safety feature has acti-
vated due to the hot water
temperature.

Solution
Run COLD water through the
system for 10-30 seconds. This
will reset the temperature shut
off safety feature and allow
water to flow again.
Make sure there are no bends
in the tubing restricting the
flow of water.
Prime the actuator 25 - 50
times until water begins to
flow normally
Turn the cold water on full in
order for the suction system to
work properly (but still within
the right temperature range).
Replace the eartip with the tab
side pointing upwards.
Ensure that both tube fittings
are fit snugly into the chamber.
Check the Quick Reference
Guide to verify you are aiming
the water correctly.
Apply a new eartip with the
tab side pointing upwards.
