Lubricate OoRings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The useof a lubricant (petroleumor 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.
HOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on o-
rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump
inlet (A), high pressure hoseto pump outlet (B), high
pressure hose(C), spray gun (D), and nozzleextension(E).
Lubricateaii connections shownbelow, following these
instructions:
1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3. Usea small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to ooringswherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).

WARNING ChemicalBurn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause burns resulting in death
or serious injury.
* DO NOTuse caustic liquid with pressure washer,
* UseONLYpressurewasher safe detergents/soaps, Follow all
manufacturers instructions,
To apply detergent, fallow these steps:
