Why is my sebra 2600 Portable Generator arcing or producing bad seals?

Arcing or bad seals in your Sebra Portable Generator can occur due to several reasons. The sealing area might be contaminated, so you should clean the sealing jaws. Moisture in the sealing area or on the tubing can also cause this issue, so ensure the tubing's exterior, the sealing region, and adjacent areas are clean and dry. If you're using a hand-held lever, make sure you're not releasing it prematurely; wait until the sealing indicator light is off. Ensure the sealing head is being used properly and that you are using tubing for blood and blood products (usually PVC). Also, ensure the sealing head jaws close evenly.
