Labricate OoRings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for instaflation
and operation. The useof a lubricant (petrobum or synthetic
grease)during assemNy 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 fife of the o-ring.

o-rings priorto assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (C),
high pressure hose(D), spray gun (E), and nozzle
extension(F).

Labrieateaii connections shown below, following these
instraetions:

1, inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly; afight film is
all that is required.
