Figure 3d  Cleaning the pad

  1  Valve

  2  Pad

Slightly pull the valve (1) until the bleed position is reached. So it is possible to move the pad manually.
Slide the pad (2) to a position where the underside of the pad is easily accessible.
Clean the underside of the pad. 

 

Remove particles with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

 

Remove label fragments and traces of adhesive with alcohol if necessary.
The suction holes on the underside of the pad must be free.
Perform a visual check of the pad (2) and the slide foil on the underside of the pad. If the slide foil is damaged, 

it must be replaced.

NOTICE! 
Slide the valve (1) back to the operate position!
