Remove the discharged batteries from the 12xD Cell battery holder and dispose of the batteries ac-
cording to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of alkaline batteries. Install 12 new fresh
D Cell alkaline batteries into the 12xD Cell battery holder - being careful to assemble the batteries in the
correct orientation as indicated on the battery holder. When the battery holder is loaded with 12 new D
Cell alkaline batteries, set the 12xD Cell battery holder back into the chassis. The battery holder only fits
in one orientation. Re-connect the Molex on the battery holder to the wiring harness. Turn the device on
to verify the batteries are correctly installed and the battery holder is connected to the wiring harness. Ob-
serve the battery voltage indicator on the control panel. The green LED should be lit indicating the batter-
ies have a high level of charge.
Running the device using the #80665 DC power cord (Available for purchase on shop.sscor.com)
Connect the DC power cord to the 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle. Connect the DC
power cord to the suction unit by securely attaching the charging plug into the receptacle. If the suction
unit is operated while it is hooked up to the vehicle it will utilize the vehicle power and save its own battery
for emergency use. The DC power cord will not charge the 12xD Cell batteries when connected to the
suction device.
CAUTION: The #80529 power adapter will not charge the 12xD Cell batteries when connected to the suc-
tion device. If the 80529 power adapter is connected to the SSCOR DCell Suction device and the battery
voltage indicator shows a red LED, the output from the power adapter is not sufficient to power the
SSCOR DCell Suction device. The device is running from its internal batteries. The 80529 power adapter
may be purchased at shop.sscor.com.
