foreign objects such as sand, dust, or hair on the O-Ring.
2. For maintenance of the Marelux O-Ring, only use the original lubricant supplied by Marelux.

edge to change the O-Ring.

the O-Ring. Be aware that too much lubricant may make dust, sand, hair or other small
objects easy to stick on the O-ring.

6. Suggest taking out the O-Ring to check before each use of the housing.
