Hi everyone

can anyone help this should have been my first day out today with wfp, ive got a shurflo backpack on the first house after a few seconds it keeps cutting out.  The battery has had plenty of charge ive done everything by the instructions ,or could it just have a fault 

I've also had to let Gaza down as i was supposed to give him a hand with the backpack this afternoon after the fire in his van destroyed some of his equipment.

Do you guys do the 1 minute on and 1 minute off all day with your backpack?

It never rains but it pours

regards

Brett

I have the cleantech backpack and I had a similar problem, I found that the inlet valve inside the backpack had come loose and water was going into the battery compartment and shorting the battery.

Check the battery to see if it wet, if so just tighten the valve.

No Brett.  I actually asked the supplier about this and he said it was just a description of what would be classed as 'normal use' to describe how long the battery lasts.

I've had mine for a week now, and it gets a hammering each day; no problems with the battery; hasn't ran out on me at all.

Also, try running it briefly with no water in first.  If it runs, do as Williamx suggests.  It's only a pump and a battery; so it shouldn't be to complicated.

Hi guys

William x , Tosh and Malc[G]old

Ive had that backpack apart tonight think i might have sorted it , when i bought the backpack i bought a brand new 2 pin plug for the charger as a last resort i went and got another 2 pin plug, looks like the first one was knackered after all.  Plug being new never thought to check it 

I have put it on charge now fingers crossed i should be out at work tomorrow

Tosh's first day seemed to go so well i thought mine was going to be the same 

thanks guys , im sure i'll be in touch with more wfp problems

Brett.
