LubricateO-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremelyimportant for installation
and operation. Theuse of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease)during assembly helpsseat o-rings properly and
provides animproved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring
from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the lifeof the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hoseto the pump
(A), high pressure hose (pump end) (B), high pressurehose
(gun end) (C),turbo wand (gun end) (D),adjustable fan
jet wand(fan jet end) (E) and adjustablefan jet wand (gun
end) (F).
Lubricate all connectionsshown below, following these
instructions:
1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to lubrication
and assembly.
2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is
all that is required.
