Verify Cup Lid is tight. An under 

tightened Cup Lid will allow air to 

seep into the FlexLiner and 

cause a loss of prime. Add Seal 

Lube (included) to the Cup Lid 

gasket to ensure an airtight seal.

Make certain there is only one 

FlexLiner in the Cup Support.

Make certain there is no damage 

to or debris on the top sealing 

edge of the FlexLiner or Cup Lid 

gasket.

Make certain the Cup Lid is 

properly threaded to the Cup 

Support. There should be no 

threads visible when tight.

Avoid flexing or pushing on the 

Cup Support when you evacuate 

the air out of the FlexLiner.

Avoid pulling down on the 

FlexLiner when you evacuate the 

air out of the FlexLiner.

Replace FlexLiner.
