Maintenance

Replacing the battery
The XL pump has been specifically designed to make replacing the battery a quick and easy task. Simply undo the two screws on the front of the battery housing, pull off the terminal connectors, remove the battery, and replace.

NOTE: This process is made easier if the pump is lying on its back.
IMPORTANT: The terminals on the battery are color-coded red and black to match the red and black wires of the unit. When fitting a new battery make sure that these match up correctly.

Replacing the mast
The mast is secured on the unit in a threaded housing, so to replace just unscrew and remove it. We would also recommend removing the mast when cleaning the unit (3.3).

Cleaning the unit
The casing of the XL pump is made from a hard-wearing ABS structural foam, making it incredibly rugged and also very easy to clean. Tested to IP65 standards (‘Protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.’) the unit can be cleaned under a shower hose.

NOTE: Do NOT Submerge the product fully in water.
