How to Assemble an Evenflo Breast Pump

There are a number of different types and styles of Evenflo breast pumps, but most of them use a number of basic parts that must be assembled in order to make them work properly. To work, an Evenflo breast pump must be able to create a seal around the breast in order to be able to create suction. All of the assembled parts are necessary for creating that suction.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Attach the breast shield to the T-shaped plastic tube that will connect the breast shield, the bottle and the pump motor. On most models, the breast shield, the large, cone-shaped portion that fits over the breast, will screw into the tubing. If the hold the tubing so that it has an opening at both ends, the opening in the middle is the one where the breast shield is attached.

2. Put the small, rubber flab on the valve. The valve is the small, colored piece of plastic that fits onto the bottom part of the tubing. The rubber flap has a small notch in the back that fits into a hole on the valve. On most Evenflo breast pumps, the valve is either yellow or blue to coordinate with the motor casing.

3. Screw the valve onto the bottom of the clear tubing. Make sure that the valve and the rubber flap fit securely so that the right suction can be maintained.

4. Fit the motor onto the top of the tubing. The motor is houses in the colored plastic top of the breast pump. There will be an opening on the underside of it where you screw in the top part of the tube.

5. Put the baby bottle over the valve and screw it into the bottom part of the tubing. The valve will be inside the bottle.
