Press the vacuum pump start button.

The vacuum indicator should run into the red zone
(60% and 80% vacuum). If not, this means air is
getting in somewhere, either through the desoldering
tip, the tank stopper, or the pump inlet filter stopper,
or because the air pump does not function correctly
due to dirty valves which occurs when the air filter
has not been used correctly.

JBC reserves the right to change specifications mentioned

The suction indicator should
not go beyond the green
zone. If it runs into  the red
zone, this will mean that the
suction circuit is obstructed
in some way and the tip
needs unclogging or the
filters replacing.

circuit:

-

Obstruct the tip inlet orifice
by pressing down on a
silicone disc, or bend the
