Battery Installation/Charging
Installing the Battery Pack
To enhance batt ery life, SKC ships the batt ery pack separate from the
pump.
Once installed, completely charge the batt ery pack before operating
the pump. It may be necessary to charge the batt ery a few times before
maximum capacity is achieved.
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove six screws from the back of the
pump case.
2. Insert the batt ery pack inside the pump case with the label facing up.
3. Grasp the white connector from inside the pump case and the white connec-
tor from the batt ery. Ensure the two pins inside the pump connector align
with the two sockets inside the batt ery connector. Push the two connectors
together fi rmly until they click.
4. Ensure the connector is seated inside the pump case.
5. Replace the back plate on the pump ensuring the belt clip opens downward.
6. Replace and tighten the six screws.
Charging the Battery
For a complete charge, ensure the pump is not running during charging. Charge
the batt ery by connecting the charger plug to the sampler charging jack on the
right side of the pump (see charger operating instructions). Ensure that the batt ery
is fully charged before sampling.
Aft er charging the batt ery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately 5 minutes before measuring the fl ow rate. This ensures
the batt ery is in more steady state conditions.
The batt ery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an
indefi nite time.
Do not charge or operate pump from charger in hazardous locations.
Use only an SKC-approved charger designated for this model to ensure
reliable performance. Failure to do so voids any warranty.
Tampering with the battery pack voids any warranty.
Ensure proper orientation of charging cable before plugging it into the
charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short circuit the battery
and voids any warranty.
Short-circuiting the battery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
