Remove the O-ring.

To remove the O-ring, press it lightly and slide it in the direction of the
arrow as illustrated. The O-ring has enough slack to be able to be removed
easily. Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernail.

Inspect the O-ring.

• Check carefully for the following. If found, wipe off with a soft cloth or

tissue paper.
– Is there any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps, etc. on the O-ring?
– Is there any old grease on the O-ring?

• Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible

dirt.

• Be careful not to leave any cloth or tissue paper fibers on the O-ring after

wiping it.

• Check the O-ring for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches,

sand inclusion, etc. Replace the O-ring if it is cracked or scratched.
