Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The useof a lubricant (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.
NOTfCE ALWAYSapplya small amountof lubricanton
o-rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (A),
high pressure hose(B), spray gun (C),and nozzle
extension(D).
Lubricateall cennectiens shewnbelew, feiiewing these
instru;tions:
1. Inspect and cleanconnecting 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 o-rings wherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
