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
inlet(A), high pressure hose (B), nozzle extension (C), and
spray gun(D).
Lubricate all connections shown below, following these
instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
