APPLICABLE TO ALL MODELS
1) Charging the Battery Pack
Prior to first use the battery pack should be fully charged, ideally overnight.
The Sidekick series pumps must only be charged using the correct SKC chargers (Part Nos. 223-203A - single
charger, 223-103A - five station charger).
The charger is supplied with mains input plugs suitable for use in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia / New
Zealand. Select the correct mains input plug and fit it to the charger.
Plug the charger output jack plug into the mating socket at the rear of the battery pack. Plug the charger into
the electrical mains supply and switch on the power. The LED indicator on the charger will illuminate to indicate
that the charger is charging at full rate.
After 16 hours the charger will automatically switch to trickle charge, identified by the LED indicator on the
charger flashing on and off.
When fully charged disconnect the charger jack plug from the battery pack.
2) Accessing the Controls
The controls of the Sidekick series pumps are located under the clear plastic snap-down cover (No 13). This
cover is intentionally ‘stiff’ to open thus preventing accidental operation of the controls.
3) On/Off Switch (No. 2)
Press the on/off switch down to the ON position and the pump will start to run. At the end of the sample
period press the on/off switch again to the OFF position to stop the pump.
