3. Monitor the charger's indicator light. It will typically change color or blink to indicate charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
4. Once fully charged, remove the battery pack from the charger. Unplug the charger from the outlet.

Note: For optimal battery life, fully charge the battery before first use.

4.2 Attaching the Battery to the Pump

1. Align the battery pack with the battery port on the vacuum pump.
2. Slide the battery pack firmly into the port until it locks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
3. To remove the battery, press the release button(s) on the battery pack and slide it out.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Connecting to the System

1. Ensure the system you intend to evacuate is properly sealed and all valves are closed.
2. Connect a suitable vacuum hose from the system's service port to the inlet port of the Mellif vacuum pump. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
3. It is recommended to use a vacuum gauge or manifold set to monitor the vacuum level during operation.

5.2 Starting and Stopping the Pump

1. With the battery attached and connections secured, press the power button on the vacuum pump to start operation.
2. Allow the pump to run until the desired vacuum level is achieved, as indicated by your vacuum gauge. The 2.5CFM pump is designed for efficient evacuation.
3. Once the desired vacuum is reached, close the service valve on the system first, then press the power button to turn off the pump.
4. Carefully disconnect the vacuum hose from the pump and the system.

Caution: Do not run the pump for extended periods without evacuating a system, as this can lead to unnecessary wear.

5.3 Best Practices for Evacuation

• Ensure the system is free of liquid contaminants before starting evacuation.
• Monitor the vacuum level and pump performance throughout the process.
