2) Care of Pocket Pump MTX Series Pumps
• Always use the correct SKC battery pack and battery chargers designated for the Pocket Pump MTX series
pumps.
• Never run the pump long term without a tube or filter medium in place.
• When carrying out sampling using long term colour change tubes always use a tandem tube holder with trap tube
(Part No. 222-3D-2 and cover 224-29T). This will prevent the aggressive fumes generated by these tubes from
entering and damaging the pump mechanism.
• The Pocket Pump MTX series pump cases are IP20 rated, they are not rated as water or splashproof and
therefore must not be used where it is possible for water to enter the pump casing.
• Pocket Pump MTX series pumps are fitted with a particulate filter which is easy to replace. For general maintenance
replace the filter every 2-3 months or if it appears dirty. New filters are white in colour (order Part No. P40010).
• If the sampling methodology to be used requires the collection of the sample from the outlet of the pump (210-
1003MTX twin port model only), i.e. the sample is passing through the pump mechanism, ensure that the sample
air is dry and does not contain corrosive constituents. Failure to do so could lead to contamination of the pump
mechanism, degradation of performance or even failure of the pump.
Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.
