Silicone grease protects the O-ring from
chafing. After checking the O-ring to make
sure that there are no scratches, dust, or
debris, apply a light coating of silicone grease
to the entire O-ring with your finger. Applying
too much grease will make it easier for dust
and debris to adhere to the O-ring, and could
cause flooding.
When fitting the O-ring into the O-ring
groove, insert it straight into the groove; do
not bend or twist it.
Precautions on Handling the O-ring
Coat with silicone grease
Do not twist the O-ring
Remove the O-ring for inspection before each use
Be careful about how you store O-rings
O-rings last for one year
Although it depends on how well they are maintained, how often they are used,
and how they are stored, O-rings generally last for one year. It is advisable to
inspect them before use, and replace them early.
When storing spare O-rings or O-rings that you have removed from the housing,
keep them in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Also, when storing O-rings, do
not place heavy objects on them or twist them.
In principle, the O-ring should be removed before each use so that the O-ring,
O-ring groove, and O-ring contact surfaces can be checked. This is because you
cannot find any sand or debris that may have gotten into the O-ring groove if the
O-ring is not removed. For routine maintenance prior to each use, it is advisable
to make sure to remove the O-ring.
