NOTE:
Before you begin, make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position
and that the power supply has been disconnected.

Check all controls and accessible items (power switch, connectors, screws, nuts
and bolts) to make sure they are properly tightened. Tighten any loose item(s).
2. Check that all controls and connectors are free of dust.
3. Check that all O-rings in the headplate are intact and in good condition. Replace
those that are not.

Only hand tighten ports: never use a wrench!
If you need to seal a leak, replace the O-ring.

When it needs to be replaced:
1. Pull the old O-ring out with a knife or a flat-bladed screwdriver.
2. Lubricate the new O-ring with a light coat of silicone grease.
3. Insert the new O-ring, making sure it is well-seated in the groove.
