• Tiny dirt particles that are difficult to see may
have adhered to the O-ring, so inspect the O-
ring by running it through your fingers.
• When wiping away dirt from the O-ring, take
care that cloth fibers do not remain on the O-
ring.
• When it is difficult to wipe away the dirt from
the O-ring, remove the O-ring and wash it with
water.
• Be sure to replace the O-ring with a new one if
it becomes cracked, warped, crushed, twisted,
