Good point about the frequency.
The coils will also allow a lot more current to go through, so you can most definitely expect it to run hot. You might want to check the amp draw, if you're equipped to measure it.
If I was you. I'd either try to sell it on EBay, and get a 120 Vac version, or swap the motor. Either way, you really can't run with it.
An alternative would be to get a transformer to step up your local voltage to 220. It's going to be bulky, but you'll have the added benefit of running 220V at 60 Hz, which will make your pump more powerful than spec. (see comparative chart of Little Giant pumps, 110 vs 220).
