Labricate OoRings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for instaflation

and operation. The useof a lubricant (petrobum or synthetic

grease)during assemNy 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 fife of the o-ring.

NOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amountof lubricant on

o-rings priorto assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (C),

high pressure hose(D), spray gun (E), and nozzle

extension(F).

Labrieateaii connections shown below, following these

instraetions:

1, inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

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

all that is required.

3. Use a small brush or cotton swabto apply grease

directly to ooringswherethey are not accessible(QC

fitting, M22 fitting).
