Troubleshooting
Syringe is difficult to pull or push
Ensure the shut-off valve is open. Check the plunger and cylinder for debris or obstructions. Clean and lubricate the plunger if necessary.
Fluid is leaking from the connection
Verify that the correct adapter and hose are securely attached. Ensure the O-rings on the connectors are properly seated and not damaged. Tighten connections firmly but avoid over-tightening.
Syringe not drawing fluid effectively
Ensure the intake end of the hose is fully submerged in the fluid. Check for any air leaks along the hose or at the connection point. Make sure the shut-off valve is fully open.
Difficulty attaching or detaching connectors
Ensure the quick-release mechanism is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the connector O-rings if they appear stiff.
