Replace the Seal Pad
Inspect the pad for roughness. Replace if areas of the pad are rough.
Tools Needed:
• Replacement seal pad
• Scissors
1. Remove the worn pad from the holder.
2. Cut a new piece of seal pad the same length as the old one. A pad
that is too short or too long will cause sealing problems.

Replace the Lid Gasket
The lid gasket ensures the vacuum chamber is completely sealed
during the packing cycle. This is essential to achieve maximum
vacuum. The lid gasket wears due to the extreme pressure differences
and must be replaced regularly.
Tools Needed:
• Replacement gasket
• Scissors
1. Remove the worn gasket.
2. Cut a new piece of gasket slightly longer than the old one. Position
the new gasket so the lip faces downward and outward.
3. Press the gasket into the slot evenly.
4. Trim the gasket so the ends come tightly together to prevent
leakage. The ends must be cut off straight. If the lid gasket is too
short or too long, it can cause problems when closing the lid or
leakage may occur.
