Clean  the  manual  or  electric  pump  with  dry  or  damp  cloth.  Do  not  rinse  or 

submerge the pump in water. 
 

 

Check the cap o-ring after every dive, clean it and only apply a thin film of silicone 

grease. There is no need to over-lubricate the o-ring.   All the o-rings in the device 
are  made  of  Nitrile  rubber  (NBR).    Unlike   silicone  rubber  o-rings,  NBR  o-rings  are 
not  prone  to  swelling,  so  the  type  of  silicone  grease  is  not  critical.  Change  the  o-
rings periodically or in case you detect any damage. 
 

 

To keep the rubber valve working flawlessly, occasionally lift the silicone flapper 

valve's upper lip and apply a dab of silicone grease between the lip and metal part 
of the housing the lip seals against. Rotate the valve pressing lightly downwards to 
spread the grease evenly.  Greasing the valve will ensure a proper seal.

Troubleshooting 

 
To remove the threaded adapter from the housing if it cannot be done manually 
 
Locate the left-hand threaded M5 bolt and nut in the product bag. 
 
Remove the printed circuit and the power wires from the adapter. 
 
Push the bolt from the top through the adapter hole and wind the nut from inside. Tighten 
with  Allen  wrench (turning in the counterclockwise diredtion) until the  nut gains enough 
traction  against  the  adapter  bottom.  If  necessary,  use  the  wrench  or  small  pliers  to  hold 
the nut. 
 
Keep turning the wrench in the same direction to unscrew the adapter completely.
