Possible it exerts a negative pressure creating some kind of vacuum against a surface?
The authors' receptor lymph idea sounds reasonable to me. If these chemoreceptors are there to pick up chemical cues from the substrate, receptor lymph could dissolve the chemicals in the substrate and allow them to diffuse through the lymph to the chemoreceptor that is within the ribbed hair.
