How to Use the Chill-Its 5054 Hand Pump:
- Attach the hand pump to the Chill-Its 5160 Hydration Pack tubing using the quick-release connection in place of the standard mouthpiece.
- Choose the desired attachment, either the spray (mist) tip for cooling or the stream tip for drinking, rinsing or cleaning.
- Secure the selected attachment onto the top of the pump until it is firmly in place.
- Position the pump holster on your pack strap for easy access, if not already attached.
- Squeeze the hand pump to deliver water on demand. Use short presses for misting or steady presses for a stronger stream.
- Direct the output as needed for hydration, cooling PPE, rinsing gear or quick cleanup.
- After use, release pressure and ensure the pump is not actively dispensing water.
- When finished, detach the pump using the quick-release connection and store it in the holster or a clean, dry location.
How to Clean the Chill-Its 5054 Hand Pump:
- Disconnect the hand pump from the hydration pack tubing using the quick-release connection.
- Separate the top and bottom components by unscrewing the pump body for full access.
- Remove the spray or stream attachment and rinse all parts with clean water.
- Wash each component by hand using mild soap and warm water, or place dishwasher-safe parts in the dishwasher if preferred.
- Use a small brush or cloth to remove any buildup from internal surfaces and connection points.
- Rinse all parts thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains.
- Allow all components to fully air dry before reassembly.
- Reassemble the pump and store it using the attached holster or in a clean, dry location.
