LubricateO-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely importantfor 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 ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump (A),
spray gun (13),high pressure hose (C), and nozzle
extension (D).
