Installation Procedure

1. Inspect the O-ring and mating groove for cleanliness and damage. Ensure both are free from debris, burrs, or imperfections. 2. Lightly lubricate the O-ring with a compatible lubricant recommended for Viton and the fluid being sealed. 3. Carefully install the O-ring into its designated groove, avoiding any stretching or twisting. Ensure it sits evenly and without deformation.
