FIXING A LEAKING SWIVEL
It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet
and have seated. If the leaking continues, you do not need to take
the cart back to the store. This is a simple problem and is easily
fixed by a simple procedure:
1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose
and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a hex key or a large screw driver, insert the tool
into the hex opening and gently tighten the threaded insert to
stop the leaking. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
3. If the unit still leaks, check that the hose washer is inside the
nut. You may contact customer service for a new hose washer
or obtain one at any hardware store.
4. If your swivel is old, the O-rings may be worn. Contact
customer service for a new set of O-rings.
5. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, then contact
customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON.
