Lubricate OoRings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremelyimportant 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.
NOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (A),
high pressure hose (B), spraygun (C), and nozzle
extension(D).
Lubricateaii connections shownbelow, following these
instructions:
1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces priorto
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swabto apply grease
directly to oorings wherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
