CAUTION
:
• Never put water оn the vacuum cups when the weather temperature could go below 0 Celsius!
• ln low temperatures, the rubber vacuum pads may become stiffer. When removing your rack,

6. Regular Checking and Pump Maintenance
Кеер the vacuum cups clean, and always s tore them with the protective green covers. lf you
observe any dirt on the vacuum pad, please remove it with soapy water and the soft TreeFrog rag.
Please check all the screws and hardware regularly to make sure they haven' t
соmе loose
during previous use.
Tighten the housing to the vacuum pad, and screws and bolts if necessary.
Regardless of how many times the rack has been used, you must perform maintenance on the
vacuum pumps if one of the pump's white safety bands appear less than 3 hours after the vacuum cup
has been mounted and pumped to full strength. We also recommend, after the rack not has been used
for
а long period of time, or before the ski season starts, and you would like to use the rack regularly
again, please test the rack
оn your car and check how long the vacuum pumps hold а seal before the
white safety band appears. Before ski season start is the best time to perform maintenance and get
your rack ready for the season!
То perform maintenance on the pump, simply grab the pump 's white indicator and pull the
plunger straight out from the cylinder. Clean the cylinder inside with
а slightly wet paper towel. After
you have cleaned the cylinder inside, please wipe it with
а dry paper towel. Next, clean the head of the
plunger and the rubber O-ring. You must re-lube the rubber O-ring with
а thin layer of silicone gel that
came with the rack, and push the plunger back to the cylinder.
After you have finished these maintenance steps, the pump should move back and forth freely
and smoothly. Please test all the rack's vacuum cups b
у placing them on your саг or any glass surface
for the next 20-24 hours. lf the white safety band does not appear, you these maintenance steps, may
use your rack. lf the white safety band appears, please repeat the maintenance steps until the pump
performs well.
