Not that exact model but 2 of that make - great backpacks, been totally reliable, it's worth making an offer, the old flea bayers sometimes can drop 10 quid off the price

Yes the frame looks kack - we use a garden trolley to carry ours about , takes backpack and a couple of drums.

On mine it was simply a case of removing or cutting off the trigger and putting in a rectus 21 fitting

I bought one last November. It's works fine. The highest I've used it for is 3rd floor.

The wheels and handle are toilet but it's actually easier to carry it by the handle.

Anyone worked out the completely bewildering instructions as to how the straps attach?

well mine came yesterday and today my rectus 21 came so was able to fit it to the pipe and give it a whirl.
this is the best buy i have done in ages i cannot believe how powerful it relay is for such a small trolley system. ;D ;D 8)
only down side is once disconnected from the rectus 21 it does not shut the pump off so you have to turn off manually would this affect the pump with the build up of back pressure as once disconnected from the rectus it does not shut the pump off ?
Also need to get some good flexible 6mm pole hose any one have any recommendations

Any one know if the back pressure with the pump not shutting off will harm the pump ?
Cheers
