6.2. Changing the nose cone, silicone adapter and filter (Fig. 2)
To change the nose cone, silicone adapter and filter firmly hold the nose cone by the ribbed collar, rotate the nose
cone counter-clockwise until completely loosen and pull out the nose cone and the silicone adapter. The filter can
be removed by simply pulling it out once the nose cone and the silicone adapter have been disengaged. Position

cone gently clockwise.
Note: It is recommended to check and clean the silicone adapter every six months, or when necessary, to prevent a
loss of vacuum. If there is a loss of vacuum, please contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
