How to use Kangaroo ePump Enteral Feed and Flush Pump?

• Plug the A/C Power Adapter into the A/C adapter port on the back of the 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.

• 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

• 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 and attach the pole clamp to the Kangaroo ePumpenteral 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.
• 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.
