Maintenance

The Pack-

Vac™ requires little maintenance. The following guidelines will ensure years of service from

your Pack-

Vac™

7.1

Cleaning

The Pack-

Vac™ tank should be cleaned on a regular basis with mild soap and water to remove mineral

deposits before they degrade the clarity of the plastic. Using water with lower mineral content will delay
mineral build-up. Commercially available plastic polishers and cleaners by Novus can be used. Availa-
ble from www.mcmaster.com

7.2

Gasket installation

Remove old gasket.

The lip of the gasket faces out!

Start at the back center and press the ends together into the groove.

Next, press each corner into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket.
