cord to the electrical source (there

is no switch located on the pump). An optional Control Box

(model CB3) is available through MQ Sales if the operator

requires cycling the pump via the convenience of an ON/

OFF switch.

The pump provides internal overload protection if extreme

motor over-heating occurs, but this feature should not

be relied upon as a common means of operations.

Continual over-heating of the motor often caused by

improper electricity, extreme extension cord lengths and/

or incorrect extension cord gauge, operating dry, continual

operations for extended periods of time, and excessive

high temperature ﬂuid operations will shorten the life of

the pump motor.

Performance of the Little Sub™ (Flow, Head, Velocity and

Pressure) is based upon the application givens that include:

discharge hose diameter and length, friction loss factors,

and general rise and run discharge ﬁgures. The pump

permits dewatering levels down to approximately 1/8”.

DO NOT allow the pump to run ‘dry’, or be allowed to freeze

with water still in the unit.
