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 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.
