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 to pump outlet (B),

high pressure hose (C), nozzle extension (D), and

spray gun (E).

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

lm is all that is required.

3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease

directly to o-rings where they are not accessible

(QC tting, M22 tting).
