Troubleshooting
If milk accidentally gets into the tubing/motor, immediately
follow these steps:
1 1
Remove tubing from the motor. Wipe
milk off the motor with a paper towel
or tissue. Run motor for at least 30
seconds to clear out any milk that
remains inside.
2 2
Take special care to clean the
vacuum ports in the front sides of
the motor.
Start by removing the covers; turning
in the direction of the arrow (counter
clockwise) and pull out.
3 3
Remove the gasket(s). Wash
gasket(s), tubing* and cover(s) with
warm soapy water. Rinse in clear
water and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Only the side with potential
overflow needs to be cleaned.
4 4
Wipe the area on the motor unit
under the gasket and on the bottom
around the vent hole.
Replace the dried gasket(s),
tubing* and cover(s).
Put the tubing back on the breast
shield and resume pumping. When
pumping is completed, repeat
these steps.

If There Is No Vacuum
If you do not feel any vacuum at the breast or if the pumping
action is too weak:
•
Check that the breastshield forms a complete seal
around the breast.
•
Check to see that the membrane is securely attached to
the valve on the underside of the breastshield. Ensure that
membrane is clean and that the flap is moveable and not
dried onto the valve head.
•
For single pumping, check whether the second connection
on the pump has been closed.
•
Check that the gaskets are clean and dry.
•
Check with fresh batteries or electrical if not powering unit
with batteries.
•
Check that the connector tube is firmly plugged into the
breastshield.
* See page 4, "#3 Air-Dry" for further information on drying tubing.
