    Replace the nozzle when it wears to the next larger size (at this time the Venturi effect of the nozzle is inefficient). Check the urethane gasket in the pull-up closure when the air leaks excessively from the opening (make sure the gasket is free from media). Note: Replace with genuine ALC parts – do not substitute.
