HAMBER AP
The cell chamber cap contains an O-ring that requires routine maintenance. The chamber cap O-
ring should be greased at the beginning of each period of use.
Fine fibers and particles between the O-ring and its sealing surfaces can cause leaks, as can
scratches or cuts in the O-ring or in the metal surfaces.
