* Referto engine operator's manualand follow oil and

fuel recommendations and instructions.

Lubricate O-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important 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.

NOTfCE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings priorto assemblingthe garden hose to the pump (A),
high pressure hose (B), spraygun (C), and nozzle
extension(D).

NOTfCE Checkoil oftenduring engine break-in. Referto
engine operator's manualfor recommendations.

Lubricateall cennectiens shewnbelew, feiiewing these
instru;tions:

1. Inspect and clean connecting 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 swabto apply grease
directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
