INSTRUCTIONS FOR PULLING A VACUUM

The following guidelines should be followed when using

BIRO

vacuum tumblers. Due to the nature

of the manufacturing processes by which these drums and lids are made, there are slight differences in the

diameter of the drum opening, and the diameter of the lid. These differences are normal, and have no

impact on the performance of your tumbler.

• Make sure that the lid gasket is sealed properly.

• Center the lid in the opening of the drum.

• Start the vacuum pump.

• Apply pressure in the center of the lid.

SEAL, LID AND DRUM ASSEMBLY

1. BE SURE SEAL IS PUSHED ON COMPLETELY

2. PUSH LID ON TO DRUM WHILE DRAWING

A VACUUM
