Maintenance
Pump Inlet Filter
The PCXR8 Sampler is fi tted with a fi lter/trap inside a clear plastic
intake port housing. This prevents particles from being drawn into the
pump mechanism. The fi lter should be visually checked to assure that
it does not become clogged. If maintenance is necessary, follow this
procedure:
1. Clean dust and debris from around the fi lter
housing.
2. Remove the four screws and the front fi lter
housing.
3. Remove and discard the fi lter membrane.
4. Remove O-ring.
5. Clean the fi lter housing.
6. Insert O-ring
*
and a new filter membrane.
(See Replacement Parts, pages 26-27.)
7. Reattach the front fi lter housing and cross-tighten the four screws.
* Replace with new O-ring only as needed.
Battery Pack Care
For proper maintenance of battery packs, SKC offers chargers (see Optional
Accessories, page 28) that condition the battery for optimum performance
in 6 to 8.5 hours. For optimum charge, ensure pump is not running during
charging. Follow charger instructions.
Fully charge battery packs before use. For information on SKC pump bat-
To comply with intrinsic safety regulations, do not charge or operate the pump
from the charger in hazardous locations.
Using a non-approved charger voids any warranty.
Use of a repaired or rebuilt battery pack voids any warranty and the
UL Listing for intrinsic safety.
Use of any device other than the approved battery pack to power the pump voids
the UL Listing for intrinsic safety and any warranty.
Ensure proper orientation of charge 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.
The battery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an indefi nite time.
