If the lid on your Buffalo vac packer is taking an age to lift or feels a bit lazy, this up-down piston is almost certainly what you need. It's a common wear-and-tear item, but thankfully, it's a doddle to replace. Swapping it out should get your machine back to its snappy, efficient self in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect the machine from the power supply first.
- Ensure the housing is clean before fitting the new piston.
- Test the lid's up-down motion after installation.
- Regularly check moving parts for signs of wear.
