7. Maintenance and care

a) Manometer
In principle the manometer is maintenance-free. Dust particles in the air can
block the filter in the main body after a certain time. The bulb can be removed for
cleaning or replacement.
b) Cuff
Before cleaning the cuff, the rubber bag must be removed. Covers with velcro
fastening are to be folded before washing so that the parts of fleece and of hooks
are well attached.
