O-Ring Care and Maintenance
Your Gates housing has 3 serviceable o-rings:
Housing Main Seal (ORANGE );
Port (YELLOW); and
Port Ring (YELLOW).
Servicing the o-rings is easy and covered in the “Housing Care and Maintenance”
document in this package. It can also be found on the Gates website at
www.gateshousings.com
.
CAUTION:
Do not lubricate the large ORANGE o-ring! It is a special silicone o-
ring and can be damaged by petroleum-based lubricants. Only the BLACK and
YELLOW o-rings are safe to lubricate.
CAUTION:
Never use metal tools or objects for removing o-rings!
