WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator's manual.

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica-

tions provided with this pump. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pump. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating pump. Do not use pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• 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 pump. Carrying pumps with your finger on the switch or energizing pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the pump in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of pump allow you to become complacent and ignore pump safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

PUMP USE AND CARE

• Do not force the pump. Use the correct pump for your application. The correct pump will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed
• Do not use the pump if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any pump that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Remove the battery pack from the pump before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pump accidentally.
• Store idle pump out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pump or these instructions to operate the pump. Pumps are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain pump and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the pump's operation. If damaged, have the pump repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained pumps.

• Use the pump, accessories and etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the pump for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the pump in unexpected situations.

BATTERY USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use pump only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or pump that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or pump to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265^ (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or pump outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

• Have your pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Removing/Installing the Hose Fitting

1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.

2. To remove the hose fitting, twist the fitting counterclockwise and pull it away from the rest of the tool.

3. To install the hose fitting, hand twist the fitting clockwise until it is fully connected with the rest of the tool. Do not overtighten.

Connecting the Outlet Hose

- Use a hose with a 3/4"-11.5 GHT fitting. To prevent leaking, ensure the hose has a properly-working o-ring in its fitting.

- For best results, a heavy duty hose should be used to prevent the hose from collapsing. Use a short length, large diameter hose, such as a 6' long, 3/4" inner diameter garden hose. Longer or thinner hoses may reduce performance and flow rate.

- A regular garden hose may be used as an outlet hose.

• Make sure connections are tight.

- Hand thread the outlet hose onto the pump's hose fitting. Do not overtighten, or the threads may be damaged on the fitting or hose.

Removing/Installing the HydroPass™ Filter

1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the too
2. To remove the HydroPass™ filter (Cat. No. 22-06-0604), use a T20 screwdriver to loosen the fastening screw. Twist the filter counterclockwise and pull it away from the rest of the tool.
3. To install the HydroPass™ filter, line the filter up at the end of the lift tube and hand twist the filter clockwise until it is fully connected with the rest of the tool. Do not overtighten. Use a T20 screwdriver to securely tighten the fastening screw.

NOTE: The HydroPass™ filter must be installed to use the pump.

OPERATION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye protection marked h ANSI Z87.1.

Operating the Pump

WARNING

Do NOT use in a flammable or explosive atmosphere. Do NOT pump brine, laundry discharge, or any other application which may contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign material. Do NOT pump fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, or kerosene.

This pump is designed for outdoor applications where water and organic debris (sticks, leaves, sand, gravel and soil) might be present. It can also be used with clean and salt water, but must be flushed out afterwards to avoid damaging the tool.

1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the too
2. Ensure the HydroPass™ filter is properly installed. Do not operate without filter installed. Inspect the filter and keep it clean and free of all foreign objects
3. Connect the hose to the pump.
4. Lay out the hose to ensure there are no blockages, kinks or bends. Take appropriate safety precautions to ensure the hose is secure for the worksite.
5. Place the HydroPass ^™ filter and lift tube below water surface, aiming as near as possible to the middle of the water source.

WARNING! Do not submerge the tool past the handle.

The pump will achieve best performance with the HydroPass™ filter as flat as possible and fully submerged in the water. The pump is not designed to sustain working in dry conditions. The pump will shutdown if working in dry conditions for a long period of time.

1. Insert battery pack.
2. Press and hold the power button to turn on the tool.
3. As soon as the pump begins to take in air or pumping is complete, turn off pump.

To prevent backflow, remove the pump from the water before turning off.

1. Allow the liquid inside of the pump to drain out. If anything but clear water is accidentally pumped, flush with clear water for at least 30 seconds immediately after use.
2. Flush the pump with clear water immediately after use to prevent any damage to the tool.
3. Remove the battery and hose from the pump. Let pump and hose drain before storing.
