In case of the Toucan Regular, the vacuum bag is placed upright on the platform. The height of this
platform should be adjusted in such a manner that the seal seam comes into the correct position in
relation to the vacuum bag.
The Toucan Square is equipped with a mould for block bags. Only bags designed for this mould
can be used in this mould.
In case of a Toucan Square it is best to first place a vacuum bag in the mould before filling it.
Make sure the bag is properly filled.
