Battery Pack Removal for Recycling
If your battery pack will no longer hold a charge, you can either purchase a replacement battery pack or a new S6 motor assembly.
To recycle your old battery pack, please follow these instructions:
1. Make sure the motor switch is in the OFF position before beginning.
2. Remove the 6-high-low screws (item 5) from the motor cover (item 1) & lift off. See Figure 8.
3. Remove red & black motor lead wires from the motor terminals one at a time. See Figure 9. Warning: To prevent a short circuit &
battery overheating if lead wires touch tape over the terminals with electrical tape immediately upon removal.
4. Pull the battery pack (item 2) from the motor canister (item 4) using 2 fingers inserted into the middle of the battery pack. See
Figure 10.
5. Cut all wires attached to the battery pack one at a time. See Figure 11. Battery pack is now ready to be taken to a recycling center.

Troubleshooting
• If the motor trips off while pumping, it is being overloaded or battery is dead. To reset the motor, press the switch to the “O” off
position and then back to ON position. If the motor does not restart after being reset the battery requires recharging.
• Increasing the flow rate may be a solution for persistent motor tripping. Persistent motor tripping can also be reduced by running at
a reduced voltage (partially discharged battery).
• Lithium Ion battery packs do not slow down as the pack becomes depleted they will simply stop pumping suddenly. This is normal.
Battery will need to be recharged.
• Using a discharge hose greater than 5 ft (1.5M) long or a discharge nozzle can reduce the maximum volume of liquid pumped per
charge.
• If the charger indicator light fails to illuminate, make sure the charger is plugged into a working outlet or vehicle power port.
• If the charger indicator light fails to turn green after more than 2 ½ hours check the motor charging jack for corrosion. If corroded
replace the charging jack.
