TROUBLESHOOTING
TIPS - Below is a list of troubleshooting tips.
Troubleshooting the Purely Yours Pump
Problem: Interruption of Electrical Service
Solution: Unplug the AC adapter cord from the electrical outlet, wait
a few seconds, then plug the AC adapter cord back into the electrical
outlet.
Problem:
Decreased Suction
Solution: Remove the tubing and white connector from the side of the
pump and place a finger over the pump outlet. If you feel suction, the
pump is operating properly, but the collection kit may not be correctly
assembled or the white valve may be damaged. If no suction is felt on
your finger, try unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet,
wait a few seconds, and plug it back into the electrical outlet.
Solution 2: Make sure the collection kit is properly assembled.
Solution 3: Inspect the white valve for a tear or pinhole. This component
is critical to achieving proper suction. Replace the white valve with
one of the spare valves provided with the product.
Solution 4: Check the tubing adapter on the side of the pump to make
sure it is closed when single pumping. If open, close the adapter.
Troubleshooting the One-Hand Pump
Problem: Milk does not drip into the collection bottle.
Solution: Release the handle and the milk will begin to drip into the
bottle.
Problem:
Milk flow is too rapid for the pump to handle.
Solution: Release the handle a few extra times.
Problem:
The pump does not seem to have enough suction.
Solution: Check the white valve. If it has a tear or hole, it needs
to be replaced. Contact your local Ameda retailer to purchase additional
spare valves (part #402326).
Problem:
Suction has diminished.
Solution: Remove the piston seal and stretch the outer lip using fingers
and thumbs, or place the seal open side down on a flat surface and push
down on it. Repeat twice. Reassemble the pump. Suction should be restored
and you can continue pumping.
