NORMAL OPERATION
1. Place input hose in untreated water source. Adjust the float to keep prefilter off the bottom
and away from sediment.
2. Insert the EasyFill Bottle Adaptor into a clean water container or connect hydration conec-
tor to bladder*. (Figure 2-1, 2-2)
3. Make sure the hoses are not kinked. Begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady manner.
Approximately 48 strokes per minute equals 1 liter of water.
4. After filling water container with filtered water, remove bottle adaptor/hydration connector
from container/bladder and prefilter from water source. Continue pumping to remove
remaining water from pump body.
5. Store unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, remove the out-
put hose and EasyFill Bottle Adaptor and store separately in the re-sealable bag inside the
carry bag.
*Note: Before each use, flush and discard a small amount (5 – 10 strokes) of water to remove
stale taste.
FIELD PERFORMANCE TIPS
The Katadyn Hiker Pro is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts such as Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. To extend cartridge life, always use the best water source available. Keep the
intake prefilter clean and off the bottom. In heavy sediment conditions, wrap a coffee filter or ban-
danna around the intake prefilter. Where possible, place untreated water in container and wait
for sediment to settle out until water appears clear - then filter from water above the sediment.
Maintain your Katadyn water system to keep it operating smoothly.
1. If handle is hard to push: 
Lubricate pump handle o-ring. Silicone lubricant is provided with your new unit. Remove
handle collar and handle. (Figure 1-1) Clean excess build-up from black rubber
o-ring on bottom of handle. Place a small amount of silicone lubricant all the way around
the o-ring. Re-assemble.
Clogged cartridge. A clogged cartridge requires replacement. As a temporary solution in
the field, remove the cartridge and swish it around in water. See also Hiker Pro removable
Filter Protector. Take care that untreated water does not contact the cartridge output barb. If
flow is not restored, replace cartridge. See Cartridge Installation for cartridge removal.
2. If unit pumps easily, but no water flow:
Make sure prefilter is submerged.
Make sure that hoses are not blocked or pinched.
Clean check valve. Occasionally, sediment may enter pump body and prevent check valve
from operating properly. This may cause lack of water draw. The check valve can
easily be cleaned to restore maximum water output. Remove the cartridge. Fill the pump
housing half way with water, swirl around and discard water. Fill the housing half way with
water again and reinstall cartridge. Pump slowly to get water started and resume normal
pump rate when flow has begun.
3. Prefilter: Rinse the prefilter in water to remove any particles that may be caught in the
strainer. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the prefilter from the input hose and clean
with water and a soft brush. Reassemble. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the
strainer barb to ease assembly. (Figure 1-2)
