Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation and
operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease)
during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and provides an
improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring from damage by
abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o-rings
prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump (A), high
pressure hose (pump end) (B), high pressure hose (gun end)
(C), turbo wand (gun end) (D), metal wand (spray tip end) (E)
and metal wand (gun end)(F).
Lubricate all connections shown below, following these
instructions:
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.
