diameter of the drum opening, and the diameter of the lid. These differences are normal, and have no
impact on the performance of your tumbler.
• Make sure that the lid gasket is sealed properly.
• Center the lid in the opening of the drum.
• Start the vacuum pump.
• Apply pressure in the center of the lid.
