Suction Cups/Clamps

  1. Clean and rinse all suction cups/clamps daily.
  2. Store suction cups on their sides (do not store them on their seals).
  3. Disconnect and reconnect the tubing at least once a week to exercise the fittings and clear out any debris in the fitting.
  4. Disconnect and cut ends of tubing every so often to remove worn-out/damaged ends for better sealing.
  5. Typically, top seals should be replaced every 6-18 months (depending on use).
  6. Typically, bottom seals should be replaced every 12-24 months (depending on use).
  7. Lubricate mechanical and pneumatic clamps parts as needed (We use and recommend Magnalube-G).
