KEY COMPONENTS
Prefilter
The modular prefilter (Figure 1-2) is effective in still and running water. It consists of two compo-
nents: a strainer and a weight. The prefilter is important because it prevents large particles (larg-
er than 130 microns) from entering the water system. See Field Performance Tips for helpful hints.
EasyFill™ Bottle Adaptor
The EasyFill Bottle Adaptor (Figure 2-1) conveniently attaches directly to different sized water con-
tainers.
Hydration Bladder Compatible
Your Katadyn Hiker Pro includes a connector (1) that allows the output hose to attach to the quick
connect fitting built-in to many hydration bladders such as Nalgene, Jansport, etc. This conven-
ient feature allows easy filling of hydration bladders. See illustration (Figure 2-2) for installation.
PRODUCT SET-UP
The Hiker Pro requires minimal set up. For best results, try out the Hiker Pro before first field use
to familiarize yourself with its operation.
1. Connect Hoses
Remove the plastic cap from the output barb; retain for storage. Connect input hose (hose
with prefilter) with quick connect insert to quick release body at base of pump housing.
Connect output hose to output barb on top of cartridge. Connect the EasyFill Bottle Adaptor
to the end of the output hose. (Figures 1-1, 1-2, 2-1) For use with hydration bladder, con-
nect hydration connector to the end of the output hose. (Figure 2-2)
2. 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.
