Loss of Vacuum 

This can be caused by several problems. Check the 
following items in order listed. 

1)  Verify that vacuum pump is running. 

2)  Examine the rubber blanket for holes or cuts. 

3)  Check that the holes in the back left screen stop 

is not blocked. Turn on the pump and verify that 
there is vacuum through the left stop. 

4)  Check that the clear tube protruding through left 

side of cabinet wall is unobstructed. This is the 
vacuum pump exhaust. 

5)  Verify that the back glass seal is not damaged. 

If it is not try tightening the front cams just 
slightly. If this does not work, pull the glass away 
and inspect the seal, then reseat the glass 
squarely against the back seal and retighten the 
front cams. 

6) 

There is a foam seal around the perimeter of the 
lid between the rubber blanket and lid frame. 
With the lid locked down, check that the lid seal 
and blanket is contacting the glass at all four 
sides. If this seal is not contacting the glass it 
will be necessary to adjust the lid lower. 

Proceed as follows (pictures below for 
reference) . 

a)  Remove both Lid Lifting Cylinders from their 

upper mounting stud. Carefully lower the lid. 

b) 

Rear Seal Adjustment

Start with the lid 

down and locked. 

Using a 7/16" wrench, 

loosen the four (4) bolts along the side of one 
corner, just 1/8 turn each bolt.  Using a piece 
of wood and a hammer, tap lightly at the top 
corner to compress the rear seal. Measure 
the distance before and after, do not adjust 
more than 1/16 of and inch. Do this to both 
sides until vacuum seal is achieved. 

c) 

Front Lid Adjustment. 

Using  a 9/16 wrench, 

loosen (2) bolts at each front corner about 1/8 
of a turn. Using a piece of wood and a 
hammer, tap on the top bolt head slightly to 
move the bearing down. Be careful to avoid 
moving it too much. For reference, measure 
from the top of the bearing to the bottom of 
the lid when closed, do not adjust more than 
1/16 of an inch. Retighten all fasteners. 

7)  Contact Vastex for technical support if these 

steps fail to resolve the problem.
