Katadyn Survivor 35 Mode D'emploi page 4

1. Uncoil intake/discharge hoses. Drop the hoses and attached strainer into the seawater. Be sure
strainer is fully submerged.
2. Place desalinator across your lap. Place one hand on handle grip and the other on the mem-
brane housing as shown. (Figure 1-1)
3. Pump handle up and down as far as it will go in each direction, at a comfortable rate of speed
(about 2 seconds per up/down stroke). After you pump for 1-2 minutes, the pressure indicat-
ing rod will extend itself revealing an orange band. Continue pumping so the orange band
remains visible. If water sprays from the indicator, pump slower. If orange band is not visible,
pump faster.
4. Once water drips from the freshwater hose, pump at least 60 strokes (two minutes) while
dumping the water overboard. This will clear the system of the membrane preservative solution
and salt that passes through the membrane when not in use. Then insert the freshwater hose
into a storage container, or directly into your mouth.
IMPORTANT: At initial start-up of a new unit, or of an unit that has been inhibited (filled
with preservative storage solution to inhibit biological growth), dump the freshwater output for
at least 60 strokes to clear the membrane preservative solution from the system.
5. Continue pumping until you get the desired amount of water.
To get more water if you stop pumping temporarily, repeat the above procedure.
