Manual Breast Pump - Quick Reference Guide (Continued)
Using the Manual Pump:
1. Hold the Manual Breast Pump to your breast so that your
nipple is centered inside the Breastshield. Then squeeze the
handle toward the bottle to test the suction.
Note: If an adjustment is necessary, turn the round knob of the
Adjusting Valve until the suction is comfortable.
2. You can adjust the suction level by turning the round knob on
the top of the Adjusting Valve Stem. Turn clockwise to increase
the suction and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Note: Do not over-turn the Adjusting Valve, as it will cause the
Adjusting Valve to bulge and leak air, creating a suction
problem. Make sure the gap opening on top of the Adjusting
Valve is lined up properly on the top of the Valve Stem so the
Adjusting Valve turns smoothly. If necessary, re-adjust the
Adjusting Valve by turning back and forth a few times.
Note: There are two recesses for attaching the handle to the Manual Pump. You can toggle between these two settings by pushing
the Adjusting Valve Stem away from the “U” shape tip of the Handle to dislocate the connection. Reattach the tip of the Handle using a
different recess on the Adjusting Valve Stem.
