Assembly
Lubricate 0-R ings
Lubrication of c:rrings is extremely important for
insta
ll ation and operation. The use of a lubricant
(petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps seat
o-rings properly and provides an improved seal.
II also
helps protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion, pinching
or
cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a sma ll amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose
to the pump
(A), high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C
), and nozzle
extension (D).
Lu bri cate a ll co nnections shown , following these instructi ons :
1. Inspect and cl
ean connecting surfaces pr ior to
l ubr ication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly
du ring assembly; a light fi lm
is all that is required.
3. U se a sma ll brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly
to o-rings where th ey are not accessible (QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
