Vacuum System Maintenance Guide

1. Visual Inspection
Make a visual inspection of the system parts paying attention to connections, these must be air
tight to ensure integrity of the vacuum. Inspect the tubes and ensure they are firmly connected
and are not kinked or split. The socket arrangement should also be inspected to check the
integrity of the vacuum seals.
2. Check Valve
The check valve retains the vacuum created
in the socket. It must be connected with the
direction arrow pointing towards the ankle.
