Section IV — Initial Setup
Attaching the A/C Power Adapter
Plug the A/C Power Adapter (Part Number 382491) into the A/C adapter port
on the back of the pump. See Figure 1A to locate port on pump. Make note of
the location of the pins and tab on the plug to properly orient the plug.
The connector, which attaches to the back of the pump, has a spring-loaded
locking sleeve that locks into the pump, thus helping to prevent the connector
from being accidentally unplugged from the pump. To remove the connector,
grasp the outer sliding sleeve member and pull. Do not detach the connector
by pulling on the cord only.
Battery Setup
The battery pack is fully charged before shipping, and is left unconnected to optimally preserve battery life.
Warning: The battery should be connected before using the pump.
It is also recommended that the battery charge be "topped off" before battery-only operation is utilized. The battery pack will charge
continuously whenever the pump is plugged into a wall outlet, including during normal use of the pump with A/C power. Eight
hours of charging is required to fully recharge the battery pack.
A new battery pack will provide approximately 15 hours of service before needing to be recharged.
Attaching Pole Clamp
The Kangaroo™ ePump™ enteral feed and flush pump can be
attached to a vertical pole using the pole clamp, included with
the pump. The pole clamp provides the ability to retain the
power cord to prevent accidental cord removal or cord loss.
Simply place the A/C adapter power cord into the U-shaped
groove located on the back of the pole clamp as shown in
Figure 3 and attach the pole clamp to the Kangaroo™ ePump™
enteral feed and flush pump. Be sure not to pinch the cord of
the A/C power adapter or damage the cord insulation when
installing.
To attach the pole clamp to the Kangaroo™ ePump™ enteral
feed and flush pump, align the hole on the pole clamp with the
mounting hole on the back of the pump. Use a 3/8" - 16 bolt to
fasten together, as shown in Figure 3
If cord restraint is preferred but use of the pole clamp is not
desired, a cord restraint clip is provided with the Kangaroo™
ePump™ enteral feed and flush pump. Using the pole clamp
mounting bolt, follow the pole clamp assembly instruction to
attach the cord clip (Refer to Fig. 3).
