Tyco kENDALL KANGAROO ePump - Battery Setup and Pole Clamp

ENG9
Section V — Operating Procedures
The information provided in this section is limited to basic set-up and function and does not describe all capabilities of the KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump. For a detailed
operating procedure, please refer to your KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump Operation and Service Manual.
Initial Setup
Attaching the A/C Adapter Power Cord
Plug the Power Cord into the A/C Adapter Port on the back of the pump. See Figure 1A to locate port on pump. Make note of the location of the pins and tab on the plug to properly
orient the plug
The connector, which attaches to the back of the pump, has a spring-loaded locking sleeve that locks into the pump, thus helping to prevent the connector from being accidentally
unplugged from the pump. To remove the connector, grasp the outer sliding sleeve member and pull. Do not detach the connector by pulling on the cord only.
(A cord extension accessory is available that will allow the wall plug to be separated from the power transformer, see Fig. 2B. The cord extension order number is located in Section
XII - Assembly Diagrams and Reorder Numbers.)
Battery Setup
The battery pack is fully charged before shipping, and is left unconnected to optimally preserve
battery life.
WARNING: The battery should be connected before using the pump.
It is also recommended that the battery charge be “topped o” before battery-only operation is
utilized. The battery pack will charge continuously whenever the pump is plugged into a wall
outlet, including during normal use of the pump with A/C power. Eight hours of charging is
required to fully recharge the battery pack.
A new battery pack will provide approximately 15 hours of service before needing to be recharged.
Attaching Pole Clamp
The KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump can be attached to a vertical pole using the Pole
Clamp, included with the pump. The pole clamp provides the ability to retain the power cord
to prevent accidental cord removal or cord loss. Simply place the power cord into the U-shaped
groove located on the back of the pole clamp as shown in Fig. 3 and attach the pole clamp to the
KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump. Be sure not to pinch the power cord or damage the cord
insulation when installing.
To attach the Pole Clamp to the KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump, align the hole on
the Pole Clamp with the mounting hole on the back of the pump. Use a 3/8” - 16 bolt to fasten
together, as shown in Figure 3.
