Tada,

I would recommend to lube the o-rings on the accordion tube as these are easy to damage when you are pushing trying to secure the locking ring.

Also, examine closely the accordion hose as a crack can be difficult to see, yet will have a vacuum leak and make a mess if left unattended.

Good luck.
