USER MANUAL RY31DP18 RYOBI

C2 – English WARNING! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Follow all safety instructions recommended by the drill manufacturer. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “product” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) product.

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a product. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Risk of explosion or fire. Never pump flammable or explosive liquids such as gasoline or kerosene. Disconnect the drill from the pump when not in use. Unplug the drill or remove the drill battery before attempting to service the pump. Risk of electric shock. Keep hands, feet, and drill dry. Using a wet drill could result in fatal electric shock. Risk of electric shock. When operating with an AC powered drill, ensure it is always grounded to an acceptable electrical outlet. Use only double insulated drill or a drill with a 3-wire grounded power plug. Always connect drill to an outlet equipped with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. PERSONAL SAFETY Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the product in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the product in unexpected situations. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

When using with an AC powered drill, always ensure the drill is properly grounded and plugged into a GFCI protected outlet.

Risk of electric shock, serious personal injury, or death. When connected to a drill, never touch pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet surface.

Keep water discharge pointed away from all electrical devices to reduce the risk of electrocution or electric shock.

Ensure all hose connections are secure before using the drill pump. Spilled water and leaks can result in a slippery surface and create a slip and fall hazard.

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

Always remove battery pack or unplug power cord from your product when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use.

APPLICATIONS You may use this tool for the purpose listed below: Drain or remove water from flooded areas, clogged sinks, water basins, water heaters, swimming pools, etc.

Do not use a drill that exceeds 2,800 max RPM. The drill pump connects to an electric drill, cordless drill or impact driver using a 1/4 in. hex shank connection. Remove battery pack or disconnect the drill from a power supply. Inspect the gasket in the suction hose to ensure it is in good condition and properly installed in the hose. Follow the steps in Priming the Pump section for best priming results. Connect the supplied suction hose to the water inlet on the pump. Connect a heavy duty garden hose to the water outlet on the pump. Attach the drill pump and connected hoses to the drill. Tighten the drill chuck onto the bit located on the back of the pump.

PREPARING THE PUMP FOR USE

See Figures 4 and 5. Inspect hoses prior to use to be sure both are in good condition and are securely connected. Make sure the intake hose is submerged in the liquid and is air tight. Direct the discharge hose away from the area being pumped or into a suitable container. Make sure the direction of rotation of the drill is in the forward setting. NOTE: When drill operates in reverse, the suction and outlet are reversed. Ensure the intake hose is not pinched or kinked. NOTE: Firmly grasp the drill in one hand and the intake hose in the other while the pump is in use.

STARTING/STOPPING THE DRILL PUMP

See Figure 5. To start the pump: Insert the drill’s battery or connect the drill to a power supply.

Battery tools are always in operating condition, therefore the unit should always be in the OFF position, with the battery pack removed, when not in use. Do not leave pump on while unattended. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury. OPERATION6 – English OPERATION

Always install the hoses before operating the unit. Grip the intake hose to prevent any rotation due to starting/stopping torque. Squeeze the switch trigger to start the drill.

Firmly hold the intake hose with a gloved hand while in operation. To stop the pump: Release the switch trigger of the drill. Remove the drill’s battery, or disconnect the drill’s power supply.

See Figure 6. Add water to the water inlet side of the pump to prime the impeller. NOTE: For best results, add water to the inlet to prime the pump. This step is not necessary but it will speed up the priming process. Slowly start the drill, bringing it to full speed within a few seconds. The pump should self-prime within 10 seconds. NOTE: If the pump does not prime, make sure there are no obstructions or leaks in the inlet hose. OPERATION

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

STORING THE DRILL PUMP

Store indoors in a dry, locked-up place out of the reach of children, with the pump disconnected from the drill and all hoses. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemi cals and de-icing salts. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

REPLACING THE IMPELLER AND O-RING

See Figures 7 - 8. Disconnect the pump from the drill and hoses. Locate and remove the four screws from the impeller plate cover. Carefully remove pump cover and inspect o-ring for damage or wear. If o-ring is damaged or worn, replace o-ring. NOTE: Be sure to keep the pump cover and glass plate together in the same order for installation. Remove old impeller and replace with new impeller, lining up the key on the shaft. After insertion, the impeller should be resting flat against the back wall of the pump body, as the original impeller was. Make sure o-ring is properly seated and assemble pump cover and glass plate. Assemble the four screws and hand tighten only. Refer to Starting/Stopping the Drill Pump and check to make sure the impeller plate does not leak.
