CAUTION:

DO NOT use muriatic acid for the cleaning of any parts. Muriatic

acid, even when strongly diluted, can harm chrome plating, and may leave a

Silicone rubber requires no lubrication or preservative treatment. DO NOT

apply grease or spray to silicone rubber parts. Doing so may cause a chemical break-
down and premature deterioration of the material.
