Recommended Maintenance
Suction Cups/Clamps
- Clean and rinse all suction cups/clamps daily.
- Store suction cups on their sides (do not store them on their seals).
- Disconnect and reconnect tubing at least once a week to exercise the fittings and clear out any debris in the fitting.
- Disconnect and cut ends of tubing every so often to remove worn out/damaged ends for better sealing.
- Typically, top seals should be replaced every 6-18 months (depending on use).
- Typically, bottom seals should be replaced every 12-24 months (depending on use).
- Lubricate mechanical and pneumatic clamps parts as needed (We use and recommend Magnalube-G).
Manifolds
- Exercise all valves/fittings daily.
- Thoroughly rinse and blow out manifolds/fittings weekly.
- Disconnect and cut ends of tubing every so often to remove worn out/damaged ends for better sealing.
- Help prevent leaks in your vacuum system by replacing valves and fittings whenever needed.
NOTE: We carry a full line of fittings and replacement manifolds for all machines.
