KEY COMPONENTS Output Hose Bottle Adapter EN (1) Figure 2-1 Figure 2-2 Prefilter The modular prefilter (Figure 1-2) is effective in still and running water. It consists of two components: a strainer and a weight. The prefilter is important because it prevents large particles (larger than 130 microns) from entering the water system. See Field Performance Tips for helpful hints.
NORMAL OPERATION 1. Place input hose in untreated water source. Adjust the float to keep prefilter off the bottom and away from sediment. 2. Insert the EasyFill Bottle Adaptor into a clean water container or connect hydration conector to bladder*. (Figure 2-1, 2-2) 3. Make sure the hoses are not kinked. Begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady manner. Approximately 48 strokes per minute equals 1 liter of water. 4.
For use without the weight. The prefilter is functional with or without the weight (we recommend using with the weight). To use without the weight, remove the strainer barb from the input hose. Re-assemble without the weight. 4. Storage: Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, remove the output hose and EasyFill Bottle Adaptor and store separately in a re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
HIKER PRO REMOVABLE FILTER PROTECTOR The Filter Protector is a cleanable screen that covers the Hiker Pro cartridge. The Hiker Pro does not require frequent cleaning, however using the Filter Protector will extend the life of your cartridge. It may be used continually or when source water contains suspended particulate or dirt. Cleaning Filter Protector If your Hiker Pro becomes difficult to pump, clean the Filter Protector. To clean, carefully remove the netting and Filter Protector from cartridge.
2. Attach white quick connect insert (B) to the "short" section of hose. Attach white quick connect body (A) to the "long" section of the cut hose. Connect them together. (Figure 3-1) 3. If a direct connect to hydration bladder is desired, install the second white connector (C) to the end of the output hose. This will match with many popular hydration systems.
