HIKER PRO REMOVABLE FILTER PROTECTOR
The Filter Protector is a cleanable screen that covers the Hiker Pro cartridge. The Hiker Pro does
not require frequent cleaning, however using the Filter Protector will extend the life of your car-
tridge. It may be used continually or when source water contains suspended particulate or dirt.
Cleaning Filter Protector
If your Hiker Pro becomes difficult to pump, clean the Filter Protector. To clean, carefully remove
the netting and Filter Protector from cartridge. Place Filter Protector on flat surface and clean with
damp sponge or fabric. Rinse with water and reinstall. It is also recommended to clean the filter
cartridge by holding it by the top and "swishing" it in water. This will remove most particles that
may have collected on the filter surface.
