Choose from two capacities of internal battery - 3.2Ah (Part No. P901201), for
applications where a lightweight pump is desirable, or 7Ah (Part No. P901202), where
longer run times or multiple samples on a single charge are required.
The SKC lead/acid battery charger (Part No. 901-210), provides optimum charging in the
minimum possible time. The charger automatically detects when the battery is fully charged
and switches to a trickle charging rate to prevent over-charging. Typical charging times for a
fully discharged battery are 5 hours for 3.2Ah battery and 10 hours for 7Ah battery.
The pump can be powered by a mains adaptor (Part No. 901-211) suitable for 100-240V
~ 50/60Hz mains supplies, or by an external high capacity 12V lead/acid battery (such
as Part No. P901107 - 12Ah) using an external battery hookup cable (Part No. 901-212).
Fault shutdown with indication on LCD screen, plus run time display retention, if flow is
restricted.
Low battery shutdown with indication on LCD screen, plus run time display retention, in
the event of a low battery condition.

General Information
1) Care of the Flite 2 Pump
• The Flite 2 pump is supplied complete with a rubber dust cap for the inlet hosetail and a screw-in dust
cap for the charging/power socket. Please ensure that these are fitted at all times when the pump is not
in use or being charged.
• Never run the Flite 2 pump without a filter in line, to prevent dust from contaminating the pump mechanism.
• Always use the correct SKC batteries and battery charger designated for the Flite 2 pump.
• The Flite 2 pump casing is IP20 rated, it is not rated as water or splashproof and therefore must not be
used where it is possible for water to enter the pump casing.
Warning - Failure to follow these guidelines will void the product warranty.
2) The WEEE Directive
This product is marked with the crossed out wheelie bin symbol, which identifies that it falls within the
scope of the EC Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). At the
end of it’s useful life, this product must be disposed of in an environmentally sound way as detailed in
the Directive. Please contact your local distributor or SKC Ltd for further details on how to comply with
the requirements of the WEEE Directive. SKC Ltd’s producer registration number is WEE/KH0054TQ.
3) The Batteries Directive
The lead/acid batteries supplied for use with this pump, fall within the scope of the EC Directive 2006/66/EC
on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. At the end of a battery’s life it must be
disposed of in an environmentally sound way as detailed in the Directive. Please contact your local distributor or
SKC Ltd for further details on how to comply with the requirements of the Batteries Directive. SKC Ltd’s batteries
producer registration number is BPRN00454.

Getting Started
1) Fitting the Battery
The Flite 2 pump is supplied without a battery. Refer to the instructions supplied with each battery for details
of how to fit it into the pump casing.
Note - The toolkit (Part No. P901203) supplied with the pump is required to fit the battery.
2) Charging the Battery
Prior to first use the battery should be fully charged, ideally overnight.
The Flite 2 pump must only be charged using the correct SKC charger (Part No. 901-210).
The charger is supplied with mains input plugs suitable for use in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia/New
Zealand. Select the correct mains input plug and fit it to the charger.
Unscrew the dust cap from the charging/power socket on the pump and connect the output connector from
the charger to the pump socket. Screw the charging connector into the socket to prevent it from coming
loose during charging.
Plug the charger into the electrical mains supply and switch on the power. The LED indicator on the charger
will illuminate amber to indicate that the charger is charging at full rate.
Leave the pump to charge fully. For a fully depleted battery this will take approximately 5 hours for the
P901201 3.2Ah battery and approximately 10 hours for the P901202 7Ah battery. When the battery is fully
charged the LED indicator on the charger will illuminate green to indicate that the charger has switched to
trickle charge.
When fully charged, switch off the mains power to the charger and disconnect the charger output connector
from the pump. Always fit the screw-in dust cap to the charging/power socket on the pump after charging.

Battery Care
The Flite 2 pump utilises sealed, valve regulated, lead/acid batteries. This type of battery requires no
maintenance and when used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions should give a life of approximately
400 charge/discharge cycles (based on 50% depth of discharge). Battery life is affected by a number of
factors, but the most significant of these are overcharging and the depth of discharge in use.
Overcharging of the battery causes overheating and off-gassing of the battery electrolyte which will lead to
loss of capacity and reduced service life. The Flite 2 charger (part no. 901-210) is an intelligent charger which
automatically detects when the battery is fully charged and switches to a trickle charging rate to prevent
overcharging. Always use the correct charger.
A deeper discharge of the battery prior to charging will result in a shorter battery life. This can be as low as
200 charge/discharge cycles if the battery is fully discharged every time prior to charging. If the intended pump
usage pattern would fully discharge a P901201 3.2Ah battery between charges, it may be advisable to select
the larger P901202 7Ah battery, which for the same usage pattern could have a life of up to 500 charge/
discharge cycles.
Long term storage - If the pump is to remain unused for a long period of time, SKC recommends that the
battery be fully charged prior to storage, and a top up charge be carried out at 6 monthly intervals, or if stored
at a temperature in excess of 30°C, at 3 monthly intervals. Failure to do so could lead to significant reduction in
battery capacity and service life, and in extreme cases can prevent the battery from accepting a charge entirely.
Note that the pump should either be put into ‘Sleep’ mode during long term storage, or ideally the battery
wires disconnected from the battery terminals (these would need to be reconnected during top up charging).
Battery Disposal - The EC Battery Directive requires that all lead/acid batteries are disposed of correctly at
the end of their working life. This means that they must be collected and treated separately from other waste
to ensure that the harmful lead they contain does not enter the environment via landfill sites. Please ensure that
any end-of-life SKC batteries are collected and treated correctly.
