Step Four: Lubrication and Reassembly


23 Inspect the Vacuum Lever O-rings for Damage

If the O-rings shows signs of cracking, breakage, or crusty build-up that can not be completely cleaned with a wet cotton swab, the O-ring will need to be removed and replaced.

If properly maintained and lubricated, the O-ring can last for many months or years.


24 If Necessary, Remove the O-ring from the Vacuum Levers

Using a probe with a point, pinch and slide the O-ring to one side to create a small loop.

Slide the O-ring off.

Insert the probe point under the O-ring.


25 Replace the O-ring on the Vacuum Levers

Roll the O-ring onto the end of the Vacuum Lever valve barrel and into the groove.

O-ring in place.


26 Lubricate the Vacuum Lever O-rings

Coat the O-ring by applying a small amount of the Dow 111 O-ring Lubricant provided in the O-ring Maintenance Kit.

THE VACUUM LEVER O-RINGS REQUIRE REGULAR LUBRICATION TO OPERATE AT PEAK EFFICIENCY.


27 Inspect the Vacuum Hose O-ring for Damage

If the O-ring shows signs of cracking, breakage, or crusty build-up that can not be completely cleaned with a wet cotton swab, the O-ring will need to be removed and replaced.

The O-ring is located less than ½ inch inside the grey plastic fitting at the head of the Vacuum Hose.


28 If Necessary, Remove the O-ring from the Vacuum Hose

Hold the head of the Vacuum Hose and insert a probe with a point under the O-ring.

Gently guide the probe around the groove.The O-ring should come out.

Pull out the O-ring.


29 Replace the O-ring on the Vacuum Hose

Pinch the O-ring and insert one end into the groove.

Using the probe, massage the O-ring into the groove.


30 Lubricate the Vacuum Hose O-ring

Coat the O-ring by applying a small amount of the Dow 111 O-ring Lubricant provided in the O-ring Maintenance Kit.

THE Vacuum Hose O-RING REQUIRES REGULAR LUBRICATION TO OPERATE AT PEAK EFFICIENCY
