Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Ridgemonkey Outdoor Power Shower:
- Prepare the Water Container: Ensure your heavy-duty water container is clean and filled with water. The system is safe to use with both cold and hot water, ranging from 10°C to 50°C (50°F to 122°F).
- Attach the Pump Unit: Remove the standard cap from your water container. Securely screw on the shower unit cap, which integrates the pump and hose connection.
- Connect Power: Connect the 12V power cable to the shower unit. The system requires a constant 12V 2A power supply. This can be provided by a generator set, a leisure battery, or a car's 12V socket.
- Position the Shower Head: Use the included suction cup and hook to hang the shower head. It can be attached to any flat surface, allowing you to position it overhead for showering or to direct the flow for washing items like pots, muddy boots, or pets.

Operating Instructions
Once set up, operating the Ridgemonkey Outdoor Power Shower is straightforward:
- Initiate Water Flow: Ensure the pump unit is submerged in water within the container. Activate the power supply to begin the water flow. The shower provides a powerful flow rate of 4.5 litres per minute.
- Control Water Flow: To temporarily stop the water flow, simply tilt the shower head. This feature allows for water conservation without needing to turn off the main power supply.
- Temperature Range: The shower is designed to handle water temperatures between 10°C and 50°C (50°F to 122°F). Do not exceed these temperatures to prevent damage to the unit.
- Versatile Use: Beyond personal hygiene, the shower can be used for various cleaning tasks, such as rinsing off gear, washing pets, or cleaning vehicles.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your power shower:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially with non-potable water, rinse the pump and shower head with clean water to prevent mineral buildup or blockages.
- Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose is not kinked during storage.
- Container Care: The water container can be used with its conventional cover and built-in faucet when the shower unit is not in use, turning it into a standard sealed unit.
