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.
HOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on o-
rings priorto assemblingthe garden hose to 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. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to oorings wherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
