Lubricate OoRings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation

and operation. The useof alubricant (petroleum or synthetic

grease)during assembly helpsseat o-rings properly and

provides an improved seal. it also helps protect the o-ring

from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends

the life of the o-ring.

NOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on

o-rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (A),

high pressure hose(B), spray gun (C),and nozzle

extension(D).

Lubricateaii connections shownbelow, following these

instructions:

1. inspect andcleanconnecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is

all that is required.

3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease

directly to ooringswherethey arenot accessible(QC

fitting, M22 fitting).

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

NOTICE DONOTrun the pump without the water supply

connectedand turned on.
