Product Setup
The Guide requires minimal set up. For best results, try out the Guide before first field use
to familiarize yourself with its operation.
1)
Connect Hoses
Remove the two plastic caps from the input and output barbs on the pump base; retain
for storage. Connect large diameter input hose to large diameter input barb on the
pump base. Connect the small diameter output hose to small diameter output barb
on the pump base. Connect the EasyFill Bottle Adaptor to the end of the output hose.
(Figures 11, 21, 22)

Flush System
Important: Before first use, flush system by pumping approximately 1 liter of water
through the unit to remove harmless carbon dust. Slightly discolored water is normal
when flushing. See following section on Normal Operation on how to filter water.
Normal Operation

the bottom and away from sediment.
2)
Insert the EasyFill Bottle Adaptor into a clean water container

. (Figure 21)
3)
Make sure the hoses are not kinked. Begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady
manner. Approximately 36 strokes per minute equals 1 liter of water.
4)
After filling water container with filtered water, remove bottle adaptor from
container and prefilter from water source. Continue pumping to remove remaining
water from pump body.
5)
Store unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination,
remove the output hose and EasyFill Bottle Adaptor and store separately in a re
sealable bag inside the carry bag.
